Today's communication networks carry information at higher speeds than ever before. The needs of tomorrow will be even more demanding. The technology to meet these needs is changing and the use of optical fibre in metropolitan and access networks is growing rapidly. Technologies for the deployment of optical fibre networks are also changing. The use of 'Air Blown Fibre' (ABF) is becoming more widespread.

Advantages of Air Blown Fibre

• Deferred network investment
• Increased flexibility for network growth
• Future proof fibre flexibility Reduced splicing and/or node requirement
• Shorter time to service Reduced community disruption - one time dig

"Blolite" Systems from Leviton
Blolite is an exceptionally flexible and cost-effective optical communications system designed to maximise the benefits of blown fibre technology in local area networking and suitable for both backbone and fibre to the desk.

The flexibility of the Blolite system allows networks to be configured and reconfigured quickly during initial installation and at any time thereafter to meet changing requirements. Once installed, the Blolite network can be switched to the latest fibre technology with a minimum of fuss and disruption.
