What the buyer is looking for
Aachen University of Applied Sciences will need a fibre-optic connection (two unexposed fibre-optic double fibres) from Aachen to Jülich from 01.01.2027. The demand for two unexposed fibre-optic double fibres will ensure future-proof and flexible use of the passive fibre-optic infrastructure. By providing two separate double fibres, additional fibres are available for redundancy, extensions, alternative transmission routes or future applications in addition to the currently required transmission route. The design with two double fibres also reduces the effort required for subsequent retrofitting and increases the operational reliability, expandability and long-term cost-effectiveness of the infrastructure.
