(TCO). No one understands this better than
Unicorn or works harder to be our clients “go

5. OPTICAL FIBRE ENGINEERING | CONSTRUCTION | PROGRAM MANAGEMENT | OPERATE
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 – testing –
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 mechanised
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.

11. RENEWABLE POWER ENGINEERING | CONSTRUCTION | PROGRAM MANAGEMENT | OPERATE
Renewable Power Services
Renewable Energy Strategy & Planning
Unicorn has completed a number of
comprehensive studies and project
evaluating 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, procurements,
and construction for not only telecom
industry, but also utilities and independent
power producers.
Wind
Unicorns wind project includes wind
resource 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.
Our contract mechanisms are:
• Fixed Sum Turnkey
• Engineering, Furnish, & Installation (EF&I)

12. POWER DELIVERY ENGINEERING | CONSTRUCTION | PROGRAM MANAGEMENT | OPERATE
Power Delivery Systems
Unicorn provides integrated engineering,
procurement, and construction (EPC)
services for transmission lines, substations,
and distribution facilities. These services
extend to independent transmission
installations and those associated with new
power generation facilities.
Overhead Transmission: The impact of
power outages is significant for our clients
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 increasing
reliability requirements and other operational
needs, requiring creative solutions 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 balance
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
construction 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
o Underground Plant
o Aerial Plant
• Optical Power Ground Wire (OPGW)

13. SERVICE AND MAINTAIN
Service and Maintain
Service and Maintain is a good entry point for companies new to outsourcing.
With Service & Maintain contracts companies maintain the asset however

elements. Service & Maintain contracts can be a single network element or
the whole network infrastructure.
Unicorn offers a comprehensive selection of Service & Maintain offerings.
Whether you wish to offload the day-on-day servicing, maintenance, and
growth of your outside plant, cabling infrastructure, or wireless network
elements we have a solution.
Our offering will allow you to ensure your OSP, Cabling, or Wireless
infrastructure is being constantly maintained, when required – emergency
repairs accomplished, and as your needs grow, a single focal point with
consistent standards and quality for the design and build to meet that need.
