The FiberWire Story
The concepts

history of rural electrification during the 1930s
100 years ago much of the rural world had very limited electricity.Then
came the electrical network, and slowly power became available for all.

Just add the glassThe ideal network for internet has already been built, it
just needs an update, fiber optic glass.

But...It cost too much for rural areas

FiberWire will be robotically installedFiberWire will be robotically installed onto existing conductors. This allows for rapid deployment and lowers total cost .

What are the technical requirements for FiberWire?
1. It must add strength to the power line conductor.

What are the technical requirements for FiberWire?
2. It must be robust, hard to bend and easy to route.

3. Low TCO. It must have long life, low maintenance,
rodent proof, bullet proof, and fireproof.
What are the technical requirements for FiberWire?

the rat's lower incisors
rank 5.5. Diamond is 10.

The Fiberwire System
Tubing is manufactured Then galvanized
And cut to pre-measured lengths
for the network

Next the optical glass fiber is jetted through the tubing at high speed. Water block jel is the
carrier fluid for the fiber.

Ends of the cable are factory terminated eliminating the
excessive field splicing cost

The end
Finally, internet like electricity, faster than you can
use it, provided fairly to all, through member
owned cooperatives.
