Air Blown & Microduct Fiber Optic Access presentation University…Port of ????June 15,2010

……..Bridging the last mile optical divide………

Traditional Lite AccessSlow Fast

Traditional Lite AccessUnsightly Discreet

Speed of Deployment

• LAT’s last mile deployments are typically 4 to 6 times faster than traditional trenched methods

• Speed = cost savings and clients connected in a timely manner

• Our technology has been deployed in areas were traditional methods were deemed too invasive

Cost of Deployment

• Low Impact “Microduct” deployment offers substantial savings over traditional trenched methods

• Reduce costs for Permits, Meters, Traffic management and restoration

• Reduce capital required

Completed Deployments Wales and British Columbia

Summary of Benefits

• It is extremely fast to deploy – averaging 50% faster than traditional ducted methods

• It is non-intrusive / non-disruptive – ideal for inner city or campus locations

• It is very flexible – ring or point to point and perfect for carrier, cable co tail circuits

• It is substantially lower cost – generally less than half the cost of traditional methods

Lite Access Technologies Benefits over other solutions
