Press Release:
Microduct and Fiber Optic Project Donated to
the City and County of Honolulu.
In an effort to streamline operations with high-speed
communications, The City and County of Honolulu has
installed and tested a new fiber optic technology that can
be used in existing roadways and pedestrian areas. This
utilizes Lite Access Technologies’ revolutionary

connectivity. This proof of concept demonstrated how high capacity networks can now be deployed
using an alternate method to traditional trenching in the most non-intrusive, and environmentally
friendly manner.
This first Microduct installation was completed and donated to the City and County of Honolulu in an
effort to further promote this revolutionary technology. The network was completed within the business
day and connected high-speed fiber optic communications between the Honolulu Medical Examiners
Building and the City Department of Health building in downtown Honolulu.
The team consisted of a coordinated effort between City CIO Gordon Bruce, Edward Sun, President of
Sun Global LLC and the generous donation and expertise from Lite Access Technology, Bering Sea
Eccotech, and Total Control Solutions. Sun Global is the exclusive Hawaii-Asia-Pacific Distributor for
this product from Lite Access Technology.
According to Sun, “The Microduct and air blown fiber technology provides substantial cost savings in
deployment, reduced interruption of vehicle and pedestrian traffic, and meets security standards for non-
trenching environments around government buildings. It also provides quick installation for Fiber-To-
The Building (FTTB) or Fiber-To-The-Home
(FTTH) and was designed as an air and water
tight system that can easily support future
growth demands”
“Mayor Hannemann has put a high priority of
the use of technology and this trench-less
method for installing fiber optic networks
demonstrated flexibility when it comes to
network deployments,”. The Microduct and air
blown fiber solution will satisfy this immediate
application at the Department of Health location.
We appreciate this gift to the City and County of
Honolulu” stated Gordon Bruce, Director
