We are Just Getting Started View Portfolio About Us Serving our industry for over 20 years -- The primary mission of Rainbow Design Services is to provide our customers with products and services that are consistently equal to or better than the high standards we set for ourselves, while ensuring that our employees are constantly motivated and trained to meet the ever-changing needs in our business. + History Rainbow Design Services is a privately-owned company founded by Jeff Mardis and located in Louisville, Kentucky. Jeff got his start in early 1994 in Paris, Tennessee, where he began utilizing his extensive background in cable television in order to do CATV design for other larger regional contractors. In late 1995, Jeff made a family decision to return to his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky. Reluctant to work under another MSO, Jeff took a chance and leveraged his knowledge of cable television into what would ultimately become a long-standing career in the TeleCom industry. Although very difficult at times, he quickly realized that in order to establish long-term security for the company, he would have to procure work directly from his customers – initially, MSOs – and offer a competitive, broader range of services. Jeff’s dedication paid off. In April of 1996, Rainbow Design Services secured its first contract with Viacom Cable of Nashville in the midst of their 750MHz rebuild. Facing aggressive deadlines and dissatisfaction with their current contractor, Viacom hired Rainbow for the project. Our design team was able to finish the final 1100 miles of design within some very tight time constraints. As the Nashville project was nearing completion, InterMedia Partners, which owned the surrounding systems, purchased Viacom. This led to additional work in the Middle Tennessee region. + Culture At Rainbow Design Services, we believe we have a duty to be good corporate citizens. Whether it’s through contributing to a nationally-recognized charity or organizing a local food drive, we are committed to being involved and giving back to our community. Revolutionizing Network Engineering. Revolutionizing GIS Software Products. Our Services Data Construction/Network Mapping We are experts in the use of most industry standard CAD, Mapping, Engineering & GIS software products for data construction and network mapping documentation and services. × Data Construction/Network Mapping We specialize in data construction & network mapping for OSP Fiber, RF, HFC, and Inside Plant Networks, as well as delivering customized GIS & engineering services related to these assets. Everything we do is formatted in a GIS (mapping) context, and thus delivered in most any standard CAD/GIS format. Outside Plant Design Outside Plant Design is the core of our business. We are leaders in the industry when it comes to designing efficient and cost-effective project prints in various platforms and architectures. × Outside Plant Design Our customers are the number one priority at Rainbow Design Services. Whether you have coax/fiber HFC, FTTx, EPON, Wifi, or other types of design work, let us help your company create a solid network. At Rainbow, our experienced design team keeps quality and turnaround times at the forefront when completing each project. Designers at Rainbow are fluent in many different design platforms. Our team is constantly trained on changes in the industry, and taught to complete projects with even higher standards than those set by our customers. Inside Plant Documentation Rainbow Design Services has extensive experience in helping customers in the MSO market with documenting Cable headends & Inside Plant infrastructures. × Inside Plant Documentation Inside Plant documentation service can be provided stand-alone, or integrated with maps and GIS data for Outside Plant cabling. The absolute BEST return on investment from a GIS/Engineering system is to have a FULLY modeled network in a common platform – from the very first port on the first device in your headend, throughout all distribution fibers and relating cables, to the final delivery point of the last customer. Rainbow Design can make this easy and affordable. Whether your team has a fully modeled OSP or not, the Inside Plant documentation services we provide will enable your team to identify every port, every device, every connection – including their physical location (slot, rack, row, room), and all inbound and outbound connectivity of each and every location we inventory. Our solution provides your team with the ability to measure and plan for power, heating and cooling, space, weight, as well as considerations relative to potential upgrades, moves and testing scenarios. Desktop and Field Surveys We offer a variety of services for verifying and locating current network availability. Commercial/Residential desktop surveys, field verifications, and field surveys (audits) are all a main focus of our business. × Desktop and Field Surveys Commercial/Business surveys are fast and affordable field surveys which determine what will be needed to connect a potential business customer, Business Park, or commercial MDU. This option is provided for both fiber and coaxial service types. We have options available for more economic desktop-only surveys which utilize Google Earth (among other resources)to target the address(es). Residential surveys can also be completed to determine what would be needed to connect a potential residential customer, housing edition, or residential MDU. A more economic desktop-only option using computer resources to target the address is also available for these types of surveys. A field survey is a true “walkout” of your HFC plant; it involves the comprehensive documentation of all coax and/or fiber plant. We document the poles, pedestals, footages, house counts, addresses, all passings (residential and commercial), and all existing electronics. Central to this service is the creation of fresh new road-base maps over which the survey is documented. GPS coordinate records of all facilities is an option as well. Wireless Applications We provide a multitude of services for the Wireless community. We are experts in cell sites, backhaul, core transport networks, and wifi tap designs among others. × Wireless Applications Cell site survey and documentation, backhaul and connectivity design and estimation, core transport network design & implementation, site upgrade services (including project management and installation), wifi tap designs, testing and certification: these are among the various wireless applications offered by Rainbow Design Services. Ask yourself the following questions. If your answer is “yes,” then we would like to assist your wireless needs. - Are you a Wireless Carrier with many cell sites potentially in need of upgrade? - Have you deployed site survey teams before, but failed to retain site detail records? - Are you a service provider with wireless carriers in your area needing backhaul connectivity? - Are you a service provider looking to diversify with new wireless technologies?
