Revolutionising Fibre Installations: New Techniques for FTTH Deployment

Streamlining Last Mile Connectivity with Advanced Installation Methods

The demand for high-speed, reliable internet access is rapidly increasing, underscoring the need for innovative solutions in fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) network deployments. Additionally, the telecommunications industry continues to look for ways to not only speed up deployment of FTTH networks to enable them to be more accessible to millions of people worldwide. This is not just an issue of speed of deployment– the current methods of fibre installations involve levels of complexity at the last mile that require training and specialised, expensive equipment that needs to be maintained.

Recent advancements are transforming this landscape by introducing new mechanical ways of pushing fibre cables over very long distances without requiring major manpower or machinery. These new techniques drastically reduce the physical and environmental impact of installations. Moreover, the widespread deployment of pre-connectorised fibre cables is another contributing factor to expediting deployment timelines. These cables come connectorised and ready to plug in, with no need for on-site splicing, this significantly reduces both the time needed to deploy and the level of skill required of the field operators.

These innovations are making FTTH networks more scalable and efficient to operate, enabling faster and more cost-effective network expansions to keep up with increasing demand for high-speed broadband and to connect more communities to reliable internet access.

Among these innovations, Emtelle’s new REVOLink3, a versatile 3-in-One drop cable, paired with the DropDrive™ pushing machine, exemplifies the simplified and flexible deployment options now available to telecom operators. This combination significantly enhances the pace and ease of network installations, transforming the landscape of telecommunications infrastructure development. 

The efforts to simplify and expedite the fibre installation process represent a significant technological leap in FTTH infrastructure. By incorporating these new techniques, the industry is setting new standards that enhance the efficiency and significantly streamline the installation process, making it accessible and straightforward for a broader range of operators.
