OUR SERVICES / FIBRE INFRASTRUCTURE
Every connection.
Considered.
From the first route to the care that follows. Planning, protection and maintenance for the physical fibre networks that keep people connected.
At every stage of the network.

Protective ducts.
Fibre cables are laid inside installed ducts, creating an underground pathway for the connection.

PROTECT THE PHYSICAL NETWORK
Give prevention
the first move.
A disruption on the ground can become a disruption to the connection.
Third-party damage and vandalism can interrupt fibre networks, with costs continuing until service is restored. Our network security approach centres on preventative measures and prioritising resources in high-risk areas.
The aim is practical: help minimise unplanned network failure and support the continuity of your fibre infrastructure.

FIBRE OPTIC NETWORK PLANNING
BEFORE THE FIRST CONNECTION
A clear route.
A considered network.
Fibre network design brings communication needs, geography, equipment and infrastructure into one plan. Explore the four considerations behind it.
Start with what the network needs to carry.
Determine the type of communication system that will operate over the fibre network. Its requirements provide the starting point for the design.
Give the network a considered route.
Consider the geographic layout: where the network will run and how its connections fit together. A clear layout helps shape the installation.
Bring the components into the plan.
Identify the equipment required for the communication system and the proposed layout, so the network design accounts for what it needs to operate.
Connect the design to the infrastructure.
Plan the fibre network over which the system will operate, bringing the communication needs, geographic layout and required equipment together.

CARE IN THE DETAILSPREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
Care that continues.LOOK BEYOND THE NEXT REPAIR
More care.
Less disruption.
A lasting network needs attention before something goes wrong.
Preventative maintenance helps lower the risk of infrastructure failure and unplanned downtime. It is an investment in the care of the physical network, the people working around it and the service it supports.

THE CONNECTION BENEATH YOUR FEET
Below the surface.
Built to connect.
From excavation to reinstatement, trenched fibre installation brings the network underground. Explore how the route comes together.
Fibre infrastructure. Below the surface.
Prepare the route.
Excavation creates the underground route for the fibre infrastructure. Depending on the route, this can include sidewalks, driveways and curbs.
Give the cable its pathway.
Protective ducts are installed along the excavated route, creating the underground pathway into which the fibre cables will be laid.
Lay the fibre. Check the connection.
Fibre cables are laid in the installed ducts. Once the cables are installed, they are tested before the work proceeds to reinstatement.
Complete the work above ground.
After installation and testing, the excavated areas are reinstated to their previous condition. The fibre infrastructure remains below the surface.
