Field Service Assessments, Audits and Surveys

Know your network, end to end. Mercury Z delivers high-accuracy field assessments, audits, and surveys that bring clarity to your infrastructure. From route validation and equipment audits to site condition checks, our nationwide teams gather the data you need to plan, deploy, and optimize with confidence. Every report is built for action—fast, verified, and ready to drive decisions.

Pole Attachment Audits

reliable fiber optic and coaxial cable installations

Mercury Z specializes in providing precise and reliable fiber optic and coaxial cable installations, which are often integral components in pole attachment audits.

Our services support these audits by:

Infrastructure Deployment: Installing fiber optic and coaxial cables that may be part of the attachments being audited.
System Upgrades: Assisting in upgrading existing infrastructure to meet current standards and requirements.
Network Restoration: Providing support in restoring connectivity during or after audit processes.

While Mercury Z does not conduct the audits themselves, our expertise in network infrastructure ensures that the systems being audited are up-to-date, compliant, and capable of supporting modern communication needs.

Route Assessments

speed, accessibility, and long-term sustainability.

Our route assessments offer a ground-level perspective on fiber, coax, or wireless network expansion. Mercury Z technicians meticulously evaluate potential paths for infrastructure deployment, identifying physical, regulatory, and environmental constraints. We ensure every route is optimized for cost, speed, accessibility, and long-term sustainability.

Deliverables include:

On-site surveys with photographic documentation
Right-of-way and easement validation
Obstacle and hazard identification
Optimized routing recommendations

Pathway Assessments

enabling you to proceed with confidence and efficiency.

Before any cable is pulled or trench is dug, Mercury Z’s pathway assessments verify the viability of your underground and aerial paths. We assess conduit occupancy, structural capacity, accessibility, and permitting challenges, enabling you to proceed with confidence and efficiency.

Key insights include:

Conduit fill ratios and availability
Integrity and suitability of ducts, handholes, and vaults
Compliance with local codes and construction standards
Feasibility analysis for re-use or upgrade of existing pathways

Pole LiDAR Collection and Assessments

delivering unparalleled accuracy

Using state-of-the-art LiDAR scanning, Mercury Z captures high-resolution 3D data of utility poles, delivering unparalleled accuracy for attachment planning and make-ready engineering. Our Pole Assessments reduce field rework, support faster permitting, and mitigate utility rejection risks.

Assessment highlights:

Pole ownership verification
Pole height, clearance, and loading measurements
Attachment inventory and space availability
Recommendations for remediation or reinforcement

Mercury Z ensures your network is not just functional—but fully optimized for business success.

Decommissioning Assessments

secure, efficient transitions at every step.

Retiring network infrastructure requires precision and foresight. Our Decommissioning Assessments expertly evaluate and verify the readiness of your network components for secure removal from service. This vital process guarantees a smooth, risk-averse transition, actively minimizing disruptions and safeguarding against data vulnerabilities or operational risks associated with equipment retirement. Trust Mercury Z to handle your network’s end-of-life with the same diligence we apply to its optimization.

Retiring network equipment shouldn’t put your operations at risk. Mercury Z ensures secure, efficient transitions at every step.

What We Provide:

Comprehensive Readiness Evaluation
Assess infrastructure to confirm components are safe and appropriate for removal.
Risk Mitigation Planning
Identify and prevent potential disruptions during the decommissioning process.
Data Security Assurance
Safeguard sensitive information from exposure or loss during equipment retirement.
Minimal Operational Downtime
Ensure a smooth, controlled transition with minimal business impact.

Why It Matters:

Avoid service interruptions
Prevent data breaches
Maintain operational continuity

Mercury Z brings the same precision to network retirement as we do to deployment—because every lifecycle stage matters.

Network Audits

Reveal the Truth Behind Your Infrastructure.

Mercury Z’s Network Audit is a strategic deep dive into your IT environment. We perform a full-spectrum analysis to uncover inefficiencies, misconfigurations, and vulnerabilities—then provide you with actionable insights that drive smarter decision-making.

What We Deliver:

Full hardware & software inventory
Security & compliance checks (HIPAA, PCI, etc.)
Configuration analysis and optimization
Detailed reporting with risk prioritization

Outcome: A network that’s not just understood—but aligned, secure, and scalable.

Network Testing

Prove Your Network Can Perform—Before It Has To.

Our Network Testing solutions are designed to validate the performance, resilience, and security of your network infrastructure under real-world conditions.

Our Approach Includes:

Performance metrics (latency, jitter, packet loss, bandwidth)
Load and stress testing under peak demand
Penetration testing to expose weaknesses
Fault tolerance and failover evaluation

Result: A network that’s fast, resilient, and built for uninterrupted business.
