The Sirocco® Blown Fibre System provides a simple solution to managing the evolving network demands without the need for high initial capital expenditure or extensive network planning. Sirocco® enables optical networks to adapt to changing business requirements. Sirocco® allows optical fibres to be deployed on demand from one point of a network to another (internal or external) using compressed air to blow optical fibre into pre-installed tubes. Building your network using Sirocco® systems could realise the following benefits:

Increased network design flexibility
 •   Service provision on a just-in-time basis (Network on Demand)
 •   Existing fibre links can be easily re-routed to new users
 •   Latest and emerging fibre technologies (MM OM3 SM) can be deployed
 •   Superior damage recovery performance over conventional systems

Reduced initial expenditure/control on-going expenditure
 •  Capital expenditure costs can be deferred
 •  Splice and breakout expenses can be minimised
 •  Deployment of fibres is related to actual requirement
 •  Elimination of unlit fibre

Speed of customer connections
 •  Equivalent performance for 1st connections, significantly reduced timescales and costs for subsequent connections
 •  Existing tube routes can be interrupted at any location – allowing rapid network upgrades.

The flexibility offered by blown fibre solutions can substantially minimise today's network build costs. Given the uncertainty of the future trends in technology, demand growth, people movement and financial confidence, Sirocco® provides a flexible, low total life cost and ‘ peace of mind’ solution.
