A safe and secure method of building fibre networks, developed by H2O Networks.
The FS Focus System (Fibre Optical Cable Underground Sewer System) uniquely and innovatively utilises the UK's 360,000-mile, waste water network to install fibre optic networks.
The sewers enable networks to be deployed at a fraction of the time and cost of traditional methods.
The rapidly installed networks are provided on long term rental terms, but there is full flexibility and unlimited bandwith to accommodate the new dynamics of the expanding information market.
The methodology of the FS Focus System has been rigorously researched and tested, and constant CCTV monitoring ensures the security of the fibre.
Our FS Focus System is an innovative methodology for the 21st Century leaving behind the archaic methods of digging up roads.
Its quick deployment allows easy planning and gives instant inner city access. Not only that, by using independent ducting, our network is secure and underpins business continuity.
Our methodologies allow us to pass on the benefits to our customers and offer long term (up to 10 years) fixed prices and unrestricted bandwidth.
In short our FS Focus System provides customers with the fastest, most cost effective and environmentally sound fibre optic network solution. Our unique technology allows deployment anywhere and we are currently installing throughout the whole of the UK.
What is Dark Fibre?
A dark fibre network is a fibre optic cable network that can be managed by you. As it is fibre optic it allows for more data to be transmitted over greater distances than traditional copper networks. Up until now, the majority of optical fibre networks have been built by carriers who control the total capacity of the fibre and provide a variety of managed services to a large number of customers.
In a business context this means that information can be shared between multiple office sites instantly at a fraction of the cost of traditional carriers.
Our methodologies allow us to pass on the benefits to our customers and offer long term (up to 10 years) fixed prices and unrestricted bandwidth.
Darc (Derestricted Access Route Connections) is a dark fibre solution from H2O Networks that allows you to realise the potential of your business, whilst preserving the environment in which you work. Implemented using the FS System the costs are greatly reduced allowing you to have your own network with almost unlimited performance.
We build bespoke fibre networks to your requirements and then lease you the fibres from the cable deployed, the minimum being one pair of fibres, but this can be increased to any number of fibres. Periods of rental can be from 12 months to 10 years.
Darc allows you to plan and initiate a risk strategy for your network while keeping costs within budget.
On completion of the dark fibre network build we provide 24/7 Service Level Support and options to reserve additional darc fibre capacity over the term of the contract. It is a unique flexible approach to the 21st century demand for ultra high bandwidth.
This solution is kind to the environment as the fibre is laid in the sewer system. There is no need to dig up the roads which is expensive, costly and damaging.
In a busy world where high bandwidth demand is increasing and network capacity is uncertain, darc provides a total solution.
