– the optimal FttX solution<br />
Easier, quicker, more effi cient and extremely fl exible<br />
Air blown fi bre (as used by <strong>Emtelle</strong>’s technology) is an<br />
integral part of FttX solutions. The strain-free method of<br />
installing fi bre optic cables and fi bre units in microducts relies on the<br />
fl ow of compressed air passing over the entire length of the cable to<br />
create a fl uid drag, which gently carries the cable down the microduct.<br />
In addition, a set of rollers or a caterpillar drive typically pushes the fi bre<br />
optic product into the microduct.<br />
Suitable for numerous applications and customers, air blown fi bre has<br />
become the preferred installation method for those who value reliability,<br />
cost-effectiveness and fl exibility. The development of air blown fi bre<br />
has revolutionised the design of fi bre optic products, resulting in a new<br />
generation of minicables that take up less room and need no heavy<br />
reinforcement. In addition, these developments have reduced the costs<br />
of the fi bre products and the microducts into which they are installed.<br />
<strong>Emtelle</strong>’s air blown fi bre system is suitable for a wide<br />
range of applications, including:<br />
• Fibre-to-the-Home<br />
• Multiple Dwelling Units (MDU)<br />
• In-Building<br />
• Fibre-to-the-Curb/Node<br />
• Campus/Business Park<br />
• Mobile Telephone Mast Connections<br />
• City/Metropolitan<br />
• Long-Distance<br />
• Telemetry and Intelligent Transport systems<br />
This diversity of applications is constantly growing, driven by the<br />
tremendous fl exibility of and its ability to deliver scalable<br />
and reliable end-to-end solutions that fi nancially benefi t the network<br />
operator and investor. To explore the benefi ts of in greater<br />
detail, let’s focus on two applications where FttX technology is gaining<br />
ground worldwide:<br />
Multiple Dwelling Units (MDU)<br />
MDUs are becoming an increasingly large market segment for broadband<br />
services. In the USA, 25% of people live in MDUs; in Europe, the fi gure<br />
is 50%; in Latin America and Asia, more than 75%. Worldwide, there are<br />
currently 670 million MDU-based living units, a number that will only<br />
rise as populations migrate to urban areas. As well as encompassing<br />
a large array of building sizes and architectures, MDUs also involve a<br />
diverse group of stakeholders, including investors, operators, customers,<br />
installers and homeowners. Some of these groups will largely have<br />
shared priorities. For example, investors and operators will be looking<br />
for a broadband network that can: maximise revenues; minimise initial<br />
capital expenses and ongoing operating expenses. Installers will be more<br />
interested in the ease with which the infrastructure can be set in place,<br />

modifi ed, maintained and expanded. And customers and homeowners<br />
will certainly want shorter installation times, minimal intrusion, solid<br />
safety assurances and aesthetically pleasing solutions. Uniquely among<br />
FttX technologies, <strong>Emtelle</strong>’s solution addresses every one<br />
of these issues, ensuring that the best interests of all stakeholders are –<br />
and continue to be – met.<br />

Telemetry<br />
Telemetry involves the long-distance monitoring and management of<br />
equipment used in, for example, wind farms and oil and gas pipelines.<br />
Its many benefi ts include improved security, faster response times, the<br />
more effi cient use of personnel, safer working conditions, minimal<br />
escape of harmful substances, and maximum effi ciency. <strong>Emtelle</strong>’s<br />
solution is ideally suited for telemetry applications.<br />
For one, optical fi bre can easily handle telemetry’s high-bandwidth<br />
demands, maximising network uptime and reliability, and reducing<br />
the need for the auxiliary power cables required for signal boosting.<br />
And thanks to new trenching technologies, network components can<br />
be in the ground much more quickly – a vital characteristic in these<br />
often time-critical applications. In addition, a recent report 1 showed<br />
that the long-term costs of Direct Buried Duct technology – as used<br />
with – were decidedly lower than other installation<br />
methods, taking into consideration the initial investment as well as<br />
events that happen over the network’s lifetime.<br />
