Astound Broadband MDU and Antenna Program

Cannon has built this network across the Puget Sound region and Portland since 2016, first for Wave Broadband and now for Astound, and holds the master service agreement today. Cannon designs and constructs the rooftop and in-building infrastructure that carries gigabit service to residents and tenants: galvanized steel antenna masts, microwave and fiber backhaul, rooftop conduit, riser pathway and fiber terminated to individual units. More than 300 buildings run on this network, from garden apartments to Onni Towers, a 45 story tower in downtown Seattle serving 454 units.

Services Employed:

• Galvanized steel antenna masts built on building rooftops with microwave and fiber backhaul
• Rooftop conduit for fiber optic, data and power cabling
• Fiber optic cabling pulled and terminated in telecom rooms and in individual units and offices
• Cat6A structured cabling, managed WiFi and wireless access point installations
• Proposed unit designs and pre-termination packages produced ahead of construction
• Coordination with Astound and general contractors to land in new construction schedules
• More than 300 buildings completed across Western Washington and Portland, Oregon
• Program held through the Wave to Astound transition without a break in service
