m2fx partners with Hevek to accelerate Fibre to the Home deployments in Iraq

Fibre optic specialist Hevek Company has partnered with fibre cable manufacturer m2fx to launch the latter’s Miniflex products in Iraq.

Established for over 20 years, Hevek Company provides high quality fibre optic products to telecoms providers in Iraq, helping transform the country’s telecommunications network and expanding the economy through high speed fibre networks, including Fibre to the Home (FTTH) deployments.

The company will provide customers with m2fx’s full product range, including pushable fibre cables, lightweight aerial solutions and microducts for FTTH networks. It chose to work with m2fx due to the high quality of its products, and their proven ability to lower the cost of installations by deskilling deployments while increasing reliability.

“m2fx’s product range offers the lightest and most flexible aerial cable on the market, while its Miniflex design provides our customers with a true outdoor/indoor fibre optic cable that can be pushed up to 100m in microducts by hand,” said Mr. Fariborz Ardalan, Managing Director, Hevek Company. “With m2fx solutions now available in Iraq data providers finally have the opportunity to quickly respond to customer demands without needing expensive installation equipment or highly trained engineers.”

Hevek Company has already supplied m2fx cables and microducts to leading carrier Gorannet, which is deploying them as part of its FTTH customer rollout in Kurdistan.

“The telecoms market in Iraq is changing very quickly as the country rebuilds and upgrades infrastructure, harnessing the power of high speed fibre to transform the economy,” said Simon Roberts, sales director, Middle East and Africa, m2fx.

Developed to withstand direct sun and long term temperatures of 80 degrees centigrade, the Miniflex range combines lightness, flexibility and robustness. The strength of Miniflex’s pre-tested products means they can be nailed directly to external and internal walls, without the need for additional ducting.

In addition, the firm’s QuikPush pushable technology can reduce installation time as crews can simply push or pull fibre to its destination, without the need to use expensive blowing machines. Crews can complete 60% more installations per day without impacting quality. By deskilling operations cheaper labour can be used, bringing down costs by up to 50% in the Middle East.
