What is Fiber Optics?

  Fiber optics is the science of transmitting data, voice and images by the passage of light through thin, transparent fibers. These fibers virtually eliminate copper wire in long-distance telephone lines, and it is used to link computers within local area networks.

What is the necessary equipment?

CAT-5 cable wired for network
A network card (CAT-5 cable must be run from the PUD's box to the network card in your computer).

Once I sign up for service, what happens before I can get connected?

  Indicate Saddle Mountain Wireless as your ISP on GCPUD ZIPP Application.

Send in your signed and completed application. GCPUD crews attach a "gateway box" to your home, near you electric meter.

This box connects your home's wiring to our fiber network. The crews string fiber optic cable from the pole into the gateway enclosure, and then attach it into the gateway. The fiber is then spliced at the pole, and then spliced at the fiber "hub," which is the central fiber connection point for a neighborhood. The technicians "light" the fiber, turning on the laser and configuring our connection equipment to connect you to the Zipp Network. (After you are "lit," then you are ready to begin receiving services over the Zipp Network.)
