Audit Services
At FCi, we specialize in providing comprehensive telecommunications and infrastructure audit services that help organizations across Ottawa understand, document, and optimize their network environments. Whether you’re expanding, troubleshooting, or planning a retrofit, our detailed audit process delivers the clarity you need to move forward with confidence.
Our experienced team conducts meticulous on-site inspections of your existing cable plants (both inside and outside), network equipment, and supporting telecommunications infrastructure, including grounding and lighting systems. We ensure that nothing is overlooked.
What Are Audit Services?
Telecommunications and network audit services are structured assessments of your current infrastructure. At FCi, we evaluate everything from cable types and layout to network hardware, PoE lighting systems, telecommunications grounding, and data center configurations.
Each audit includes:
- Identification of installed cabling types (fiber, copper, coax, shielded)
- Test results using industry-standard equipment, delivered in LinkWare and PDF formats
- Floor plans, cabinet layouts, and patch panel identification
- Inspection of fire-stopping measures and cable fill ratios
- Documentation of abandoned or improperly labelled cabling
- AutoCAD and PDF drawings for future planning
This critical information helps ensure your systems are optimized, safe, and future-ready.
