We produce the wire cutters which are needed to install the optical fibre and this is carried out using an expensive polished diamond. We will develop a new technology which will replace the diamond and so make our installation tool cheaper and more reliable. This will make optical fibre networks cheaper to install and allow semi-skilled technicians and hobbyists to use optical fibre networks.
