fiber optic cable networks

Fiber optic cable networks are an essential infrastructure links in the global telecommunications network.  Fiber optic cable networks provide for efficient, high-bandwidth transmission of voice, data and video over long-distances.  Some countries, such as USA, and parts of Europe were "early movers" in building out their fiber optic broadband networks, which have been continuously upgraded and expanded.  In those countries, the fiber optic network serves as the backbone for their modern telecommunications networks.  Other countries with much less developed fiber optic networks have alternatively relied disproportionately on satellite communications as their "long-haul" backbone of their telecommunications systems. 

Globally, an extensive and dense fiber optic cable network has been laid both overland and undersea.  Overland, fiber optic cables are often laid along roadway, railway, pipelines, and utility transmission rights-of-way.  Planning transportation, transmission and pipeline infrastructure projects and networks in a manner that includes the leasing of fiber optic rights should be part of a wholistic multi-modal planning frame work that includes public and private stakeholders is an increasingly smart strategy.

DCS experts can assist both public and private sector clients in evaluating, planning, financing, developing, constructing, operating and managing communications towers projects and managing asset portfolios.  

Within the fiber optic cables infrastructure sector DCS experts maintain relationships with related project consultants and participants including: both international and local legal advisors; technical, engineering and environmental/social advisors, economic/market consultants; contractors, vendors and technology providers; strategic and financial equity sponsors; lenders (including commercial lendersinternational/development financial institutions (IFIs/DFIs), Export Credit Agencies and Export-Import Banks (ECA/Ex-IMs), institutional lenders, bond funds and investment banks) and credit rating agencies (if applicable).  We are always prepared and highly experienced in taking on a lead transaction advisory or project/program management role where we coordinate and manage (in some cases, procure and retain via subcontract) various technical, legal and other consultants required for the project.  On behalf of our clients we are also prepared and accustomed to leading and concluding negotiations with governmental/public sector or equity sponsors, contractors and vendors, lenders, rating agencies and regulators, as may be relevant for a given project.

In many client cases, there may also be a significant nexus between communication towers infrastructure assets and facilities and other sectors that we specialize in, such as technology (5G networks), transportation (roadway, rail, pipeline and transmission corridors and air rights), real estate (urban air rights), and others.  We are prepared to bring our complementary expertise in these other sectors to our telecommunications infrastructure sector clients, as their specific project may benefit.  There may be many collaborative partnership opportunities between diverse companies and public and private service providers, who may also have synergistic objectives and opportunities related to fiber optic cable assets and systems.  We can help our clients expand the horizons of their project and analyze and understand synergistic economic and commercial impacts related to fiber optics infrastructure assets and public services.  This will help forge potential new innovative partnerships with both private and public sector parties, where significant added-value can be realized.
