Emtelle’s Fiber Storage Magazine (FiberMag) – patent pending – helps broadband service providers to streamline fiber deployment by optimizing last-mile connectivity. By pre-installing fiber at the property boundary, FiberMag eliminates high remedy costs, reduces labor-intensive installation during the customer connection phase, and enables instant, splice-free customer connections, done right the first time, every time. This reduces operational expenses (OPEX) by minimizing truck rolls and secondary excavation in the sidewalk. Additionally, the integrated EM-Marker ensures precise underground traceability if any maintenance is required. By ensuring the fiber is readily available for new subscribers, service providers can increase customer connection rates and reduce customer connection costs, driving faster monetization and long-term revenue growth.

How does Emtelle’s FiberMag helps customers meet their objectives and reduce OPEX?

  • Lower OPEX & Installation Costs: Bulk fiber pre-installation at the property boundary reduces truck rollouts, excavation work, and labor costs, driving major operational savings & efficiencies.
  • Faster, More Efficient Customer Activations: Stored fiber can be retrieved instantly and pushed to the home without splicing, ensuring quick, hassle-free service activation and an improved customer experience.
  • Network Reliability & Easy Maintenance: The integrated EM-Marker ensures fiber is easily traceable underground, preventing unnecessary excavation, reducing long-term maintenance costs, and improving service efficiency.
  • Higher Customer Take-Up & Revenue Growth: With fiber already at the boundary, service providers can quickly activate new connections, increasing subscriber acquisition rates, maximizing network utilization, and accelerating ROI and long-term profitability.

By future-proofing FTTH networks, FiberMag empowers broadband providers to scale efficiently, reduce costs, and stay ahead in an increasingly competitive market.
