Sirocco^® Blown Fibre System

The Sirocco^® Blown Fibre System provides a simple solution to manage 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:
