A FRESH APPROACH TO FIBRE-OPTIC EXPANSION


WITH THE G-LINE

The G-Line is Hauff-Technik's new fibre-optic product line. True to the slogan "A fresh approach to fibre-optic expansion", our aim with the G-Box is to provide an alternative to existing approaches and procedures for fibre-optic expansion, specifically for network construction work.

The three major objectives being pursued with the G-Line are greater speed, simplicity and affordability.

This reflects our opinion that the two primary aims in the coalition agreement, namely
1) providing Gigabit networks all over Germany by the end of 2025
2) connecting all schools, industrial zones and hospitals to the Gigabit network, and doing so during the current legislative period
can only be achieved by breaking new ground when it comes to fibre-optic expansion.

POSSIBLE AREAS OF APPLICATION

NEUBAU

NEW CONSTRUCTION

1a

Houses already completed and connected.
1b

Plots not yet built on/sold: Everything is already prepared for the subsequent fibre-optic connection. No further excavation work is required outside the plot. For expansion options 2 and 3, no further access to the site is required.
NETZBAUMASSNAHME IM BESTAND/NACHVERDICHTUNG

NETWORK CONSTRUCTION WORK ON EXISTING CONNECTIONS/POST-COMPRESSION

2a

Homes passed: Owners who do not want a connection for now cause huge expense down the road since all the work required for a connection must be organised separately (approvals, excavation, splicers, etc.). With the G-Box, everything is already prepared up to the plot boundary. If the owner wants a connection, all that needs to be done is to connect the building to the G-Box.
2b

Owners who want a connection: In this case, the connection with the G-Box is established while the cables are being laid in front of the plot boundary.
SMART CITY

SMART CITY

Being well connected everywhere is almost a basic requirement of modern society these days, and is also necessary for future services like autonomous driving.

However, the WiFi or 5G antenna sites needed for this require access to the fibre-optic network almost everywhere. This is made possible by the G-Box.

3a

The G-Box can guarantee access to the fibre-optic network at almost every point – regardless of whether at bus stops or street lighting poles – without other infrastructure such as buildings or poles.

3b

A solution can also be found where there is no infrastructure: integrated in a radiation-permeable covering, the G-Box can accommodate and supply various antennae in a bollard.

BENEFITS

With the G-Box, deadlines are reduced depending on the expansion option, up to a complete plug-and-play cable system, which is installed in the G-Box prepared and connected without any further on-site appointment. The G-Box creates advantages for network operators, local authorities, house and building owners, planners, fibre optic installers, civil engineering companies and public utilities.

EXPANSION STAGES

Fibre-optic expansion is proceeding at full speed at present. Network operators and telecommunications providers are facing the gargantuan challenge of expanding the fibre-optic network throughout Germany in a very short time and making high-speed Internet available to customers.

The greatest challenge by far is laying the fibre-optics on private plots as well as house connections in buildings, since this means making up to five appointments in total with the house owner. This results in significant organisational effort and increases the total costs per house connection.

BENEFITS AFTER COMPLETION OF THE NETWORK CONSTRUCTION

EXPANSION STAGE 1:

  • No more excavation and blowing-in work on public land
  • No problems due to shifting plug connections in the ground

EXPANSION STAGE 2:

  • No more excavation and blowing-in work on public land
  • No problems due to shifting plug connections in the ground
  • No additional appointment making with connection recipient required/splicer can "come whenever suits"

EXPANSION STAGE 3:

  • No more excavation and blowing-in work on public land
  • No problems due to shifting plug connections in the ground
  • No additional appointment making with connection recipient required/splicer can "come whenever suits"
  • Splicer no longer needed after the network construction work is completed. This does away with the need for costly and above all scarce specialist personnel

EXPANSION OPTION 1 − CABLE DEPOT

in the G-Box

With expansion option 1, a fibre-optic cable depot is stored in the G-Box already installed during the network construction work. This means that everything is prepared for the subsequent connection and no further excavation or blowing-in work is required on public land after the network construction work is complete. Shifting plug connections are no longer a problem either.

If a connection recipient opts for a broadband connection later, a micropipe just has to be laid on the plot up to the building and the fibre-optic cable run from the G-Box through the micropipe into the building and spliced to the subscriber terminal in the building.

EXPANSION OPTION 2 − SPLICING

in the G-Box

In expansion option 2, cables are blown into each G-Box during the network construction work. Not the entire cable depot, however, just 4 m of excess fibre-optic cable length. This lies protected in a connection set until a broadband connection is requested.

Once this time comes, a micropipe just has to be laid on the plot up to the building. Unlike expansion option 1, however, a fibre-optic cable with a termination point already permanently connected is run from the building outwards into the G-Box. The big advantage here is that the splice connection takes place in the G-Box, which means that access to the connection recipient's building and the time-consuming making of appointments this involves is not required.

Fibre-optic cables are spliced in TP in G-Box Fibre-optic cables are spliced in TP in G-Box

EXPANSION OPTION 3 – PLUG AND PLAY CABLE SYSTEM

With expansion option 3, four excess fibre-optic cable lengths are blown into each G-Box as in expansion option 2. Then the G-Box sealing case with integrated termination point is installed. The splicing work can take place directly when connecting the sealing case. This means that a splicer is no longer required after the network construction work is completed. A robust empty duct connection for future connection of the G-Box to the building is already prepared.

If a broadband connection is requested in the future, the empty conduit is extended into the building and the cable system is fed through. This just needs to be plugged into the G-Box and the building, avoiding another call-out of expensive specialist personnel.
