Our Site Works Capabilities
Optical Fibre Systems provides its clients specialist optical fibre communication solutions no matter their location. We are proud to have successfully completed many complex optical fibre communication projects over 1000km in length. One of our biggest was a 3000km long DWDM fibre characterisation of a network.
We have a range of specially designed vehicles for remote sites for the Engineering, Power Supply and Resource Industry sectors. They are able to withstand even the most remote locations with the harshest conditions. Our pride and joy is our custom-built military vehicle. It is a Mercedes Unimog U4000 4x4 splicing truck adept at handling Australia’s most testing environments. The truck features a central tyre inflation system, 1200mm fording depth, front and rear hydraulic winches and a spacious air conditioned work area that protects workers against Australia’s extreme weather patterns.
Our vehicle and remote site works access is such that if we cannot get to your site, it is time for a helicopter!
