Building and expanding fiber optic networks
Network level 3 connects the central fiber optic network with the connection areas. For an economical and future-proof expansion, coordinated pipe systems, connection technology, and installation methods are essential. Discover how modern speedpipe systems make fiber optic expansion more efficient.
What are Network Level 3 networks?
Network Level 3 networks form the foundation of modern FTTH networks
Network level 3 (L3) connects the central network infrastructure of a fiber optic network with the individual expansion areas and household connections. It comprises the routes between main distributors, PoPs (Points of Presence), and the connection areas in cities and municipalities. The quality and future-proofing of a fiber optic network are largely determined by the planning and execution of this network level.
Today, duct bundle and microduct systems are used for economical fiber optic expansion. They enable flexible network planning, create reserves for future expansions, and facilitate the blowing-in of fiber optic cables. Depending on project requirements, pipe bundles can be installed using plowing, trenching, open trench, or directional drilling methods
Level 3 networks form the foundation for FTTx infrastructures and support both the expansion of FTTH networks and future requirements for bandwidth, digitalization, and smart city applications.

Why use microduct systems in Network level 3 expansion?
Microduct systems support economical FTTH expansion.
Modern microduct systems offer decisive advantages for new construction and the expansion of fiber optic networks:
- Reserve capacity for future network densification
- Fast and safe blowing-in of fiber optic cables
- Adaptability to different installation methods
- Reduction of civil engineering costs through possible co-installation
- High operational reliability and long-term protection of the fibers
Combining speedpipe microducts, speedpipe bundles, and fittings creates coordinated system solutions for efficient fiber optic expansion at network level 3.

Future-proof fiber optic network expansion
The expansion of a fiber optic network doesn't end with the first construction phase. Additional household connections, new commercial areas, or growing bandwidth requirements often make later network adjustments necessary. That's why we rely on NE3 network components designed for flexible planning and expanded capacity.
Microduct systems create the prerequisites for flexible network development. Free reserve capacities allow for the subsequent installation of additional fiber optic cables without having to reopen existing routes. This reduces civil engineering costs and supports economical expansion over the entire lifecycle of the network.
With coordinated speedpipe bundles, fittings, network distributors, and splice closures, future-proof infrastructures are created that meet both current and future broadband network requirements.
