Rural FTTH broadband rollouts have increased in recent years, and novel solutions produced by DexGreen have played a crucial part in them.
Different installation methods are available to telecom operators. However, Aerial Fibre rollouts are a cost-effective method that can be deployed relatively quickly, resulting in a fairly easy means to connect subscribers.
Below are some key components to be considered in a deploying rural aerial fibre rollout:
- Fibre Cable (underground and overhead) – mechanical and environmental characteristics must be considered when specifying this. Key issues commonly faced include wind loading, fibre strain, adequate separation from legacy telecom networks (i.e. copper), or electricity infrastructure.
- Closures and Connectivity – flexibility to install both underground and overhead, accommodate both network build and customer connection and easy-to-follow work practices to ensure customer connections can be completed promptly.
- Aerial Brackets – Solutions that can be readily fitted quickly onto existing legacy telecom or electricity infrastructure. Furthermore, our products have designs built to provide adequate clearance from existing infrastructure.
- Cable clamps – We do extensive in-house testing to validate the cable and clamp solution according to the end user’s specifications. Various options can be tested and specified.
- Drop cable – Universal cable construction is suitable for underground and overhead use and is also available in multiple connectorised options according to end-user preferences. Novel packaging methods ensure these can be dispensed with ease.
