Pushlok hardened connectors are half the size of existing offerings, connecting to terminals that are up to four times smaller.
“With Evolv HC solutions and Pushlok technology, Corning is working with our customers to lower the barriers to deploying 5G-ready networks,” said Bob Whitman, vice president of market development for Carrier Networks, Corning Optical Communications. “Increasingly, installers are having to deploy fiber in tight spaces not originally designed for today’s connection density—and all types of network operators are looking to deploy it faster and more cost-effectively. That’s why they’ll find our miniaturized solutions so valuable, wherever they need to go.”
Among the benefits of Evolv's HC Solutions for network operators:
- Compact, easy-to-install terminals can be deployed on the ground, on a pole, or on a building facade. Operators can save money by reducing the size of handholes and pedestals, reusing existing infrastructure, lowering pole placement fees, and streamlining permitting.
- Operators can deploy terminals for any type of fiber network to installations with minimal visual impact, which can expedite approval times from local and municipal governments.
- Pushlok technology enables easy, one-handed installation with tactile and audible feedback. Evolv's lightweight terminals streamline aerial and building facade installations and improve the utilization of congested ducts and handholds.
