Revolutionising Fiber Network Deployment: Innovating for Faster, More Efficient Connectivity
Diamond Micro Trenching Technology
Ociusnet is one of the few specialists in diamond-based microtrenching, a precision method that transforms urban and suburban fiber deployment. Developed in partnership with Nextec System, this approach lets us cut a narrow, clean channel in roads or pavements and install fiber with minimal excavation resulting in delivering faster builds, lower reinstatement costs, and far less disruption to traffic and pedestrians than traditional trenching.
Because microtrenching requires only a slim incision, traffic management needs are greatly reduced and normal street use can continue with minimal interruption. That makes the method ideal for dense metropolitan rollouts, last-mile FTTH connections, and upgrades where minimizing public impact and accelerating time-to-market are priorities. The technique has been proven in the field for years and is robust for long-term use when applied correctly.
Together with Nextec we have industrialized the process into a full system: from planning and cutting to cable deployment, reinstatement using specialized fill materials, sealing and final documentation. Our team brings hands-on experience with Nextec’s equipment and workflows, enabling repeatable quality, scalable deployments and clear as-built records for future maintenance.
If you want a high-speed, low-impact way to bring fiber closer to users, Ociusnet’s diamond microtrenching delivers speed, scalability and superior user experience. Contact us to discuss suitability for your project and to review a demonstration of the method (see Nextec System’s method video on their website).
OciusX Project Management Software
OciusX is the project management platform spun out from Ociusnet’s in-house toolset and now offered as a standalone product to operators and network builders. Designed from years of field experience, OciusX is purpose-built for fiber rollouts: it connects crews, project managers and customers on a single platform so work progresses predictably, transparently and safely.
​
Built around a field-first workflow, OciusX gives technicians simple mobile access to tasks, field reporting, and as‑built capture, while providing project managers real‑time visibility into schedules, resource usage, budgets and risks. Customers and stakeholders gain a clear view of progress and safety status, reducing queries and improving satisfaction. The system is configurable to your processes and supports digital documentation, versioned BOQs, KPI dashboards and integrations with existing back‑office systems so operations and finance teams inherit accurate data at handover.
​
Developed iteratively to reflect practical lessons from countless deployments, OciusX combines practical usability with enterprise controls including offline-capable field apps, automated reporting, audit trails and customizable workflows to shorten time-to-market, reduce rework and lower lifecycle costs. It’s available as a commercial product for other operators, backed by implementation support and training from the team that built it.
