Introducing IntelliFOX – Intelligent Fibre Infrastructure for Intelligent Networks

A unique Australian designed and manufactured solution, providing unparalleled scalability, flexibility, and usability. The most advanced, end to end intelligent fibre infrastructure solution for the global stage.

Drivers for High-Density Fibre Optics

The global pandemic saw a new set of challenges for the world to overcome. It forced companies to work remotely and schools to teach remotely, which fast-tracked the adoption of digital technologies, ultimately putting pressure on ICT infrastructure and increasing the workload for cloud based applications.

The demand for rapid access to information from professional, social, and recreational users has been extremely challenging for Telecommunications Networks and Data Centre operators. Low latency and reliable connectivity are required to keep businesses and consumers continually connected to the digital world. According to statista.com, the total amount of data created, captured, copied, and consumed across the globe is estimated to reach 79 zettabytes as of 2021.

Even as the demand for Data centre real estate increases, network operators still need to operate profitably and maximise floor space and rack space within a Data centre. Furthermore, rapid deployment of new services, as well as the reliability and resilience of the fibre infrastructure network, can add genuine value and cost savings to a Data Centre.

Data Centre Growth

The Data Centre services market was valued at an estimated $48.98 billion in 2020. It is speculated that by 2026, this figure will increase to $105.6 billion. The main drivers of growth are:

Remote work

Cloud storage & enhanced security and privacy

Increased energy efficiency

Digitisation of existing processes and systems

Development of data-generating and data-hungry technologies, such as IoT and Machine Learning (ML).

Introducing IntelliFOX

WBT’s IntelliFOX is the next generation of industry-leading fibre optic infrastructure that elevates cable management, density, scalability and usability to the next level, preparing and future proofing your fibre infrastructure network for the next wave of growth. The IntelliFOX high-density solutions can be deployed standalone, or as an end-to-end solution in a Data Centre or Telecommunications Network.

Providing industry leading density of up to 5,184 LC ports in a single sided 300mm deep ODF footprint and utilising up to 144LC ports per RU, the IntelliFOX solution is a gamechanger for network operators wanting to deploy intelligent infrastructure, by optimising floor and rack space.

Applications include:

Meet Me Room and carrier ODF/FTP solution for splicing

Data Hall Zone frame/cross-connect ODF/FTP solution for preterm MTP/MPO distribution

Customer or Equipment rack deployment

Solutions suitable for any size Data Centre, including Hyperscale facilities

This end-to-end solution also provides scalability at RU level, with 96F and 144F LC or LC/A deployments.
