Fibre Deployment Services

Our Fibre Deployment Services encompass essential activities for the installation and maintenance of fibre optic networks. Each component plays a critical role in ensuring a successful deployment.

1. Surveying

We begin with surveying, which involves assessing the geographical area to determine optimal routes for fibre optic cables. This includes:

• Site Analysis: Evaluating the terrain, existing infrastructure, and potential obstacles like buildings, trees, or roads.
• Mapping: Creating detailed maps that indicate where the fibre will be laid, including manholes and cabinets.
• Feasibility Studies: Reviewing regulatory requirements and assisting in obtaining permits from local authorities.

2. Trenching

We perform trenching, which involves digging narrow excavations in the ground for installing underground fibre optic cables. This step is crucial for protecting the cables from environmental factors and physical damage. Key aspects include:

• Excavation: Using heavy machinery to create trenches of appropriate depth and width, typically 18 to 36 inches deep.
• Soil Management: Properly managing the excavated soil for backfilling after installation.
• Safety Protocols: Implementing safety measures to protect our workers and the public.

3. Cable Blowing

We utilize cable blowing, a method for installing fibre optic cables into pre-installed conduits or ducts without damage. This process includes:

• Equipment Setup: Utilizing specialized blowing machines that propel the fibre optic cable through the ducts using compressed air.
• Efficiency: This method allows us to complete installations more quickly and reduces the risk of damage compared to traditional pulling methods.
• Monitoring: Ensuring that the cables are properly seated and free of kinks or damage during the blowing process.

4. Thrust Boring

We employ thrust boring, a trenchless method for installing underground infrastructure, particularly useful in areas where traditional trenching is not feasible. This involves:

• Boring Machine: Using a thrust boring machine to create a borehole while simultaneously installing the fibre optic cable.
• Minimal Disruption: This method minimizes surface disruption, making it ideal for urban areas.
• Accuracy: Ensuring precise placement of cables at required depths to reduce the risk of accidental damage to existing utilities.

5. Installation of Precast Manholes

We install precast manholes, which serve as access points for maintenance and management of fibre optic networks. Our process includes:

• Selection of Manholes: Choosing precast manholes that meet industry standards for size and durability.
• Excavation and Placement: Digging holes for manholes and ensuring they are level and secure.
• Sealing and Testing: Sealing joints to prevent water ingress and testing for structural integrity.

6. Installation of Outdoor Cabinets and Construction of Plinths at Base Stations

We install outdoor cabinets that house vital network equipment. This process includes:

• Plinth Construction: Building sturdy plinths to support the cabinets, ensuring they are level and capable of withstanding environmental conditions.
• Cabinet Installation: Securing cabinets to the plinths, ensuring proper ventilation and access for maintenance.
• Electrical and Connectivity Setup: Connecting power and communication lines to the cabinets to ensure they are operational.

7. Installations of Cabinets and Trunking Inside Customer Premises

Inside customer premises, we focus on the installation of cabinets and trunking to manage fibre connections. This includes:

• Site Preparation: Assessing the interior layout to determine optimal locations for cabinets and trunking.
• Cabinet Installation: Mounting cabinets securely to walls or floors for easy access.
• Trunking Installation: Installing trunking systems to organize and protect fibre cables within the premises.

8. Installing Fibre Underground and Overhead (Both MPLS and GPON Networks)

In the final step, we install fibre optic cables, either underground or overhead, based on network requirements:

• Underground Installation: Laying cables in prepared trenches or conduits, ensuring proper splicing and termination.
• Overhead Installation: Installing cables on poles or towers using appropriate hardware to secure them against environmental factors.
• Network Types:
  • MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching): We implement this method to speed up network traffic flow and manage bandwidth efficiently.
  • GPON (Gigabit Passive Optical Network): We utilize this architecture to allow for high-speed internet access, supporting multiple users through a single fibre connection.

Each of our services is vital for ensuring reliable, efficient, and high-quality connectivity for our users.
