In today’s digital age, the demand for high-speed data transmission is ever-increasing, necessitating the development of robust fiber networks. While mainline fiber connections carry data over long distances, individual fiber connections at homes and businesses enable people to access networks.
Vermeer fiber solution experts understand the challenges utility contractors face in building these networks and offer a range of efficient equipment and solutions for fiber drop installations, urban mainline installations and rural mainline installations.
Fiber drop installations
Fiber drop installations are critical for building robust networks, but can be challenging. Vermeer addresses this by offering a range of productive compact fiber solutions. These solutions include compact horizontal directional drills such as the Vermeer D8x12 and D10x15 S3 HDDs, which can navigate congested city environments and tight spaces while delivering optimal performance. Vibratory plows and trenchers like the Vermeer SPX25 and PTX series provide efficient fiber solutions for short residential and business-drop installations. The Vermeer Hole Hammer pneumatic piercing tools are also handy for making short fiber bores under hard surfaces.
Urban mainline installations
Urban fiber mainline work primarily involves HDD. Vermeer offers a lineup of HDDs that are widely used for this type of work. The Vermeer D20x22 S3 HDD is ideal for residential fiber work, combining power and compact size to perform long drill shots and short bores in tight working conditions. The Vermeer D23x30 S3 HDD is a versatile drill capable of working in challenging ground conditions and extending bore distances. Its speed, simplicity and low sound levels make it an excellent choice for urban areas. For demanding ground conditions, the Vermeer D23x30DR S3 HDD provides enhanced performance.
When there isn’t room to install fiber in the right of way, the Vermeer RTX450, RTX550 and RTX750 ride-on tractors can be outfitted with a range of attachments for fiber work, including a vibratory plow or MTR12 microtrenching attachment. These ride-on tractors are quick and efficient with minimal restoration work, and you can choose between tires and tracks to match the job site environment.
Rural mainline installations
When working in wide-open spaces, Vermeer offers fiber installation equipment designed to help achieve optimal distances. Contractors can choose from a range of utility drills or vibratory plows that suit their specific requirements. Models like the Vermeer RTX750 ride-on tractor equipped with a vibratory plow are fast and effective for installing fiber over longer distances in rural areas. These plows provide a reliable and productive method for laying fiber cables, ensuring a strong and reliable fiber backbone.
The Vermeer advantage
Having the right equipment is essential, but there are other factors in successful fiber installation work. A highly trained team, tools for fast bore setup and access to tooling, parts and service are equally crucial. The Vermeer global dealer network provides comprehensive support, including training, tooling selection and assistance with any fiber installation-related queries.
Building massive fiber networks requires efficient fiber drop installations, urban mainline installations and rural mainline installations. Vermeer offers a range of equipment and solutions tailored to these specific needs.
Vermeer Corporation delivers a real impact on the way important work gets done through the design, manufacture and support of high-quality industrial equipment that is backed by localized customer service and support provided by independent dealers around the world.
