Question 1

What services do you provide?

Accepted Answer

JOTT specializes in fiber optic splicing, testing, troubleshooting, and GIS mapping of fiber networks. Our team handles both construction-phase splicing and maintenance work, as well as building accurate digital maps for network documentation and management.  JOTT can also help with utility coordination and crew coordination.

Question 2

Do you support new and existing network projects?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We support greenfield builds, brownfield upgrades, and network expansions. We also perform audits, repairs, and re-splicing for existing infrastructure.

Question 3

Do you perform fusion splicing?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we provide fusion splicing and the associated testing, troubleshooting, and traces.

Question 4

What is GIS Mapping for Fiber Networks?

Accepted Answer

GIS (Geographic Information Systems) mapping is the process of creating a digital, geospatial record of your network.  The record is a databases that includes routes, splice points, cabinets, splitters, terminals, and customer drops.

Question 5

Why do I need GIS Mapping?

Accepted Answer

Accurate GIS maps reduce troubleshooting time, streamline permitting, and improve network planning. They also help operators maintain compliance with local and federal reporting requirements.

Question 6

What file format is the GIS delivered in?

Accepted Answer

We provide shapefiles, geodatabases, or integrations with ArcGIS, QGIS, and other mapping platforms. We can also deliver web-based dashboards for real-time visualization.

Question 7

What type of testing do you use for Fiber Optic Cable?

Accepted Answer

We use OTDR, light source/power meter testing, and insertion loss testing to validate fiber performance and ensure compliance with design specifications.

Question 8

Do you follow industry standards?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We follow ANSI/TIA-568, Telcordia GR-20, NEC requirements, and customer-specific standards.

Question 9

What type of engineering planning do you offer for Fiber To The Home, or FTTH?

Accepted Answer

For FTTH projects, we assist engineering teams by assessing the addressable customers and providing fiber plans, fiber splicing diagrams, and other fiber management design elements.
