Granite Grid
Granite Grid is the first telecommunications product to offer
management companies and their tenants a reliable one-stop-shop
solution. Granite Grid offers affordable voice and data services
along with a certified support team. Granite’s 24/7/365 specially-trained staff located at our Network Operations Center (NOC) on site at our headquarters
in Massachusetts sets us apart from similar products offered
by major Local Exchange Carriers (LECs) with call-center-styled hotlines. Granite Grid customers
are provided with a dedicated team that can be reached using
a direct line, a support email distribution or an online portal
where services are monitored and trouble tickets may be opened
and tracked directly by you.
Ease of connection and growth of technology is what continues
to attract businesses to the Granite Grid solution. Leave the physical
connection, troubleshooting and billing to us.

Technology Strategy
Granite’s private Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) network supports Granite Grid using high-speed fiber connectivity. The fiber piping is brought into the
property via the Main Distribution Frame (MDF) and then distributed
among tenants through specifically-assigned Intermediate Distribution
Frames (IDF). Phone and data service (based on customer need)
is run directly to the tenant suite by a certified Granite technician.
Our technicians ensure tenant satisfaction by connecting onsite
equipment and troubleshooting and securing connectivity.
It is our policy to always confirm that the turn up was successful working with you on your specific needs.
Whether it is two phones and
a credit card machine or ten cameras and a media center, Granite
Grid is fully customizable and continues to grow with the constant
introduction of new technologies.

Around-the-Clock Support: Our Network Operations Center (NOC), on-site
at our headquarters in Massachusetts, has certified technicians
waiting to take your call 24/7/365. Our NOC is staffed all year round,
including during severe weather, so that you're never waiting
for help when you need it.
-
Competitive Service Level Agreements (SLAs): Because Granite Grid is a privately-owned network,
Granite can offer very competitive install and repair SLAs.
Our escalation team is available to resolve any last-minute tenant
emergencies.
-
Redundancy Planning: Granite designs its Grid locations to preserve
your tenants' critical application connectivity in case of an
outage. Running two circuits through the Main Distribution Frame (MDF) and Intermediate Distribution Frames (IDFs) allows
both mall management and tenants to have the option of a second
circuit to provide failover service in the case of an outage.
Both circuits are managed and monitored by the Granite NOC to
ensure seamless service flow and proactive testing to maintain
a stable network environment.
Partner, Property Managers and Tenants
Tailored for Real Estate
Granite Grid is our product offering for multiple tenant locations.
We provide a total data and voice solution to businesses co-located
on the same property. Tenants receive the maximum flexibility they
require to support their communications needs at lower
costs.
Technology Strategy
Granite’s technology strategy for multiple tenant facilities begins
with our nationwide Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) network. Our Network Operations Center (NOC) monitors our network using the best tools in the
industry 24/7/365. Fiber will be used to connect Granite’s MPLS
Network to the Main Distribution Frame (MDF) at your property
and from the MDF to each Intermediate Distribution Frame (IDF)
on each floor. Granite’s Network Integration team will then coordinate
the installation of wiring from IDF to tenant.
