brasada ranch utility company™ Your new home will be connected to a development-wide fiber optic network via Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH). FTTH is the ONLY technology that will deliver enough bandwidth and reliability necessary for today’s communication technologies, while securing your home’s capabilities for future generation of technology advancements.
Why do you need a Network Interface Device?
The Network Interface Device serves 3 primary functions:
OVERVIEW
In addition to installing the site-wide fiber optic backbone, Brasada Ranch Utility Company will be the telephone, and internet services provider for Brasada Ranch. To facilitate the activation of these services, each homeowner must have a Network Interface Device installed on the exterior of their home.
1. Connectivity The Network Interface Device (NID) is the primary media conversion device. It is absolutely essential for completing the delivery of services. The community-wide fiber optic cable is terminated at the incoming NID connection. The house CAT5e or CAT6 wiring/network is connected to the NID outgoing connections. The NID converts the incoming optical signal to internet and telephone signals for the delivery of house wide services. In comparison to conventional service providers, our NID replaces the phone network interface device (NID) and the internet modem. With fiber optics you also gain the capacity to accommodate future technology enhancements.
2. Power Conditioning & Back-up An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) with battery is provided to protect the NID from power strikes, brown outs and lightning strikes, i.e. power conditioning. In the case of power outages, the UPS will keep the NID operational for up to 4 hours. This is essential for the continuous delivery of phone services. The NID will function without the UPS and battery, however, in rural locations the power is frequently down and is subject to fluctuations resulting in spikes and brown outs. In the summer months, locations may experience numerous thunder and lightning storms which can knock out unprotected electronics. So in order to provide reliable services, the UPS and batteries provide a necessary function.
3. Weatherization Brasada Ranch enjoys four distinct seasons. They also can experience extreme temperature and weather swings from hot, dry summer days to blistering cold, winter nights. In order to protect the NID electronics (NID & UPS), a weather proof locking panel is required for mounting the NID on the exterior of the home. It will keep the rain and snow out while allowing the service technician to access the equipment without having to inconvenience the homeowner.
What are the installation responsibilities of Brasada Ranch Utility Co.?
Pull the fiber from the neighborhood vault to EMCE. Splice/terminate both fiber ends. Install Network Interface Device (NID) and Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) in the External Media Cabinet Enclosure (EMCE).
