Fibre and test work on live optical and wireless plant.

01At a glance

We install and commission the optical and wireless layers that move traffic between exchanges, data centres and the radio network.

DWDM equipment is installed and brought into service with the same discipline as the fibre that feeds it — racked, powered, tested and handed over ready for traffic.

Alongside optical work we deliver DC and exchange services for carriers and hyperscale customers — including BT Openreach, Zayo, NEOS, Virgin Media, Altibox, Microsoft, Meta and Amazon — plus DCIC on RF projects and RAN optimisation on 3G, 4G and 5G.

02Scope of works

Five disciplines. One field team.

Each package can stand alone or run as part of a wider optical and wireless programme — from first rack to a network that is performing to plan.

  1. Fibre being spliced in an underground chamber
    01

    DWDM installation and commissioning

    Dense wavelength equipment installed, commissioned and proven before traffic is trusted to it.

    • Equipment install to site and vendor specification
    • Power, fibre and management connectivity
    • Commissioning and acceptance testing
    • Handover records for operations
  2. Close-up of fibre network cabinet equipment
    02

    DC and exchange services

    Data centre and exchange works for carriers and hyperscale programmes that need plant brought up cleanly.

    • DC and exchange installation support
    • Works aligned to customer method statements
    • Coordination with site and security regimes
    • Carrier and hyperscale customer programmes
  3. Vital Telecom technicians working on a new-build residential street
    03

    DCIC on RF and wireless projects

    Design, construction, installation and commissioning — with testing — on customer RF and wireless programmes.

    • DCIC delivery on RF and wireless sites
    • Installation and commissioning to project spec
    • Testing before the site is accepted
    • Records that match what was built
  4. Engineer testing a fibre link with a light meter
    04

    RAN optimisation — 3G, 4G and 5G

    Radio access network optimisation so coverage and capacity match what the design promised.

    • RAN optimisation across 3G, 4G and 5G
    • Performance measured against the plan
    • Adjustments with the customer’s radio team
    • Support through cutover and early life
  5. Vital Telecom engineers working on fibre patching inside an open street cabinet
    05

    Network optimisation

    Broader network optimisation that keeps optical, exchange and wireless layers working as one system.

    • End-to-end performance reviews
    • Bottlenecks flagged where layers meet
    • Recommendations tied to live plant
    • Follow-up after changes are made

03How we deliver

Install. Commission. Test. Optimise.

Optical and wireless programmes fail when install and air performance are treated as separate jobs. We keep them on one rhythm.

  1. 01

    Install

    Place DWDM, DC/exchange and RF plant to the agreed design and site rules.

    Outputs

    • Equipment and plant in position
    • Power and fibre landed
    • Site constraints respected

  2. 02

    Commission

    Bring systems up to vendor and customer commissioning standards before anyone signs acceptance.

    Outputs

    • Commissioning scripts completed
    • Alarms and management checked
    • Ready for formal test

  3. 03

    Test

    Prove optical paths, DCIC deliverables and RF behaviour with records the customer can keep.

    Outputs

    • Test results against spec
    • Defects cleared or logged
    • Acceptance pack prepared

  4. 04

    Optimise

    Tune RAN and wider network performance on 3G, 4G and 5G so the live network matches the plan.

    Outputs

    • RAN and network optimisation
    • Performance against KPIs
    • Handover to operations

04In scope

    • Handover into live traffic
  • 02

    DC, exchange and RF

    • Data centre and exchange services
    • DCIC on RF and wireless projects
    • Installation, commissioning and testing
    • Carrier and hyperscale site regimes
  • 03

    Radio and network

    • RAN optimisation on 3G, 4G and 5G
    • Network optimisation across layers
    • Performance against design intent
    • Early-life support after cutover

05Questions

Before you brief us.

Straight answers on DWDM, DC/exchange and wireless programmes. For anything else, speak to the team.

Ask the team

  • Installation and commissioning of DWDM equipment — placed, powered, fibre-connected, commissioned and tested so it is ready for traffic, with handover records for your operations team.

  • Works inside data centres and exchanges for carriers and hyperscale customers. We deliver to the customer’s method statements and site rules, including programmes involving BT Openreach, Zayo, NEOS, Virgin Media, Altibox, Microsoft, Meta and Amazon.

  • Design, construction, installation and commissioning — with testing — on RF and wireless customer projects. The aim is a site that is built, commissioned and accepted against the project specification.

  • RAN optimisation across 3G, 4G and 5G, working with the customer’s radio team so coverage and capacity match the design intent through cutover and early life.

  • RAN focuses on the radio access layer. Network optimisation looks across optical, exchange and wireless layers together — finding where performance is lost at the joins and fixing it against live plant.

  • Yes. DWDM, DC/exchange, DCIC, RAN optimisation and network optimisation can each run alone or as part of one programme with a single accountable field team.

07Next step

Brief us on the site.

Share the DWDM, DC/exchange or RF programme and the acceptance criteria. We will show how Vital can install, commission, test and optimise.
