Summary
With increasing demand of optical fiber network that supports AI and other advanced computing technologies like quantum computing and cloud computing, the prompt expansion or modification of existing optical fiber network that suits to the growing capacity is a challenge in the optical network industry. In addition, the cost of the new or the expansion work to build the optical network often requires significant funding due to the limitation of the conduit space, purchasing dark fiber, and the high labor rate for the installation. This presentation will provide the unique solution, Air Blown Fiber (ABF) that provides the fast and easy optical fiber installation with significantly less labor requirements.
