Field Audits

AFO’s Field Services Group can solve the problem of not knowing what you have and exactly where it is in your network. To maximize the earning potential of your network and to minimize its maintenance costs, AFO can audit and document your entire network in the GIS based relational database management system, OSPInSight. With OSPInSight you will have a virtual map of your network and all the related details that can make your network profitable.

  • Cable routes - verify the cable route, aerial vs. underground, pole attachments, slack loop locations, manhole locations and details, cable type and size, GPS coordinates, respective route details.
