Getting a circuit into a building in Oakland

Oakland’s commercial stock leans toward older mid-rise buildings and converted industrial space, and in either one the work begins by finding a route from the street to your space. Our survey traces that route and tells you whether service comes in by fiber, by radio from the roof or over a link of your own.

Fiber from a lateral at the building
When a fiber lateral already runs into your building, we light it and hand you service as Ethernet in your space. Nothing has to be dug, so this is the fastest of the three.
A roof radio when no fiber is there
When no fiber reaches the building, a radio on the roof brings service in. We aim it at our network along a clear line of sight, and once the owner approves the mount there is nothing to dig and no street permit to wait for.
A dedicated link for heavy traffic
When your site needs capacity that no other customer shares, we build a point-to-point link from our network to your building alone, and all of its capacity is yours.

A high-rise upgrade and an office-and-warehouse switch

A high-rise whose communication costs fell by more than half, upgraded with minimal disruption.

The client needed Wi-Fi in the common areas, internet at EV chargers that had none, a replacement for a costly and outdated back-office voice system, and better connections for vendors and deliveries, all without invasive work. We installed access points through the common areas and ran fiber and Ethernet out to the chargers. With our VoIP service we modernized its back-office voice, its intercoms and its vendor systems, down to the parcel lockers and package monitoring, and we reused the building’s existing infrastructure wherever it would serve.

Seamless Connectivity Upgrade for High Rise Efficiency and Modernization

An office and warehouse moved to our internet and VoIP, loudspeakers and intercom included.

This business was weighing new connectivity when one of our field technicians showed it that our network already reached its building, which made the choice easy. The open question was whether the loudspeakers and intercom running through its existing phone setup would keep working on VoIP. We brought our internet and VoIP live with very little downtime, rebuilt the loudspeaker and intercom arrangement to run on our VoIP, then tested it and tuned it. Nothing went quiet during the changeover, and the client came away highly satisfied and spending significantly less.

Seamless VoIP Upgrade With Reliable Legacy System Integration

Older mid-rises and converted industrial buildings

How many tenants share the building, and who holds its roof and wiring, decide how a circuit reaches your space and when it can go in.

Older mid-rise office buildings

Where several tenants share a mid-rise, the owner holds the roof, the riser and the telecom closets. We plan the cable path up the riser to your floor, and we schedule the work once the owner approves that path or a radio mount on the roof. If fiber already reaches the building, the job is a short one.

A converted industrial building of your own

With the whole building to yourself, we have one roof and one demarc to assess, so the survey moves fast. Your start date then rests on whether fiber is already on the property or the roof has a clear view of our network. If you lease, the owner’s sign-off is the only approval the work needs.

Industrial buildings split into units

When an industrial building is divided among several tenants, cable left by earlier occupants and earlier uses may run through it with no one keeping track of where it goes. We find out what is still live at your demarc first and design the circuit around it, and the owner approves the roof mount and the cable route through shared space to your unit.

Oakland’s older buildings may lose the copper their alarms dial out on

AT&T’s filing names Okld-45th, Okld-Holly and Okld-Mountain, for part of each one’s serving area. In a mid-rise or a converted warehouse, an alarm dialer or elevator phone wired decades ago may be the last copper line anyone still pays for.

The first day AT&T may stop the service is June 1, 2027.

Oakland business internet questions

Yes, wherever your business is in Oakland. From the address, we work out whether service reaches you over fiber, by fixed wireless from the roof, or on a dedicated link built for that one building.

Yes. Your speed depends on how the circuit reaches the building. A fiber lateral at the property can carry any tier we sell, up to 10 Gbps, and where there is no lateral we engineer a wireless link from your roof sized to what you need.

Yes. Upload runs at the same speed as download on every circuit we deliver, whatever tier you order. Sending files to clients, backing up offsite and holding video calls all lean on upload, which is the direction an asymmetrical plan shortchanges.

Yes. We provide business VoIP along with internet, so your phones can run over the circuit we bring in. If anything else is wired into your current phone system, such as an intercom or overhead paging, tell us about it when you send the address.

Neither. No circuit we deliver has a data cap, and we do not throttle any of them, so a month of heavy backups and uploads runs at the speed you ordered from start to finish.

Tell us the address and the space you are in

A suite number, a floor or a unit inside a converted building all help, along with the name of whoever manages the property. We come back with the connection we would build for your space and the date it can go in.
