Network Expansion in North Europe, Sweden & Finland

Telecommunication Service Providers has been building its network in North European regions, mainly for metropolitan area of Sweden and Finland. KNET’s air blown solution has been applied since 2014 and thousands kilometers of Microducts were supplied to the local partner. Thick-walled Duct with easier operation advantage and proved resistance of low temperature makes the expansion more efficient. Up till now, the basic network of metropolis is almost fulfilled and some rural areas are being installed according to their increasing demand for fiber network connection.

Fast and Flexible Distribution Network Expansion, Germany

The demand for subscribers connection has been increasing which causes network provider and ISP companies to expand network and FTTH coverage for better services with reasonable cost.
