PalniES
Turnkey Broadband Design and Engineering

Broadband is experiencing a significant upswing, reshaping connectivity and offering faster and more reliable access. Internet service providers (ISP) need end-to-end engineering capabilities and a scalable model to deliver state-of-the-art telecommunication solutions and network infrastructure. However, amid claims of increasing capacity on demand, ISPs contend with a backlog for turnkey engineering design capabilities.

PalniES is a full-service engineering and design organization that offers turnkey tech-driven broadband network solutions with customer-centricity at the core.

A part of Palni Inc., PalniES caters to a diverse clientele, including ISPs, construction companies, and organizations providing localized broadband services to specific markets across the U.S. With ingrained telecom engineering knowledge and extensive experience, it provides tailored solutions to address clients’ distinct design and engineering requirements cost-effectively.

“Our value proposition is clear; no matter what, we are reliable and adept at addressing client needs by delivering efficient services,” says Laki Sundaram, managing partner at PalniES.

Excelling in all walks of broadband engineering, it provides a comprehensive range of services, including feasibility study and cost analysis, fielding, GIS, pole loading analysis, and engineering and design services. Its designs for fiber to the house, business, or cell site are offered in AutoCAD, SpatialNet and various other formats as required by its customers. Various technologies are leveraged to analyze the structural integrity of existing poles and determine their level of reliability. Its geospatial engineering services produce renderings that allow clients to visualize and analyze geographic data.

PalniES solves the challenges of acquiring aerial and underground fiber installation permits by streamlining and simplifying the time-consuming process. The expert team has a model where it engages with the jurisdictions and advances the process to ensure permit approvals quickly. It also helps clients meet the regulatory requirements and standards. Based on the federal and municipal requirements that determine the routes, whether all aerial, underground installations, or alternating, clients are provided with the required support to achieve regulatory compliance. PlaniES’ focus on excellence has enabled clients to record zero rejections from the jurisdictions due to violations.

A Culture Steeped in Customer Satisfaction

Customer-centricity is deeply entrenched in PalniES’ DNA. The team breaks the persistent cookie-cutter mold with a personalized, need-based approach. It understands the challenges individual clients face, agrees on a cost upfront, and paves the path for speedy project completion and problem resolution. Better highlighting its zeal to stay true to its value proposition is its capability to rarely overrun the agreed cost and agility to absorb unforeseen negative impacts.

The ability to skillfully solve problems for clients has enabled it to maintain long-standing relationships with them and bag repeat business. This has catalyzed the transition of its role from being just a vendor to a strategic partner.

A testament to PalniES’ ability to deliver flawless services and build strong relationships with clients is its engagement with an ISP looking to ensure regulatory compliance for advancing its broadband project. Multiple vendors partnered with them in building broadband networks for cities and neighborhoods with a target of around 50,000 homes a year. The client was challenged with delays in receiving approvals from the regulatory boards. PalniES started as one of its vendors offering design services and, due to its expertise, extended its value proposition to bring down the timelines for aerial permits from six months to a month. It helped the client prepare the documents for jurisdiction permits, contain costs, and comply with regulations as quickly as possible. Eventually, its excellent service capabilities and nimbleness strengthened the business relationship with the client, and today, the team is offering turnkey engineering services, proving to be a trusted partner for the client.
