We negotiate aggressively, but with integrity, all the while keeping a close eye on our client's schedule and budgetary goals. Leveraging our experience, reputation and relationships with landlords and tower owners, we are constantly striving to improve our turnaround time for deliverables.
Land Use and Permitting
As permitting regulations become more restrictive, wireless carriers must anticipate these regulatory changes and incorporate them into their designs.
Success in wireless development today depends upon selecting the right site - that best achieves the wireless carrier's goals and complies with local community regulations.
RealCom recognizes the importance of employing skilled land use planners with local knowledge. Not only do we obtain quick approvals for a successful build-out, we build partnerships of trust between our clients and the communities they serve.
Construction Management
At RealCom we know how critical construction is to meeting our clients' goals of hitting project completion deadlines and avoiding delays and cost overruns. A highly skilled and experienced Construction Manager can save time, money and aggravation for our clients. Our Construction Managers understand the client's need and take ownership and accountability for each of their projects.
In addition to being involved with every facet of the construction process, our Construction Managers have an extensive background working with each of the major carriers and vendors and are well regarded throughout the wireless industry. This in turn has created an environment where our clients collaborate with RealCom to create and improve upon their existing tools, processes and procedures.

Technical Installation, Integration and Optimization
RealCom provides full turn-key technical services related to new builds, growth, operations and maintenance, site relocations, tower audits, quality control punch walks, power upgrades, and antenna modifications.
Our Technical Project Management team has the expertise and experience to accommodate any project that is presented to them.

Having worked directly for and with the carrier we're able to collaborate well with the client to customize solutions based on their needs. When RealCom's clients have a particularly challenging technical issue or project, they think of RealCom first.
Audit and Due Diligence Services
Through RealCom's management and quality assurance programs for its tower clients, they have confirmed what most intuitively understand what is built does not necessarily match what was approved.
Our clients must know what equipment is at a site (in the compound or on the tower). And their documentation must also match.
As a result, periodic site audits coupled with documentation updates are required. RealCom's site development and property management experience helps it accurately and efficiently identify both inconsistencies and value added improvements.
Governmental Relations
One of the most challenging areas of development, especially in the wireless industry, is meeting and/or exceeding target dates as they relate to zoning and building permit approvals. Increased governmental regulation and an ever-changing political environment threaten wireless carriers ability to deploy their network in a timely and cost effective manner. Therefore, it is essential that wireless carriers stay connected and involved in the ever altering world of local and state government.
RealCom's experienced professionals monitor the trends and changes in the telecommunications world and use this data to increase local government's understanding and knowledge. They act as facilitators to craft new zoning codes, rewrite old codes and interpret existing codes. RealCom also partners with our clients to establish public and private sector workshops and community events aimed at educating the public, addressing community concerns and expediting the deployment of our customer's networks. Our main goal is to build long-term relationships that will assist in ensuring the jurisdictional rules, regulations and requirements are more reasonable and will in turn assist in expediting our client's proposals.
DAS Deployment
RealCom has deployed some of the largest and most extensive Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) in the Pacific Northwest, including an outdoor system which consisted of more than fifty nodes, 40 miles of fiber and two hubs. RealCom takes a value added, consultative approach to developing a DAS system by focusing on upfront planning and strategizing to streamline the development process. By educating and working with the venue owner, utility or jurisdiction, RealCom's experts can remove roadblocks before they occur.
RealCom's DAS services include the following: government relations and education, project management, leasing and right of way acquisition, permitting, construction management, vendor selection and qualification, commissioning, testing, integration and optimization.
