The “Installation-Distancing” Network Solution

As the COVID Pandemic lingers, how to continue with “business as usual” becomes more and more challenging.  When it comes to installing fiber optic networks, whether new installs or making changes to existing networks pause is needed to consider how to do so safely.

 

Sumitomo Electric’s Air Blown Fiber (ABF) Solution, while having been around for decades, was designed for such a time as this.

 

The ABF solution offers a number of advantages for all stages of network installations and changes.  Three of those advantages; minimal installers needed, quick installations and no disruption to active work environment are exactly the type of advantages that make it an ideal and safe choice for todays network builds.

  • Install fiber with only two installers sufficiently distanced as opposed to conventional installations that use 4 or more people close together
  • No disruption to active working area
  • Minimal intrusion of installation contractors
  • Fast installations in minutes vs conventional taking hours or days
  • No noticeable construction debris/messes to contend with in an already pandemic challenged environment
