When you read about a brilliant solution to a seemingly insurmountable problem, it often triggers a, "Why didn't I think of that?" reaction. We experienced that years ago when CityNet's founders looked at the recurring construction problems of urban fiber optic deployment - lack of downtown connectivity, above- and below-ground trenching traumas, high costs, extensive delays. In a burst of innovation, they went underground, developing a pioneering, proprietary solution employing versatile robotics inside sewer lines to construct broadband networks. Today, CityNet's non-invasive answer to laying fiber optic cable in congested urban areas has communication companies and municipalities around the world quickly making connections that at one time seemed unfeasible.

A new idea for broadband construction born from the obvious need to create an alternative to ripping up heavily congested city streets, CityNet fills an important niche as the only company offering a high-tech, cost-effective, and quicker access solution for:

• Urban historic districts:
  The average Metropolitan US city is riddled with historic areas located downtown, typically right in the middle of a backbone route that takes you from the MTU, to the financial districts. Vital city buildings are also many times located on one end of the spectrum where historic districts make connectivity all but impossible. The sewer system allows for connectivity to these buildings while maintaining the area's natural beauty.
  
  
• Difficult-to-negotiate rights-of-way:
  Need to get from one side of a highway to a series of buildings on the opposite side? Is your deployment grinding to a halt because of an expensive railroad right-of-way? CityNet's sewer construction provides a unique opportunity to traverse these hard-to-reach areas without the costs and headaches associated with traditional builds.
  
  
• Congested, utility-burdened, urban streets:
  Urban backlash, lousy community relations, tremendous costs - at times, these are all elements of a heavily trafficked downtown metropolitan area dig. With CityNet's revolutionary in-sewer network construction, a city's downtown can be wired without disruption to its active daily life. No more traditional construction issues. No more snarled traffic.
  
  
• Blanket moratoriums prohibiting traditional trenching construction:
  From initial trenching to the actual repaving, municipalities are realizing the long-term detrimental effects that traditional network deployment causes to their streets as well as the day-to-day inconveniences that occur. As a result, cities are imposing trenching moratoriums to protect their roads. CityNet's in-sewer deployment provides an eco-friendly alternative that keeps streets intact and city life moving ahead.
