Public Initiative Networks (RIP) The France THD plan supports the deployment of RIP when private initiative is not sufficient. This deployment of optical fiber represents 43% of the population and is carried out thanks to a mix mixing several technologies (FTTH, wireless technologies, service of increase in speed). The investment planned for public initiative networks is estimated between 13 and 14 billion euros. This investment is financed half by the operating revenues of the RIPs and the co-financing of private operators. The rest of the funding comes from the State in two forms: Fiber optic testing With an increasingly competitive market, networks must be continuously upgraded and maintained to ensure higher quality and speed of applications and services provided to customers. The constant evolution of broadband systems imposes on the fiber optic infrastructure to be impeccable to support these applications and services. Fiber optics must be further tested to ensure that

In theory, yes. This is at least the promise made to the French by successive governments. In practice, the less dense areas always remain the “poor parents” of the FTTH plan. Indeed, for the time being, operators have favored equipping the largest French cities to the detriment of less populated areas and / or more difficult to access. However, the PFTHD adopted in February 2013 reaffirmed the objective of covering the entire French territory by 2022 . In the meantime, ARCEP has formalized the launch of VDSL2 and its commercial deployment. This technology, which substantially improves the performance of ADSL without however equaling that of fiber, constitutes a last resort while the fiber is deployed throughout France. Where are we in the deployment of fiber and what are the offers? ARCEP has set up an “Observatory for High and Very High Speed ​​in France”. As of June 30, 2017, the regulator had just over 6 million very high-speed Internet subscriptions  - compared to 2 mi

Ideally, the splices are tested with an OTDR as soon as they are made and before placing them in a splice tray. The fusers give an estimate of the splice loss, but it is only an estimate. The OTDR can confirm the quality of the splices, giving the installer the assurance that the splice is good and that the splice box will not need to be reopened to redo a defective splice.    Special care should be taken when putting the splices in the trays and when organizing the underground ducts or fibers in the box. A problem that arises a lot is that the fibers are broken when the trays and boxes are assembled. Finding the fiber breaks inside the box is complicated since they are too close to the joint to resolve them with an OTDR. If the joint is close enough to allow its location with a visual fault locator, the break can be found with a visual inspection.  Termination At least the termination is usually done inside a building near the telecommunications equipment, either a termination

Reception of fiber optic cabling and equipment in the work area Fiber optic equipment and components may be damaged through improper handling or storage and must be handled in the correct manner.  Reception The delivery of the fiber optic cable, equipment, and supplies should be scheduled in the work area as soon as possible at the time of use, to reduce the risk of possible damage from construction, weather or theft. The coordination of delivery can be complicated, which is why it must be coordinated in an area outside the construction or in a closed storage warehouse in the construction area. Once received, all components must be carefully checked to see that they do not show any damage. If they are suspected of being damaged, continuity should be verified and if there are losses.  Make sure that all components and parts were sent, received, that the quantities ordered match (for example, that the fiber optic cables contain the quantity and type of fiber ordered, which are

There are hundreds of different fiber optic components that manufacturers have developed for specific applications or to simplify the work of the installer. Many of these components are only made by one manufacturer, so they may require special installation tools and processes. Some examples are pre-polished splice connectors such as Corning Unicam connectors, 3M HotMelt hot melt connectors , splice closures, all self-supporting dielectric cables, fiber optic ground (OPGW) cables, prefabricated cable systems , etc. One should be trained directly with the manufacturer, unless an independent instructor has already been trained, the manufacturer recommends it and has the appropriate tools and components to teach the necessary processes. Some manufacturers offer short introductory courses for new products that include some practices. This training can be ideal for those interested in learning more about that product before starting to buy all the tools and components necessary to use it

In general, the customer is not familiar with fiber optic technology or has as much practice as an experienced contractor. The contractor may need to discuss certain choices with the client when he considers that other alternatives are better. The actual installation process can comprise much more than just installing wires, placing terminals and testing the installation. If the contractor is informed and experienced, the user can ask him to buy, receive, inspect and bring the components to the work area, which can be another good source of income for the contractor. Having control of the materials process also simplifies the life of the contractor, who can keep his job on time, instead of depending on the client, who has other priorities. In addition, you will have the freedom to choose those components with which you are most familiar, which facilitates the installation process. The technicians who will actually perform the installation must be trained and certified by an organi

Both inspections and tests of the installed cable network should not be left by the end of the project. Through constant tests during installation, problems, such as cable tension and high termination losses, can be detected and solved before they are extended. At the time of testing, each installer must use the documentation with the estimated optical loss calculations and acceptable losses to evaluate the test results. All installers should review their work with each other to ensure final quality. What to do when something goes wrong? When faced with a problem, it is obvious that the one who has the responsibility to quickly decide if he can take care of the problem is the supervisor who is in place. If you can't, you should know who to call to go to the problem site and who to notify. A regular review of the progress of the project can minimize interruptions.  Equipment failures may delay progress. However, if for example there is a problem in a fiber optic fuser, other pa
