Municipalities

Municipalities across the country are implementing fiber-to-the home (FTTH), fiber-to-the business (FTTB), and other FTTx network architectures, as well as the Metro network, to interconnect residents, businesses, law enforcement, utilities, healthcare facilities, schools, libraries etc. for the community’s unique requirements and vision. 

The level of quality, reliability, and speed of municipal inter-related and intra-related networks and the quadruple play communication services they support influence the degree to which the municipality can attract top level businesses, high tech companies, and significant employment to its area.    

As the pioneer in FTTH, FTTx, passive optical network (PON) technologies, and optical fiber manufacturing for the Metro,  in Asia and throughout the world, Sumitomo Electric Industries, our parent company, passes its expertise on to us… giving us a competitive advantage that we pass right along to you.  This synergy ultimately empowers you, the customer — and provides the most reliable and cost effective means with which to deploy fiber throughout your municipality.
