Metropolitan Network
Implementing a modern metropolitan optical network can be complicated and challenging. Space limitation, efficiency, and reliability are only the initial issues to consider when choosing the right fiber infrastructure. Network flexibility and upgradability have also become important. Careful choices in connectivity and optical cables for use in ducts of highly congested metropolitan networks can make the difference in performance, implementation cost and long-term integrity of the light path.

The implementation of a modern metropolitan optical network is complex and challenging. Many times these networks have to be deployed through congested traffic areas, throughout fashionable, well-groomed commercial districts, or crossing cultural areas with artwork of incalculable value. OFS offers products and solutions that address urban issues, from space limitation to excavation disruption to straightforward upgradability.

Careful choices in connectivity and optical cables can make the difference in performance, implementation cost and long-term integrity of the light path. Many OFS optical cables are the ideal solution for congested metropolitan areas, and can be deployed in new or existing ducts by using air-blown installation methods. By reducing or even eliminating the need for expensive and disruptive excavation along with procuring costly rights-of-way, OFS provides a more cost-effective solution that requires fewer deployment resources, making complex metropolitan networks easier.
