Government and Military

Every facet of technology has and continues to change and advance at lightning speed, except for two — the decades old fiber optic installation methods that actually support those advanced technologies and antiquated connectivity solutions.

That is…until now.  Sumitomo has solved the limitations of traditional fiber optic cabling and connectivity to bring the most advanced solutions for the zero downtime requirements of the mission critical network.

As a leader in optical fiber, fusion splicing, and connectivity solutions, we’ve had a long and proud history of serving military, government, and shipboard installations, providing the latest breakthrough innovations including:

     • FutureFLEX® Air-blown Fiber® — an environmentally
        green, complete end-to-end, splice-free optical fiber and pathway
        solution that offers true bandwidth on demand, eliminates the
        need to enter or disrupt  highly secure areas of the network,
        provides the speed and performance for the advanced
        military-government  network , plus much more.

     • Lynx2 CustomFit® Splice-On Connectors — for customized,
        on-site exact cable builds and terminations facilitating faster
        installations & MACs, faster repairs & restoration, and better
        performance for less downtime…without the shorts & slack
        and logistic delays of preterminated cables and other
        connectivity methods.

     • Fusion Splicing and Precision Tools Designed Specifically
        for the Needs of Military Applications — for tactical optical
        fiber cable applications, remote site and mobile networks,
        and faster repairs and restorations.

Why the Pentagon, White House, Nellis & Creech Air Force Bases, Homeland Security, Naval Air Systems Command, Fort Sam Houston, TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority), Edwards Air Force Base, and Many Others Have Adopted FutureFLEX Air-Blown Fiber?

Unlike traditional optical fiber structured cabling systems, FutureFLEX  

      • Provides virtually unlimited pathway, fiber, and bandwidth capacity

      • Blows at speeds of up to 150 ft. per minute the exact type and
         count of fiber required whenever and wherever needed in MINUTES
         versus the days or weeks associated with a traditional cable pull for
         REAL-TIME BANDWIDTH on DEMAND

      • Eliminates the need to physically access restricted or secure areas

      • Requires no construction work or physical disruption for network
         upgrades, expansions, and reconfigurations

      • Facilitates quick and easy physical separation of major networks
         including  SIPRnet,  NIPRnet, and COIN,  without physical access
         into any secure areas

      • Eliminates or significantly reduces  network downtime and
         disruption to critical operations

      • Allows fiber blown into network to quickly and easily be blown
         out undamaged as the perfect solution for mobile networks

      • Provides 38 reusable fiber pathways in a 4-inch conduit versus 3
         non-reusable associated with conventional cabling, solving congested
         conduit and duct bank problems… and the need to ever install
         new conduit

      • Requires only 2 installers for fiber installations, upgrades, and
         reconfigurations versus a large crew associated with traditional
         cabling — eliminating labor screening time and security threats

      • Delivers the industry’s ONLY environmentally green Renewable,
         Reusable, and Sustainable  fiber optic system that has no end
         to the fiber or bandwidth life cycle — fiber type blown out
         undamaged can be immediately recycled or reused in another
         part of the network

      • Saves 70 to 90% of the time and cost of optical fiber projects
         associated with traditional fiber optic structured cabling systems

      • Integrates easily with your existing cabling system

      • Plus much more
