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

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

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