Fiber is a futureproofed technology that can adapt with innovative breakthroughs, according to Mike Janssen, a senior manager of sales and engineering at Quantum Fiber.
Janssen, who appeared on a recent episode of Beyond the Cable, said fiber remains attractive to multifamily property owners because it doesn’t need replacing once its installed.
“It’s a great investment, it increases your property value,” Janssen said.
Over his 25-year career, Janssen said he’s seen technologies come and go, but fiber has remained steadfast.
In his current role, Janssen said Quantum Fiber works hard at creating lasting partnerships with developers, builders, consultants, and other stakeholders.
As a sales engineer, Janssen said his team is responsible for pre-planning work. He’s also partly responsible for communicating with customers and trying to understand technical requirements.
The end result of his work is a tailored solution, designed to fit the needs of individual properties and developments.
Janssen said he also collaborates very closely with implementation teams at Quantum Fiber.
Once a project is completed, Quantum Fiber field operations team steps in to manage the assets and ensure customers remain happy.
“They’re kind of that one stop shop for all things once that building’s up and going,” he said.
