Fiber Optics

As communications technology advances and more Government Agencies, Corporations and many of the Private Sector Businesses are expanding to cover more regions; it became even more imperative that they must have a seamless, reliable communication network to connect their operations with a steady big bandwidth. We at e-Iraq believe that a well-researched and carefully installed back bone is the key element in providing first class services while meeting current local demands.  

Why

Ultimately, fiber optic cable had become the premier choice for both the Public and Private sectors due to its many advantages over the copper lines.  With its high bandwidth and reliability, e-Iraq’s customer data will travel faster and more securely, allowing the signal to maintain its clarity throughout the transmission, so there is no fear of an attenuated or weak signal at the final destination. In addition, fiber networks are becoming less expensive and more resistant to outside interruptions, like electromagnetic noise in copper lines.   

How

We are currently using the popular and typical method of "Trenching" for laying our fiber optic cables, which is a method of digging a path of open channels in areas where there are few or no above-ground obstructions in order to lay telecommunications conduits.  After the fiber optic conduits are placed, the trench is covered up with dirt. This method is non-invasive and considered to be fairly easy and it does not demand much space in the ground. Cable-Pull which follows the Trenching step can be performed by either using the air blowing technique or the traditional Tag-line (jetting) technique, leaving a Kevlar pull line for additional future pulls. Because the back bone routes are usually long, a splice will be needed to join these cables together, our engineers are skilled and very knowledgeable in using both Fusion and Mechanical splicing kits; in addition, we conduct tests to all splicing points using OTDR test equipments according to IEEE standards.
