Transforming Connectivity: Managing Fibers with Cheri Beranek of Clearfield

Cheri Beranek the President and CEO of the fiber management and connectivity company, explains behind the scenes of addition to the network capacity by tapping into new resources through a hybrid or open network where the ducting infrastructure is established for the community has an environment where they can get access to microduct infrastructure by the collaboration of alternative broadband and internet providers allowing them to provide their own fibers to cater the needs of connectivity.

According to Cheri Beranek this way provides the city to control their environment but to also remember that their service providers are working for profit businesses that need to control their networks. As a result the environment has taken a shape into a model that is modular, scalable, it allows the service provider to recognise their subscriber revenue as they manage their capital asset infrastructure.

Integration enabling a lifestyle

The broadband providers and the service providers of the community including your telecom and cable providers or even alternative providers all have their own assets which they want to protect. Clearfield provides a fire backhaul environment that is managed and accessed by the city, allowing every other service provider to do their work to their maximum potential. Without getting directly a part of the fibers providing business, Clearfield works by enabling community members to get access to better services anywhere and everywhere.

5G rollout

Because of the small cell size, to switch on from 3G 24g 25 times more fibers are required and to get transferred from 4G to 5G 16 times more fibers on the quarterly are required. After doing the simple math the count of fibers for about 1 square mile of 5G coverage requires about 8 miles of fiber.

Clearfield came after the issue of antennas to roll out 5G broadband connections which requires the convergence between wildlife and wireless. To get complete access to powerful 5G networks and to provide the latency, there must be present antennas on every other light pole to effectively pass homes and businesses with a physical wired fiber.

As compared to the 4G, 5G network is a bit complicated. To upgrade the 4G networks, big towers, large areas with fibers were upgraded at the micro site level. To roll out a 5G network the biggest obstacle comes away in permitting which does not even take too long but because of the low expectation of the community the process is time consuming and there can be no planning or executing that can be done for permitting.

As an example, to set antennas on your own light pole if you are the municipality you will be required to take the permission. The process can go beyond the time if the career once the antennas to be placed on a building in that case the permission of the building on a must be taken which poses more restrictions and limitations to the broadband and internet service providers.
