Nexans, a worldwide expert in the cable industry, is using its presence at this year’s FTTH Council Conference and exhibition to highlight its extended KINOPTIC™ brand of end-to-end turnkey FTTH solutions. It will also host various workshops at the conference that demonstrate more efficient and cost-effective ways of deploying fibre to the home.

KINOPTIC – smart individual solutions to build an end-to-end network

The KINOPTIC™ brand was launched last March to enable network operators and installers to easily meet all the needs of their FTTH deployments in multi-dwelling units (e.g. homes). It achieves this through a cleverly designed subscriber terminal outlet kit and by combining this with a pre-terminated cable and a pre-fitted user outlet in ‘ready-to-unroll’ packaging – therefore simplifying installation.

Since then, the brand offering has expanded and solutions have been designed for various locations on the network. Flexibility is a key trait of the brand and it now includes solutions for the central office, the distribution network and subscriber premises.

The type of KINOPTIC™ solution that is chosen by operators and installers depends on the field configuration and the type of cable laying technique required to fit the cable. For instance, some cables are either pulled, blowed or extracted during installation.

In addition to this, because of the way the range has been designed, the operator and installer can select the exact solutions they need to be fitted across the FTTH network – and at every stage of the installation – right through to the subscriber’s home.

Further benefits of using KINOPTIC™ include: CAPEX savings and OPEX optimisation; quick and easy deployment; flexibility to adapt to their environment in the field; and a brand that respects the aesthetics of people’s homes and private areas;

“The KINOPTIC™ range, demonstrates how Nexans takes advantage of its broad industrial knowledge and expertise across various fields to innovate and develop a complete solution that serves the market’s needs,” says Xavier RENARD, Nexans Interface Product & Marketing Department Manager. “It includes all the necessary cables and accessories required to easily and quickly deliver an FTTH solution to network operators and installers.”�

The Holy Land is also likely to become the land of super-fast Internet connections, as it adopts a technology called “fiber to the home” (FTTH).

Israel Electric Corp, a state-owned electric company, plans to offer a cutting-edge, high-speed broadband network to the entire nation, which is about the size of New Jersey. Because the country is relatively small and has some dense population centers, Israel Electric is predicting Israel will jump to the “forefront of the next generation of Internet technology,” according to a report from The Associated Press.

Israel is looking ahead by opting for fiber-optic lines that will likely provide connections that are 10 to 100 times faster than more traditional methods, The AP said. “All the developing countries that have a vision for 10 years ahead, or 20 years ahead, understand that the name of the game will be communications, broadband communications, very fast communications,” Tzvi Harpak, Israel Electric’s senior vice president for logistics, said in a statement made to The AP and carried by TMCnet.

Israel expects that 10 percent of the nation will be wired for the new technology by 2013, and two-thirds of the nation will be wired within seven years, The AP said.

Oliver Johnson, CEO of Point Topic, said FTTH will be the “gold standard” of “the next generation of broadband service,” The AP reported. The improved technology will lead to applications in such areas as videoconferences, medical surgery, and in cloud computing. It will also lead to increased chance for economic success, The AP said.

“Everyone feels that bandwidth will be this commodity down the road. If you don’t have it, you’ll be out of luck,” David St. John, spokesman for the FTTH Council, told The AP.

South Korea now leads the world with FTTH technology, followed by Japan and Hong Kong. About 7.1 million homes in the United States, representing 6.6 percent of the total residences, use FTTH, The AP said. An example is FiOS�(News – Alert) from Verizon. Israel now uses mostly DSL and cable for connections.

Among the companies interested in installing the new technology in Israel are: Telecom Italia�(News – Alert) SpA and BT Group PLC, as well as Israel-based firms Elbit Systems, Rapac Communication & Infrastructure, and Tamares, The AP said.

“There’s been quite a lot of interest,” Philippe Guez, managing director at Rothschild, the financial adviser on the project, told The AP. “We believe and hope the government and the Israel Electric Corp. will make the appropriate changes in order to make this wonderful project happen.”

Given that Israel is considered a major technology center, the adaption of FTTH not just for major technology companies but for everyday folks is not a surprise. “Providing high-quality, fiber-to-the-home bandwidth for consumers all over Israel (especially in peripheral areas) is a national interest as it promotes economic growth, education, provision of government services, social welfare,” Eden Bar-Tal, director general of Israel’s Communications Ministry, told The AP.

Israel Electric traces its roots to 1923, when it was started as The Electric Company for Palestine. It has 2.4 million customers, according to data cited by Yahoo Business.

24th Nov 2011 – Fibreband is a initial Internet use provider to take advantage of CityFibre’s insubordinate Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH) network in Bournemouth by rising superfast Gigabit broadband services with smallest exquisite speeds of 100Mbps. This means that users can upload calm online during a same speed as they download it.

Adam Troman, ubiquitous manager, Fibreband said: “As a internal use provider, we know a needs of a people of Bournemouth and wish to yield a mould-breaking broadband use that is a enviousness of other towns and cities opposite a UK. CityFibre’s network is singular in that a twine ocular wire is connected directly to a skill that means there is no concede to a speeds that can be achieved, now or in a future.

“We have been operative closely with CityFibre given it acquired a network progressing this year and have been intensely tender with a work it has finished to move this new, loyal twine ocular infrastructure to Bournemouth. We demeanour brazen to being CityFibre’s initial use provider partner and have high hopes for a continued rollout via a city in 2012.”

Bournemouth-based Fibreband, is mouth-watering 250 households in a BH10 and BH11 postcode areas to take partial in a route of a superfast broadband services. Volunteers will accept a full use giveaway of charge.

Mark Collins, CCO during CityFibre said: “We betrothed a residents and businesses of Bournemouth that we would finish a unprepared work from a predecessors, a joining that we have kept. It’s needed to CityFibre that we conduct this network responsibly. We are unequivocally gratified to be now relocating onto a subsequent theatre and that a initial use provider partner Fibreband are rising their services.”

CityFibre acquired this FTTH network in Jan 2011 and it now passes some-more than 24,000 homes that are ‘service-ready’.

Notes to editors:

Currently there are dual forms of network that a UK accepts as delivering superfast broadband to residents. One is loyal Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH) and a other is Fibre-to-the-Cabinet (FTTC), that creates use of normal copper or coaxial wire to a home. However, it is widely supposed on a universe stage, that a usually loyal subsequent era infrastructure is pristine FTTH; where a whole network tie is delivered undeviating with twine ocular wire into a home. FTTC can usually ever be a brief tenure resolution as it doesn’t matter how quick a network is to a cabinet, a use speed (both adult and download speeds)will always be compelled by this ‘last mile’.

ewl and Swisscom have embarked on a project to construct a comprehensive Fibre-to-the-Home network by 2014. The special cables and wall outlets that are required for the installation of optical fibres in homes all come from Datwyler.

For the in-house wiring ewl decided to use as thin an FTTH cable as possible with a flame-retardant yellow sleeve and four fixed fibres with a maximum diameter of 0.6 mm each. In terms of its design, the FTTH wall outlet needed to correspond to the existing installations and was to be as flat as possible. In addition to a window for the label, dust protection caps and connectors with laser protection, pre-fabricated pigtails, designed for shrink and crimp splice protection as well as an integrated, generously proportioned fiber tray were called for. In addition, the wall outlet was to ensure the easiest possible handling during installation.�
