Process

1. Project Approved

Race Communications stakeholders approve a project after completing market research, analysis, and close communication with municipalities, permitting offices, and partners. Race will then meet with all parties involved, including engineers and construction crews.

2. Engineering

Race surveys and tests the existing infrastructure to create CAD (computer-aided design) designs to display the layout of construction and the new fiber community.

3. Permitting

Race applies for permits allowing the procurement of space on utility poles. Permitting must be approved before moving into the construction phase.

4. Construction

Steel cables are attached to utility poles to attach fiber optic cables to them. The fiber optic cables are run from a centralized node that provides the laser light signal that will be converted into an Internet signal.

5. Test Splice’n Drop

A smaller “fiber drop cable” is run to the home either aerially or underground (depending on the site survey), and then the equipment is installed before testing the signal.

6. Final Installation

An ONT (Optical Network Terminal) that converts the laser light from the fiber to electrical signals is installed and connected to a router inside the home. An Internet connection from the router can come from either a hardwire or WiFi.

1. What goes into building Race fiber to a community?

Bringing our services to a community is a resource-intensive project that requires careful research and planning. From start to finish, there are 4 primary phases to our process, each with its own sub-steps and processes such as research & engineering, design & permitting, construction, and sign-up, and in-home installations.

2. What access will you need to my home or business?

Our installation process has two stages that require access to your property. The first stage is known as the “drop” where Race technicians will bring our fiber to your building’s exterior. You do not need to be present for this part of the process, but we will schedule with you so that you can leave gates unlocked and keep pets inside or in a secured area.

3. I have a concern about construction in my area, who can I speak to?

First impressions mean so much, and we know that sometimes our construction can be a messy process – we want residents to know that if something should happen on your property and you have concerns. Give us a call at 877-722-3833 and let us know what’s on your mind. You can also use our “construction assistance” form to submit information and pictures.

4. Are there usage or bandwidth limits on your services?

No, our plans are truly unlimited so you are free to use your Internet whenever and however you want. Please note, if we find that you are using our services for illegal activities, spamming, or in any way that negatively impacts other members of the Race community, we will take the actions necessary to prevent you from doing so.

5. Will I be able to use Wi-Fi with Race Fiber?

Absolutely! Race offers a wireless router option at the time of sign-up. Race also offers whole home Mesh Wi-iFi extenders! These units ensure you can use your high-speed Race internet wirelessly throughout your home!

6. If I choose to get a new phone number from Race, what will my prefix be?

The number you are assigned will likely have a prefix commonly associated with your community, though the actual phone number assignment is out of our control. Phone number assignment is handled by NANPA (North American Numbering Plan Administration), which will let you know what numbers are available.

7. What channels do you offer with RaceTV?

Race offers a variety of channels and we are always working on improving our channel lineup. For the most up-to-date lineup, please see our channel guide.
