03 / DELIVER AND COMMISSION
One team from design to commissioning
Our engineers and installation teams work together through delivery, keeping project knowledge connected from the design brief to the acceptance tests.
A tested network. A traceable handover.
OUR EXPERTISEWHAT IT DELIVERS
- Project planning and management
- Planning, scheduling, coordination and reporting through every phase, from mobilisation to handover.
- Procurement, staging and logistics
- Partner equipment sourced as part of your Photonix-delivered project, with configuration, testing and delivery requirements agreed in the project scope.

- Testing and commissioning
- OTDR and loss testing, link alignment and performance testing against agreed acceptance criteria, with traceable results.
- Central office and equipment room installation
- Rack, frame, transmission and multiplexing equipment installed and tested in exchanges, data halls and equipment rooms.
- Migration and cutover
- Staged migration of legacy TDM and serial services to IP, with parallel running and tested rollback.
- OEM and prime contractor delivery
- Installation and commissioning services delivered on behalf of equipment manufacturers and prime contractors.
04 / SUPPORT AND OPERATE
Performance sustained beyond handover
Keep your network performing as operating needs evolve. We also support networks built by others, beginning with a comprehensive health check and an agreed support plan.
Continuity throughout the network’s life.
OUR EXPERTISEWHAT IT DELIVERS
- Preventive maintenance
- Scheduled inspections, cleaning, alignment checks and firmware updates.
- Fault response
- Remote diagnosis and on-site support, with coverage and response arrangements agreed in your support plan.
- Network performance monitoring
- Integration with our technology partners’ network management systems for visibility into network performance, with monitoring responsibilities agreed in your support plan.
- Spares management
- Identify critical spares and agree sourcing, holding and replenishment arrangements for your network.
- Off-grid power and site monitoring
- Battery, charging, load and environmental alarms for remote and edge sites, integrated into your operations environment.
- Lifecycle planning and upgrades
- End-of-life tracking, capacity reviews and upgrade roadmaps, so that replacements are planned rather than urgent.
05 / TRAIN AND ENABLE
Confidence for the teams who operate the network
Training built around your team, your equipment and your operating procedures. We work with our technology partners to carry knowledge through to the people who use the network every day.
Your team, ready to take ownership.
OUR EXPERTISEWHAT IT DELIVERS

A FEW USEFUL ANSWERS
Before we begin.
Have a specific network or project in mind?
Speak with our expertsCan you support a network Photonix did not build?
Yes. We begin with a health check of the design, configuration and records, then agree a support plan tailored to the network.
Can we engage Photonix for a single service?
Yes. You can engage us for one stage, such as a feasibility study, testing and commissioning, or training, and extend the engagement as your needs grow.
Do you supply equipment on its own?
No. Photonix is a systems integrator. We source partner equipment as part of the networks we design, deliver and support.
