LOC-DROP® Receives ISE Network Innovators Award


In case you missed it, Enguinuity Communications’ LOC-DROP product won ISE’s prestigious Innovator’s Award at the recent ISE Show in Texas.

According to the judges, LOC DROP was described as a “Great idea and execution. An innovative product that will reduce repair time for fiber cuts. The product can be used in a direct buried or aerial application.”

Enginuity Communications is proud to receive the ISE Network Innovators Award for the LOC-DROP® Fiber Drop Repair Solution at the 2024 ISE EXPO convention. The ISE Network Innovators Award recognizes the best innovations in telecom infrastructure and networks that address pain points for both Communications Service Providers (CSPs) and end-users.

Receiving the award further validates that the Enginuity LOC-DROP Fiber Drop Repair Solution is a critical tool in the service provider’s tool belt to effectively maintain their expanding fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) subscriber base. The LOC-DROP housing was engineered from the ground up specifically for the service provider’s growing need for a robust, cost-effective and simple fiber drop repair solution.

The LOC-DROP® Fiber Drop Repair Solution was developed based on the ISP’s need to reduce the cost to repair a subscriber outage caused by a severed fiber drop cable. With the explosion in FTTH subscriptions, the challenge the service provider faces each day is reducing the restoration cost to repair a damaged fiber drop cable.  Due to fiber’s low-loss characteristics, some service providers have increased the length of the typical subscriber drop cable from 50-300 ft to 1,000-2,000 ft. This long cable length, along with obstacles such as driveways, roadways, sidewalks, patios, etc, adds up to significant restoration cost if replacing the entire drop was the only solution. The LOC-DROP contains several design innovations to support the wide range of drop repair field conditions.”
