In an era where digitalization is a given and network reliability is critical, Robust Fiber plays a central role. It represents an industry standard ensuring that fiber networks are built and maintained to the highest quality standards.
”It’s easy to think it’s just a standard, but it’s much more than that”, says Robert Hederhov, Allicon’s Chief Technology Officer.
The purpose of Robust Fiber is to ensure a reliable and long-term digital infrastructure capable of meeting future demands. By adhering to the standard, the risk of interruptions to critical communication services is minimized, providing security for both individuals and businesses. Robust Fiber isn’t just about technology – it’s about building a sustainable and secure digital society.
At Allicon, we’ve made Robust Fiber the foundation of our deliveries because we know that a robust network isn’t just about technology – it’s about ensuring security for both individuals and society.
“It represents a significant quality improvement. When both network owners and installers are certified and trained according to these guidelines, you can trust that the connectivity as a whole is robust”.
A Standard, Not a Law
Although there are no legal requirements mandating that all fiber networks must be built according to the Robust Fiber standard, its importance is undeniable.
“Over the 15 years it has been developed and implemented, you can see an enormous difference”, says Robert Hederhov.
He adds:
“It’s easy to think that a robust digital infrastructure is just about a standard, but it’s really about taking responsibility for critical societal information and functionality, which is a very relevant issue today”.
Lower Risk of Sabotage
At Allicon, we’ve seen how our robust fiber property networks lead to better uptime, fewer interruptions, and reduced risk of sabotage. With better documentation and protection, there is greater control over the fiber network.
“Having worked in the industry for many years, I’ve seen the tremendous quality improvement brought about by Robust Fiber. Faster connectivity, quicker troubleshooting, and fault resolution are just some of the benefits our customers gain by choosing Allicon as a partner. Not only for installation but also for the management and operation of fiber property networks”.
Robert Hederhov continues:
“The best feedback we get is when our customers don’t notice anything – meaning the standard is consistently high. Our responsibility begins and ends at the property boundary. Beyond that, other parties take over, such as when a cable is accidentally cut several kilometers away. No chain is stronger than its weakest link. When everyone takes responsibility for security and robustness – and, most importantly, follows the guidelines and documentation of Robust Fiber – we’ve achieved significant progress. The greatest advantage comes from the combination of Robust Fiber and a robust digital infrastructure. That’s when you get all the components working together seamlessly”.
