Today, CI Services is a division of the UniTek Family of Companies, built to support both new fiber deployments and network long-term operations, with consistent quality and accountability.
Full-Lifecycle Fiber. Built for Scale.
CI Services was built to handle the full range of what fiber construction and network operations demand, from outside plant construction and last-mile deployment to ongoing network maintenance and active network management.
Led by a senior team with over 75 combined years in the industry and more than $1 billion in completed fiber projects, the organization brings proven leadership to every build. That leadership drives the crew capacity and operational discipline needed to scale quickly and execute consistently across both metropolitan and rural environments.
As part of the UniTek Family of Companies, CI Services provides clients with a single, accountable partner for new construction programs and the ongoing support that keeps networks performing long after the build is complete.

CAPABILITIES
Construction-Led Fiber Solutions, Start to Finish
CI Services delivers a full suite of fiber construction and network operations services, continuously executing efficiently across diverse environments with a consistent focus on safety, quality, and schedule performance.
Outside Plant Fiber Construction
CI Services delivers end-to-end outside plant construction across urban and rural markets. Crews mobilize quickly, execute aerial and underground builds with consistency, and manage permitting, make-ready, and closeout as a single coordinated scope.
Network Operations & Maintenance
CI Services supports the ongoing health of active fiber networks through preventative maintenance and rapid-response call-out support. With crews already familiar with the infrastructure they maintain, CI Services delivers, more efficient troubleshooting, and fewer disruptions.
Drop Placement & Last-Mile Deployment
CI Services handles high-volume drop programs with the crew skill and organizational structure to maintain consistency across large deployments. From residential fiber drops to commercial on-premises connections, every installation is executed to the same standard.
Network Workflow Management
Beyond field construction, CI Services manages high-volume workflows for active communications networks, reducing pending work backlogs, improving closeout timelines, and keeping network operations running efficiently. This operational layer helps clients maximize take rates and maintain network performance over time.
MDU Services
Multi-dwelling unit deployments present unique coordination and access challenges. CI Services manages the full scope of MDU fiber construction, including inside wiring, unit connections, and building-level infrastructure, with the operational discipline that high-density residential and mixed-use properties require.
Central Office & Network Support
CI Services provides central office support and proactive network monitoring, ensuring that the infrastructure behind the network is as reliable as the fiber in the ground. These capabilities allow CI Services to serve as a long-term operations partner, not just a construction contractor.
