What you get
Engineering deliverables built to your standards and your platform, from first route to closeout.
Underground route design
Conduit, bore, and trench paths with handhole and vault placement.
FTTx / FTTH design
Feeder and distribution layouts that get service from the hub to the home.
Construction prints
Clear route prints and splice details that field crews can build without calling back.
As-builts and closeout
GIS-ready as-built records that match what's in the ground, so segments get accepted.
Cell tower backhaul
CTBH fiber design connecting tower sites back to the network.
GIS records and audits
Fiber asset documentation and database audits that reconcile your records with legacy files.
Design QC and review
Independent review of vendor and partner designs before they go to construction.
Coax and RF design
Hybrid fiber-coax mapping and design for cable operators.
How a project runs
You deal with the engineer doing the work from start to finish.
Scope
You send the project area, records, and your design standards.
Design
Field and records data become a route and design in your platform.
Check
Every sheet is reviewed against your standards before it leaves.
Deliver
Prints, as-builts, and revisions turned around on your schedule.
Omar Al-Fayyadh
Founder and principal engineer
Omar has designed outside plant fiber for more than 15 years, at Verizon, at Rainbow Design Services, and through TDS on projects nationwide. He also built and ran an internet service provider, so he designs with the operator's view of the network in mind.
He holds a B.S. in Civil Engineering and works fluently in English and Arabic.

A TDS product
HydraNexus: six detectors, one verdict.
An AI threat detection platform for MSSPs and SOC teams. Six specialized heads analyze every event in parallel, one of them arguing against the rest, and an Arbiter combines them into a single verdict with the reasoning written out.
Built for the problem every SOC knows: too many alerts, too little explanation. Verdicts are tied to the evidence behind them, mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, and come with a response playbook, so analysts spend time acting instead of guessing.

PROT
ProtocolAnalyzes protocol and network behavior.
BEHV
BehaviorAsks whether the activity pattern is normal or not.
TACT
TacticsIdentifies attacker tactics and maps them to MITRE ATT&CK.
FORN
ForensicsEstablishes what the artifacts actually prove.
NERV
EndpointWeighs process, Sysmon/EDR, and host-level telemetry.
CHAL
ChallengerArgues against the other five to stress-test every verdict.
Evidence-bound confidence
Confidence is capped by evidence quality. Thin evidence gets an honest "insufficient evidence" verdict instead of a guess.
MITRE ATT&CK and playbooks
Every verdict carries its tactic and technique, plus prioritized containment and remediation steps.
Bring your own AI
Run on Anthropic, OpenAI, or a fully air-gapped local model, configured per tenant.
Security consulting from the same engineer
The network you build is the network someone will try to break into. Alongside engineering, Omar offers cloud security and security architecture reviews, backed by graduate study and hands-on platform work.
