FTTH / FTTB

Fiber Deployment and Installation

We carry out professional fiber optic cable splicing using modern fusion splicers. This ensures minimal attenuation and stable data transmission.

Physical delivery

Precise Installation and Splicing

We handle the complete physical implementation: from precise planning through professional cable laying and splicing, to the structured and fully documented handover of your network.

What do we mean by fiber optic installation?

Fiber deployment is far more than just “laying a cable”. We support the entire process — from route planning and cable installation to fiber splicing, OTDR testing and full documentation.

We distinguish between FTTH (Fiber to the Home), where the fiber runs directly into each unit, and FTTB (Fiber to the Building), where the fiber terminates at the building entry point. Together we determine which approach fits your building, infrastructure and project goals.

Typical FTTH / FTTB route in delivery

Backbone or feed route

Starting point for rollout and later operator handover.

Building handover

Defined point for distribution, splicing and documentation.

Internal distribution

Clean routing towards floors, units or technical areas.

Acceptance-ready endpoint

Patching, labeling and preparation for testing or operation.

Scope of delivery

1. Planning & Route Design

We develop a reliable concept for your fiber network — including topology, route layouts, splicing schedules and port assignments for closures, distributors and rack cabinets.

Analysis of existing infrastructure & building plans
Selection of FTTH vs. FTTB depending on use case
Splicing schedules, port lists & labeling concepts

2. Fiber Installation & Routing

Together with civil engineering partners, we install ducts and fiber cables. Inside buildings, we complete risers, building entries and distributions to the network cabinet.

Installation of ducts and microduct routes
Building entry points and FTTB/FTTH distributions

3. Fiber Splicing & Patching

Our technicians perform precise fiber splicing in closures, distribution points and racks, and patch fibers at patch panels and active equipment — clean, documented and according to standards.

Patching to patch panels, PoP locations & active ports
Labeling and assigning all fibers and ports

4. Acceptance Testing & Documentation

Every installed link is tested using OTDR, power and loss measurements. You receive clear and complete reports for acceptance, operation and future expansion.

Typical use cases for our fiber installation services

Wherever high bandwidth, low latency and a future-proof backbone are required, our team delivers the infrastructure.

New developments & neighborhood networks

Backbone to building distribution — as a partner for utilities, network operators and project developers.

Residential buildings & retrofit installations

Upgrading existing multi-dwelling units with FTTH/FTTB — including risers, building entries and distribution cabinets.

Commercial properties & industry

Fiber connectivity for office buildings, warehouses, production sites and data centers across the Rhein-Main region.

IT service providers & general contractors

We carry out splicing, measurements and documentation as a subcontractor for your IT or telecom projects.

How a fiber installation project works with smaRTtechnik

1. Initial consultation & assessment

We clarify objectives, coverage area, bandwidth requirements and existing infrastructure — and coordinate with your civil works or IT partners if needed.

2. Planning & detailed concept

Based on the assessment, we develop route layouts, splicing & port plans, and a realistic schedule including required resources.

3. Implementation: installation, splicing, patching

Cables are installed, fibers are spliced, closures and racks are equipped and labeled — with continuous coordination throughout the project.

4. Measurement, acceptance & handover

We perform all required tests, fix any irregularities and hand over full documentation including all measurement reports and overview plans.

Our installation standards

Local presence: fast response times across the Frankfurt / Rhein-Main region.
Skilled specialists: dedicated fiber optic & network technicians — not generalists.
Complete documentation: clear splicing, port and measurement reports.
Flexible cooperation: direct engagement or subcontracting for utilities, carriers and IT providers.
End-to-end service: optional LAN, Wi-Fi and long-term maintenance included.

FAQ – Fiber installation in the Frankfurt region

Which regions do you cover for fiber installation?

Mainly the Frankfurt / Rhein-Main region — including Frankfurt, Offenbach, Hanau, Rodenbach and surrounding districts. Larger projects can be supported outside the region as well.

Do you also provide standalone services such as only splicing or testing?

Yes. We offer full FTTH/FTTB rollout as well as individual services including splicing, patching, OTDR testing and documentation.

How long does a fiber installation project take?

A single building usually takes a few weeks. Large-scale FTTH or neighborhood rollouts take several months including planning and testing.

Do you also handle the civil engineering work?

We typically work with the civil engineering partners of the client. If needed, we can recommend trusted partners or coordinate the civil works for you.

Is every fiber link tested before acceptance?

Yes. Every installed link is tested with OTDR, power and loss measurements, and you receive complete digital measurement reports.
