Optelian technical services comprises the entire implementation process from design through installation to ongoing maintenance and troubleshooting. "We offer network design, fiber characterization, installation, configuration, training, and optical power balancing services, along with training on all of these," said Michel Turcot, Optelian's Manager of Customer Technical Support. "We can also provide additional resources needed on projects or provide training to allow technicians to do it themselves."

The technical services suite complements Optelian's high-reliability optical networking systems for network operators who need to concentrate on new services and revenue generation.

According to Georgia Public Web's Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, Jim Hendrickson, "We just really don't have enough bodies for the number of nodes that we need to do in a night. It was very beneficial for us and for our customers as we were able to complete our activities during the maintenance window. The service was excellent. The support was impeccable and the people are highly qualified."
