The 4,500 feet in downtown Las Vegas continued the project and was just north of the Strip, running along Las Vegas Boulevard to Charleston. The company was founded by Ken Fishel back in 1936 and moved into the Las Vegas market in 2006 after purchasing Kaccel Communication, a longtime underground contractor in the area.īefore starting on the downtown project, Team Fishel completed a 7,500-foot install in Warm Springs, NV, just west of Interstate 15. Team Fishel, based in Columbus, OH, is a family-owned utility construction and network installation contractor with 23 offices in 11 states.
Dark fibers are lines that have yet to be used within cables that have been already laid and are not yet connected to any device.
The company was hired by AT&T to reinforce an existing fiber line, which will upgrade a new long-haul fiber communications line and make a dark-fiber integration between AT&T and Level 3 Communications, which operates one of the largest communications and Internet backbones in the world.
This was the case for Brian Dunlevy and his crew at Team Fishel in Las Vegas. Doing any kind of road work in downtown Las Vegas is going to take some planning, but installing 4,500 feet of fiber-optic cable in the middle of the city is going to require weeks of painstaking coordination.
