Preparing for Your Installation: What to Expect

Trailblazer Broadband Installation Process

Our team is working hard to build out the infrastructure for Trailblazer Broadband. Here is everything you need to know about the installation process when it comes to providing our new high-speed internet service to your home or business.

Watch our Installation video to learn more. 

Step by step guide of the Trailblazer Broadband installation process

Standard Installations generally follow your existing power lines-either Overhead or Underground.

Exterior pre-installation occurs between the time you sign up for service and your scheduled interior installation.

Step 1. For Overhead Installation

Note: Drawings are not to scale.

The fiber will be connected from the terminal to your residence by following your existing overhead power feed. Overhead exterior installation will occur the same day as your in-home installation.
Please move any obstacles that may be obstructing the path from the curb to your home, e.g., vehicles, RVs, planters, etc.

Step 1. For Underground Installation

Note: Drawings are not to scale.

If installation is happening underground, expect locates from Utilities in your area, marked by flags or paint in your area. Different colors of markings, denote the type of utility buried there.
Please move any obstacles that may be obstructing the path from the curb to your home, e.g., vehicles, RVs, planters, etc.

The fiber will be connected from the terminal to your residence by following your existing underground power feed. When underground trenching is needed, crews will utilize the least invasive trenching methods and will repair/restore the trenched areas.

Step 2. Inside Installation

You will need to be home for your interior installation.

Although it is possible to designate someone to be present for installation on your behalf, we highly recommend that you be present yourself. You or the person you designate will be asked to sign off that the installation has been completed to your satisfaction at that time. If you require changes or an additional service call after installation, additional charges will apply.

Note: Drawings are not to scale.

Interior Installation will require drilling a small hole on the exterior of the home to the interior.
A junction box will be mounted to the exterior and fiber will run through a wall plate on the interior. This line will connect directly to your Gateway.

Installers will work with you to determine the location the fiber will enter your home and where your equipment will be located.

Step 3. Equipment Placement & Connection

Our installers will help you decide the best placement of your equipment for optimal performance, which will likely be:

Note: Drawings are not to scale.

At least 3 feet away from any appliances or wireless devices that may cause interference (e.g. microwaves, baby monitors, etc.)
Where you use your internet most.
Near an electrical outlet.
On the main or ground level of your home (Note: additional Beacons are recommended for multi-level or large homes)

Upon completion, installers will ensure that your internet is working properly.

Step 4. Enjoy Trailblazer Broadband

When Will Service Be Available?

Service will be built out over the next 3 to 5 years beginning the fall of 2019. The initial phase will take advantage of Estes Park Power & Communications’ smart grid fiber-optic infrastructure, which already exists in specific neighborhoods and is currently under construction in others.

Fill out the interest form to receive broadband updates.

By registering, you will also be one of the first to receive notice of service when it is available in your area.
