Cost Savings

Sirocco® can be used in many parts of today's fibre networks. In order to benefit from the flexibility that Sirocco® could give your network, Prysmian and its Sirocco® partners are able to model a variety of Blown Fibre network scenarios. These will highlight deferred cost potential, reduced total installed cost and levels of future proofing whilst demonstrating the creation of a platform for rapid fibre deployment and upgrade.

Since no two networks are the same, Prysmian and its Partners choose to invest time to collaborate with its customers to deliver Sirocco® solutions. Please contact your nearest Prysmian representative to discuss your requirements.

However, to indicate the savings potential from using Sirocco® blown fibre, the attached slide presentation takes a real example from a recent project to demonstrate the scale of cost avoidance that can be delivered. Every project is different and the nature of the particular project examined and the savings potential projected will not always be achievable.

In this example, a multi-tenanted building requires a diverse feed to one customer and the examination of a return to install a secondary link to another customer on a different floor some time later. The initial network cost of a blown fibre solution is a little more than 10% higher but following the second link installation, the conventional cabling cost works out to be 30% higher overall. With subsequent links to customers on other floors, the cost of blown fibre is 50% of the cost of a comparable cabling alternative.

Other examples will show that even the initial costs of link construction can be less than the traditional approach to providing service. Then, with a tubing infrastructure in place, the opportunity is presented to bring service to adjacent customers rapidly.
