Optical Fibre Services
Whether you are using fibre in the long-haul, metro, or access network the quality
of the fibre, the engineering for usage, the placement, testing, certification and re-
certification is critical.
To many times fibre usage is designed inappropriately, installed improperly, and
tested only for attenuation. Each of these items – Engineering – Installation – test-
ing – has a significant impact on achieving the ROI for fibre.
Unicorn knows this and we use the latest standards when designing your fibre
plant, knowing that it is a 30 year investment. We install your fibre with only mech-
anised systems, fully documenting the tension applied during placement, whether
manually pulled or air blown we have a record by meter. Testing is key to achieving
your ROI with fibre. We test not only attenuation, but also bandwidth, lambdas and
dispersion.

renewable energies, primarily focusing on solar and wind.
Solar
Unicorn has developed solar photovoltaic (PV) and solar thermal technologies.
We are a leader in telecom solar applications, through detailed design, procure-
ments and construction for not only telecom industry, but also utilities and inde-
pendent power producers.
Wind
Unicorns wind project includes wind re-
source evaluation and production estimates,
review of advanced technologies, and project
development and implementation assistance.
Telecom Renewable Power Solutions
Whether BTS or Telecom PoPs, power is key
however in many locations the national power
grid does not adequately reach these remote
locations as well as the use of diesel generators as backup becomes very expensive.
Unicorn has developed many renewable energy solutions to address the need for
both primary and secondary power.

Power Delivery Systems
Unicorn provides integrated engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC)
services for transmission lines, substations, and distribution facilities. These servic-
es extend to independent transmission installations and those associated with new
power generation facilities.
Overhead Transmission: The impact of power outages is significant for our cli-
ents and ultimately the people who depend on that power in their everyday lives.
Transmission systems are being pushed to move more power, in the midst of in-
creasing reliability requirements and other operational needs, requiring creative so-
lutions for sitting, permitting, right-of-way acquisitions and project execution.
Underground Transmission: The power delivery industry continues to respond
to public pressures to find cost-effective alternatives to overhead transmission lines,
particularly in congested city streets and environmentally sensitive areas. The bal-
ance between delivering economical electric energy and addressing aesthetics and
the environment is delicate, and underground transmission may, in some cases,
provide the best solution.
New transmission and distribution infrastructure must be built to ensure electric
energy is reliably delivered. Construction resources, stringent budget requirements
and aggressive schedules pose a significant challenge for our clients who have con-
struction projects.
Unicorn is able to give our clients the confidence that we will meet their project
challenges with solutions that are on-time and on-budget.
Our services include:
• Transmission and Collector
Systems
• Underground Plant
• Aerial Plant
• Optical Power Ground Wire

• Service and Maintain
