Don't let fiber splicing mistakes slow you down! Introducing SFL SpliceLogic We provide: - Easy to Read Splice Matrices and Splice Mapping Benefits: - Boost Field Productivity - Reduce as-built changes - Reduce reworking in the field - Empowering your splice crews - Future Proofing Splicing Records The Challenge in Fiber Splicing: Throughout my career, one of the biggest challenges I've seen has been the confusion caused by poorly designed, difficult-to-read fiber prints. These misinterpretations lead to mis-spliced counts, causing costly errors and project delays. The ripple effects can be severe, with supervisors and project managers forced to make continuous updates to as-builts, often working overtime to correct these issues. For field splicers, especially newer hires, complex or incorrect designs turn straightforward tasks into frustrating, time-consuming processes. This results in slower project timelines, reduced productivity, and decreased job satisfaction. Why SFL SpliceLogic Is Right for You If your team has struggled with field errors, mis-spliced counts, or delays caused by problematic designs, SFL SpliceLogic is the solution you’ve been waiting for. We’ve seen firsthand how this system solves these issues, and we’re excited to bring it to engineers, contractors, and providers who are looking to cut costs, improve efficiency, and elevate the performance of their splicing teams. Can You Relate? If you’ve ever managed fiber builds, you know the scenario: facing locate issues, pole permitting delays, bad weather, and other obstacles. Your splicing crew is confident they can finish on time, but when testing day comes, something goes wrong. With SFL SpliceLogic, we believe this could have been avoided. If you’ve experienced this frustration, we can help. Message me to learn more about SpliceLogic. #FiberSplicing #FiberDesign #FTTH #SpliceLogic

Explore the "New Gigabit Infrastructure Act" at FOAN2024. FTTH infrastructure involves extensive civil work, new technologies, innovation, and social needs; all of these have a significant influence on the speed and cost of implementation of FTTH networks. One of the important, if not the most important, influences is regulation; therefore, the FOAN organizers invited Cristina Contero Almagro, partner at Aphaia, to explain what is happening in EU regulation. Cristina will talk about "The New Gigabit Infrastructure Act" that replaced the 10-year-old act. Cristina's talk will conclude the practical session on FTTH infrastructure. Visit www.foan.info to learn more about FOAN. About the FTTH infrastructure session: https://lnkd.in/eRxgdA3r.

I'll be attending Fiber Broadband Association #FiberConnect24 #FB24 in Nashville between 28-30th July. If anyone would like to meet, or if you're a vendor or CSP running analyst briefings, please let me know. I'm principally interested in: - Trends in US fiber business models, especially #openaccess and wholesale - Integration of #FTTP and #FWA - Disaggregated FTTP infrastructure, eg whitebox OLTs, OpenBNG etc - #WiFi for CSPs, especially #WiFi7 and support of IoT / Matter etc - Broadband olicy eg BEAD, impact of Chevron, link to spectrum for FWA etc - Overall views on fixed broadband industry structure & competition - Read-across from US FTTP market to/from international market Drop me a line and we can try to schedule something, although FYI I'm intending to be in quite a lot of the conference breakout sessions. UPDATE: sadly I will not be at FC24 after all, because of a family issue that means I need to stay in London

Spectrum Enterprise is not the Cable Company! Managed Security, Unified Communications, Fiber Access, SD-WAN and much more. Can your current provider offer you a 100% SLA? Does Your current provider guarantee a 4 Hour Mean Time to REPAIR on BOTH On and Off-Net Fiber Circuits Can your current provider allow you to manage On-Net and Off-Net Fiber Circuits from a single Portal? Does your current provider own the responsibility, and guarantee, your Off-Net Fiber Circuits end to end? If you have answered "NO" to one or all of these questions, message me. It is, AT THE VERY LEAST, worth a conversation. Why settle for a provider that has been the same old disappointment for the last 20 years. Innovative approaches to Network Services thrive at Spectrum Enterprise.
