186 187 centerline solutions was a small construction firm in Golden, Colorado. “When we got into the business, we knew that we wanted to vertically integrate - that’s one of our key things,” Little asserts. “Our goal is to be as high on the food chain as we possibly can, so we started with a construc- tion business and then recognized there are activities that happen above us and activities that hap- pen below us. One of our compa- ny’s central tenets is that we want to be all things wireless, so with aims of vertically integrating and controlling our own destiny, we acquired a small engineering firm.” With internal teams for both the construction and professional services as- pects of the wireless project cycle, project flow and quality were secured safely in Centerline’s grasp. From there, through both organic growth and strategic acquisitions,the companyworked its way up the value chain. “With our expertise proven,we nowhave direct contracts with themajor players in the industryandwe performwhat’s called‘turnkey services’,”says Little. “Thismeans we have the ability, with in-house staff,to complete an entire project fromdesign through site leasing/zoning and into construction andmaintenance. In controlling that entire value chain,we are confident in our ability to stay ahead of the curve and control our own destiny.” For Centerline Solutions that value chain in- cludes: RF Design Engineering, Site Acquisition & Entitlement, Regulatory Compliance,A&E Services, Full Cell Site Construction,Third Party Coordina- tion, Construction & Project Management,Net- work Optimization & Integration,Troubleshooting, and NetworkMaintenance.
