Emtelle Chosen as Premier European Supplier of FiSpy
The European distribution rights of FiSpy – an innovative new product which uses smart technology to detect micro duct faults – have been awarded to Emtelle, a leading provider of blown fibre and ducted network solutions for the telecoms industry.
FiSpy, developed by New Zealand-based FiComms, uses a patented process to identify a micro duct or micro ducts within a multi duct environment. This removes the risk of incorrect identification and cutting of ducts, reducing the time and cost currently spent on fault finding.
“Maintaining a reliable fibre network is essential and detecting network problems quickly and efficiently is crucial when it comes to minimising downtime, and reducing installation time,” said Scott Modha, International Business Development manager at Emtelle. “Previously, this might have involved a large workforce manually looking for the fault but FiSpy takes the guesswork out of fault finding and lessens the labour involved, generating immediate cost savings for our customers and reducing the likelihood of expensive reworks in the future.”
Other benefits of the FiSpy include low cost of ownership and maintenance, high user-friendliness and easy transportation, with the product featuring a compact design, interchangeable head sizes (5mm, 7mm and 8mm), an IP67 ruggedised case, simple LED indication and one-button operation.
These capabilities will be showcased for the first time at FTTH Conference 2018, where Emtelle will put FiSpy to the test in a blown fibre race at its stand G01. The winner of the race will be presented with a FiSpy on the final day of the event.
