Citynet’s competitive advantage resides in the use of FAST TECHNOLOGY (Fibre Access Through Sewer Tubes), a robotic technology that allows the installation of fibre optics cables in narrow sewers (200 mm – 700 mm range). The installation of the is carried out via robots guided from a control station situated inside a support vehicle outside the sewer, by the access manhole. A self sustainable clamps system is installed, without drilling the sewer nor damaging the existing infrastructure.FAST TIGHTENED TECHNOLOGY, a Citynet’s development of FAST baseline technology, consists of corrugated conduits supported by FAST rings and tightened from sewer manholes. This technology increases deployment productivity ratios and guarantees an equally reliable installation in non man entry sewers.see photos

Man entry sewer requires of a different set of techniques, materials and resources, which are also provided by Citynet. Due to large diameters of pipes, small drillings can be performed and special conduits are attached to the walls of the pipe. Polypropylene copolymer (PPCO) conduits, are corrugated, flexible and highly resistant.see photos

Access to the interior of buildings remains as a major issue for agents willing to take fibre optics inside dwellings. Citynet offers a variety of solutions to access buildings without digging or trenching the curbs. Solutions include micro-trenches, lining, stainless steel alloy rings, packers and others.
