Since the demand for high speed broadband networks surges, fiber deployments are meant to fast-track all across the world. Large-scale outside plant fiber optic (OSP) backbone and fiber-to-the-x (FTTx) deployments tend to be be extremely stimulating, though, as they are highly complex, the cost/investment is substantial, retrieving buildings/homes is tough, skilled/experienced fiber labor is hard to procure, inexpensive time-to-market pressures are excessive, and nonetheless there are financial, legal and technical complications.

Amherst Photonics aspire to address all the given challenges by designing and developing the physical infrastructure for outside plant fiber optic (OSP) backbone routes and FTTx access networks. Founded in 2011 by CEO Brent Ware, the company involved into the designing and build of a portfolio of FTTx products that tend to bring down the expenses in the costliest aspect of FTTx networks – the cabling and installation costs of the Outside Plant (“OSP”).

Being into the field of fiber optics community for more than three decades, Brent previously founded Amherst Fiber Optics, which became the pioneering North American distribution company for all Ericsson fusion splicing products, attaining annual sales of $100 million before the company was sold in the year 2000.

Banking on more than a decade of expertise in OSP providing products for greenfield applications as well as overbuilds, the Amherst team has in-depth know how with respect to the tradition always of network design, cabling and splicing.

Continuing the same legacy, Amherst acutely aware of the several vertical markets that will help from the Hexatronic solution. These include (i) residential FTTH, (ii) rural broadband, (iii) enterprise networks, (iv) universities, (v) hospitals, (vi) municipal networks and others.

Over the years, the company has carved a niche for itself in the field of network infrastructure and installation. From air blown fiber system to local site cabling and FTTA, Amherst has emerged out as a leader of the industry like nothing else.
