Installation and field services
Installation, coordinated and verified.
Envoy coordinates site surveys, equipment, qualified technicians and acceptance evidence—so a completed installation is a documented outcome, not a status update.
Physical completion and provider activation are tracked separately because they are different events.
Work we coordinate.
The scope determines the qualification, equipment and evidence required.

Installation is not activation.
The technician’s physical completion and the provider’s network activation are separate events. Envoy tracks both and does not report one as the other.
A completed visit does not prove service is active, and an active service does not prove the installation was accepted.
