Delivering Lightning Speed, Security,
Immediate Bandwidth & Scalability,
Non-Disruption, and More for Today’s
Transportation Networks
Quickly meeting TSA and other government mandates, easily & quickly upgrading security system requirements, foregoing the need to predict changes in traffic or new technology requirements and having complete control of virtually unlimited network capacity are some of the many reasons FutureFLEX has been adopted by prominent High Speed Rail Systems, Airports, Bridge Authorities, and Maritime Ports.
At Sumitomo, we’re delivering solutions that solve the real problems that traditional cabling simply cannot.
Providing the World’s Most Advanced and Revolutionary Fiber Optic Infrastructure and Connectivity Solutions
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 conventional fiber optic cabling and connectivity to launch the transportation network into the 21st Century with its revolutionary:
• FutureFLEX® Air-blown Fiber® — an environmentally green,
complete end-to-end, splice-free optical fiber and pathway
solution that provides not only unprecedented benefits for the
LAN, but for physically separated networks for security, DAS,
and other systems, as well. FutureFLEX features true, real-time
scalability with ” bandwidth on demand” 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.
Why Washington Metro Area Transit Authority (WMATA),
McCarran International Airport, Niagara Falls Bridge Commission,
Port of Los Angeles, Union Depot Transit Hub, Blue Water Bridge
Authority, Port of Freeport, DFW Airport, Vancouver International
Airport, and Many Others Choose FutureFLEX:
Traditional cabling systems are disruptive to the physical facility and its daily operations by requiring large installation crews who must lift ceiling tiles, re-enter conduit, and re-access secure and hazardous areas to install or pull fiber optic cable, make bandwidth upgrades, or complete any network moves, adds, or changes.
This disruption affects the flow of traffic, passenger comfort, and safety whether in an airport, subway station, or bridge crossing. Traditional cabling is not only costly and archaic, but also poses unnecessary downtime, potential damage to fiber, and unnecessary safety risks. With FutureFLEX Air-Blown Fiber, those days are over.
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 for IMMEDIATE SCALABILITY
• Provides Real-Time Fiber and Bandwidth Upgrades in response to
ever-changing and continuous government security mandates
• Eliminates the need for often unused, wasted, and potentially soon
to be obsolete dark fiber
• Solves the need to physically access secure, hard to reach,
and hazardous areas of the network for facility and traveler
non-disruption and safety
• Requires no construction work and re-entrance into conduit, ceiling
tiles, floors etc. for quick and easy fiber installations, upgrades,
reconfigurations, expansions, and MACs — eliminating safety hazards,
unnecessary downtime, and potential fiber damage
• Eliminates or significantly reduces network downtime
• Delivers 38 reusable fiber pathways in a 4 inch conduit versus
3 non-reusable associated with traditional cables

Achieve Optimum Speed, Reliability, Fast Repair & Restoration, and Cost Efficiencies without the Risk of Shorts & Slack and Logistic Delays of Preterminated Cables
High performance terminations have never been more important for the reliability of the mission critical, fast response, and ever changing transportation network and its physically separated networks, such as security, automated control systems, and DAS.
With average cost-per-minute of downtime exceeding thousands of dollars, optimum reliability, readiness, and the ability to repair and restore the network quickly and efficiently are central issues solved by Sumitomo’s Lynx2 field installable connectors.
As the company to have introduced the industry’s first MPO Splice-On Connector — the industry’s very first non-mechanical MPO field installable connector — Sumitomo Electric Lightwave has led the way in customized, on-site connectivity.
Customized on-site terminations and cable builds with EXACT lengths contribute not only to better performance, reliability, and quicker installations and MACs (without the shorts & slack and logistic delays of preterminated cables), but also solve prior bottle necks for mission critical quick repairs and restorations — essential for the most minimal downtime of the transportation network.
