Pole replacement?
« on: June 07, 2021, 07:31:50 PM »

Just curious, does this type of pole have to be completely replaced for FTTP?
How exactly do they go about it?

No, Openreach have developed a CBT to go inside the hollow poles.

Ah, a hollow pole. I'm sure there is a way that they can be used.

I think it best to wait for a comment from someone who is employed in the field of FTTP deployment.  ;)

Interesting, it must be extremely optimised compared to the on-pole variety as they look pretty bulky.

I'm just curious as before one.network pulled descriptions of work, there were a few pole replacements showing in my area.  But now a lot more work is going on and I can't tell what it is.  Probably just rodding and roping, but have to kill the time somehow...

Indeed they have .... and it is affectionately referred to as a 'squid'.  :)

Speaking of pole replacements, you think they'd notifiy the ISPs that some customers might be facing downtime because of a pole replacement...

No, I wouldn't.

Over the last 100+ years, many poles have been replaced without disturbing the active services running on the infrastructure so supported by the pole(s).

Why would you give a user a reason to ask for compensation?

That looks to be a electricity distribution pole and would be the property of the electricity supply company. If there is also any telecommunications infrastructure supported by it (it is difficult to make out), the pole would be used under the (obsolete) dual utilities pole sharing scheme.

The second image shows a mains electricity aerial drop.

I'm always fascinated with electricity distribution as its something that in this country, at least unless you're rural, is largely hidden.
