Mobile Network Operators

Extenet advances connectivity for MNOs with Fiber, Small Cell, DAS, Edge and Building Communications Infrastructure Solutions. We enable the data speeds needed for today’s high-speed communications world.

Delivering Tomorrow’s Connectivity Today for the MNOs

Improving service and reducing churn are primary goals for our Mobile Network Operator customers. Given the cost and difficulty in acquiring new subscribers, MNOs focus on increasing retention by improving network performance and service assurance. Today, 5G network densification has begun as an overlay to the existing 4G LTE networks. Spectrum remains a premium, and MNOs look increasingly toward infrastructure and spectrum investment monetization. Extenet’s distributed networks (DNS)—including fiber, small cells and DAS networks—deliver advanced mobile connectivity for the MNOs. Bandwidth-intensive data and video applications require a distributed network topology to deliver a high-performance network. Leveraging rights-of-way (ROW) infrastructure in the outdoors and real estate property indoors to bring network elements closer to the users, the distributed networks deliver a high-speed, high-bandwidth, always-connected experience.

Your Network, Our Commitment

As a leading neutral-host communications infrastructure partner, Extenet ensures best-in-class connectivity solutions and superior customer service. Since 2005, we have enabled advanced mobile connectivity outdoors via small cells and DAS. Leveraging our purpose-built and high-capacity fiber network, we have deployed over 300 outdoor networks. We are highly responsive and flexible while catering to the unique needs of our customers by delivering:

Turnkey small cells and DAS networks in majority of our deployments
Fiber-only builds if our customers indicate so
Node-only builds if our customers have existing fiber in the area

Our expertise extends indoors where we have networks in several verticals, including commercial office and multi-use buildings, hotels and convention centers, sports and entertainment venues, healthcare facilities and transit systems. While we primarily design, build and operate the distributed networks, we also increasingly offer consultation and managed services for our customers. We have enabled advanced mobility and building communications service in over 200 buildings. Our 5G service in AT&T Stadium is the first instance of 5G indoors. Today, we are engaged with building owners and MNOs to deliver private LTE networks using CBRS spectrum. Bottom line, we are committed to the success of our customers, always!

Delivering Tomorrow’s Connectivity Today with Wholesale Services

Network operators, including broadband carriers, have distinct needs to augment or extend their local, metro and even long-haul fiber footprint. High-bandwidth and secure connectivity is often needed, including dark fiber and lit services. Redundancy in the network is also important for carriers. Carriers often leverage Extenet’s dark fiber transport infrastructure or subscribe to our Layer 2 fiber-based telecom services or utilize a hybrid blend of both in a wholesale agreement. Extenet has high-capacity fiber network in several markets with national interconnectivity. Our customer-centered approach, alongside our fiber and mobility experience, sets us apart. We have purpose-built our fiber networks over the years, which delivers low-latency and high-performance guarantees. We also have access agreements with hundreds of buildings and can help connect carriers to buildings and customers.

Multi-Service Offerings via Our Purpose-Built, High-Capacity Fiber Network

Integrating our existing network infrastructure as a virtual extension can be executed quickly for several use cases, including:

New network points of presence (PoPs)
Adding capacity between existing network assets
Laterally extending the last mile to serve a desirable commercial property

Carriers often face challenges around cost, schedule and permitting when looking at market or network expansion. Leveraging Extenet’s partnership and existing transport capabilities can be a smart option to save time and budget while reducing complexity.

In addition, carriers lacking building-access rights but interested in accessing a commercial building to serve enterprises can partner with Extenet. In our fiber markets, we also typically manage in-building fiber in several marquis buildings. Extenet has secured all necessary access and pre-wired the buildings to allow interested carriers to simply “plug in” and get immediate access to the enterprise customers. We are always committed to the success of our customers. Please contact Extenet at sales@extenetsystems.com to discuss ways we can enable your fiber connectivity.
