3 INTRODUCTION In 1999, Blown Fibre (Pty) Ltd was formed as an optical fibre specialist. Blown Fibre (Pty) Ltd has the rights to import, and distribute the Fibre Flow air blown fibre technology to the Southern Africa region. Air Blown Fibre solutions proved its value in many countries throughout the world by enabling today's information technology users to future proof their infrastructure networks, and to provide for the growing demand of tomorrow. Blown Fibre (Pty) Ltd focuses on and supplies to various sectors including residential, mining, telecommunications, IT, government, transportation, military, leisure, industrial and gaming. THE CONCEPT Air Blown Fibre technology involves the use of a flow of compressed air to propel a lightweight, flexible fibre unit into a micro tube or micro duct. Developed originally by British Telecom (BT) plc back in early 1980 s the concept offers flexibility to upgrade and expand the network with significant cost savings. Emtelle (Pty) Ltd is the world leading manufacturer of FibreFlow Fibre Ready Cables and the major supplier to BT plc and hold a licence from BT allowing worldwide sales of the tried and tested technology. Blown Fibre is the authorised distributor of Emtelle s Fibre Flow product range in Southern Africa. MINI CABLE SOLUTIONS Mini cable solutions offer quicker installation and maintenance, superior blowing performance, greater design flexibility and consistently higher performance levels than conventional solutions. The ability to accommodate multi-tube configurations in a bundle, it smoothes the way for a single source network that can meet your current and future needs at a snap, maximising system uptime and easily absorbing new users and technologies. Besides the 10mm solution, other tube sizes are available for example, 7mm and 12mm. The tube bundles can be offered as Direct Burial or Direct Install. Small diameter fibre cables designed for fibre blowing, are blown into the fibre ready tube at rapid deployment speeds. Large fibre counts can now be blown for example 72 fibres in a 10mm tube. 2 P a g e

4 WE OFFER PRODUCTS Optical fibre cables Micro blown fibre cables & fibre units/bundles Duct s Ribbed pipe, sub-duct, micro duct Access chambers Modular Optical fibre accessories Tube closers, tube connectors, tube management, blown fibre tools & blowing equipment BLOWN FIBRE SOLUTIONS The desired route is constructed using Fibre Ready Cable, a duct resembling a Fibre Optical Cable but which is in fact an empty tube system with tube counts of 1, 2, 4, 7, 12, 19 and 24 tubes respectively. A Fibre Bundle comprising of 2, 4, 8 and 12 fibres, encapsulated in an acrylic coating, is then installed into the tube with the aid of Compressed Air through a small installation unit known as the Blowing Head. This solution offers customers future proof technology into the network, with the advantage of rapid, point to point fibre deployment. Multiple fibre types can be deployed within the same tube infrastructure, deferring capital cost and cost of ownership.
