Installation Methods
What is Façade Installation for Fiber Optic Networks?
Façade installation involves the strategic embedding of fiber optic cables within the exterior surfaces of buildings, seamlessly weaving digital connectivity into the fabric of urban landscapes. Unlike traditional methods that require extensive trenching and disruptive construction, façade installation offers a refined solution that minimizes visual disruption while maximizing network coverage.

Why choose façade installation?
For speed of deployment and ease of access to end-users, Façade installation is often one of the quickest methods of passing homes. Particular benefits are sought in dense urban environments where it is difficult to deploy fiber underground due to restrictions on permitting, historic restrictions on digging, or shallow utilities.
Deploying FTTH networks often faces delays, disruptions, and extra costs from permits, traffic closures, blocked ducts, and labor shortages. Homes Passed Plus avoids these issues by pre-installing fiber at the home boundary from day one, enabling faster, hassle-free connections.
