- The City of Fremont is the fourth-largest city in the San Francisco Bay Area at 88.46 square miles.
- The subcontractor our client employed to conduct the CCTV inspection of the cites utilities prior to fiber installation pulled out of the job before the post-installation inspections could be completed due to the size and complexity of the project.
Solution
