For ensure the continuity and resilience of telecommunications services even in extraordinary scenarios, FiberCop announced the deployment of a fleet consisting of 14 special high mobility vehicles.
Located in strategic locations throughout the country, these vehicles are designed as real mobile technological powerhousesready to intervene at the request of operators to meet specific needs.
The fleet can perform various tasks: from temporary enhancement of network capacity on the occasion of major events, up to support in situations where the ordinary infrastructures are temporarily unavailable.
We remind you that in recent months FiberCop announced the transformation of old telephone exchangesbecome real supercomputers, and is working onexpansion of the FTTH fiber network up to 10 Gigabit, which will soon reach millions of Italians.
Hardware features and on-board equipment
The fleet is based on all-wheel drive vehicles (4×4)a technical choice that guarantees the reach of both urban centers and the geographically most difficult areas to serve, even operating in difficult conditions.
To guarantee operation in the total absence of power from the main electricity grid, each vehicle is equipped with a on-board generator setflanked by a power station and battery systems.
The mobile infrastructure is based on shelteran equipped module designed to offer a safe working environment to technicians. Inside there are:
- equipment for fixed and mobile telecommunications networks;
- power and air conditioning systems;
- fiber optic connections and radio link;
- a station dedicated to configuring and activating the equipment.
From the point of view of connectivityall vehicles have a fiber optic connectionbut the transmission hardware differs by configuration:
- Ten units they are equipped with two telescopic poles dedicated to radio links and a third pole specific for BTS antennas.
- Four units instead they integrate a single telescopic pole, capable of exceeding 15 meters in height, which performs both functions (radio link and BTS).
Operational and installation flexibility
The FiberCop media architecture was developed for adapt to various operational scenarios. Depending on logistical needs, the shelter can remain integrated into the vehicle and used after stabilisation, or it can be separated from the tractor. Using specific lifting systems, the module can be placed on the ground safely, allowing it to be used even on irregular surfaces.
The use of these mobile infrastructures requires highly specialized staff. The delicate handling and installation phases require a team of at least three workers, one of whom has a category C (or higher) license.
