Service Description

Optical fibre fusion splicer during SM and MM fibre splicing — ITHOPE measurement lab for optical network deployment and maintenance
Optical fibre fusion splicer in action — splicing singlemode and multimode fibres with an attenuation measurement report.

Optical networks are now the fundamental building block of all high-performance, reliable data networks. Because we employ professional technicians, we offer our services even to those who do not yet have the necessary equipment and know-how.

Service Plans (Flat Rate)

For a monthly flat fee, we offer 24/7 service support for work on your optical network. We can also arrange to hold basic materials for maintenance. Response time and service availability are set individually by contract. Individual operations are then billed according to the standard price list or contractual terms. Holding of special spare parts is also possible.

The price for individual operations is set by agreement and specified in the service contract. It depends on the network scope, services provided, and contract length.

Why Use Optical Cables

We live in an era of increasing demands for higher network data throughput — fast internet access, IPTV, video on demand. A single HD TV programme, even after MPEG-4 compression, has a data rate of 19 Mbps. Optical fibres help solve these challenges:

  • Transmission capacity of an optical network can reach tens of Gbps, with data transmission distances of tens of kilometres.
  • A two-fibre optical cable for indoor installation is up to half the weight and thickness of metallic UTP.
  • Immunity to EMI — an optical cable can be run in parallel with 230 V power wiring without interference.
  • No fire risk from overheating or sparks — fibres do not conduct electricity.

Types of Optical Fibres

Multimode (MM)

  • Core diameter: 50 and 62.5 µm
  • Wavelengths: 850 nm (Gigabit), 1310 nm (100 Mbit)
  • Light source: LED (more cost-effective technology)
  • Reach: up to approx. 2 km

Singlemode (SM)

  • Core diameter: 9 µm
  • Wavelengths: 1310 nm and 1550 nm
  • Source/detector: semiconductor laser
  • Reach: tens of kilometres

Connectors We Work With

Every optical fibre must be terminated with an appropriate connector. Commonly used connectors for both MM and SM fibres:

  • SC
  • FC
  • LC
  • ST
  • E2000

For diagnosing signal quality and detecting macro/micro bends, we use the MultiFiber Pro Optical Power Meter and other measurement tools.

MultiFiber Pro Optical Power Meter — measurement instrument for attenuation testing and bend detection on SM/MM optical fibres
MultiFiber Pro Optical Power Meter — professional optical fibre attenuation tester for both SM and MM networks.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How does IT outsourcing work for a smaller company with no in-house admin?
We offer flat-rate management: regular checks of backups, antivirus, Windows Update, monitoring of servers and network devices, plus reactive support (phone / remote help / on-site visit). A typical company of 10–30 employees pays 8,000–18,000 CZK/month for a complete package within the agreed SLA.
Do you come to the customer, or do you handle everything remotely?
We combine both. Minor issues (software installation, VPN setup, fixing a printer) we resolve by remote access within minutes. Larger jobs (server replacement, cabling, data migration) we handle on site. We cover Brno and the South Moravian Region, and by arrangement the whole Czech Republic.
Do you migrate to Microsoft 365 / Exchange Online?
Yes — migration from on-premise Exchange, Google Workspace or IMAP is a routine job. We plan the MX records, perform a cutover or staged migration with the full e-mail history, set up MFA, conditional access and third-party backup (M365 has no native archiving). Customers experience no downtime.
Can you help with NIS2 and cyber security?
Yes — we carry out an entry audit against NIS2 (both organisational and technical measures), prepare the policies, and set up EDR/MDR, network segmentation, logging into a SIEM and an incident-response plan. For small companies we can scope it so it does not cost millions — the basics can be covered within 6 weeks.
How do you handle company data backups?
The 3-2-1 principle: three copies of the data, on two different media types, one off-site. Typically: production → a local NAS with snapshots → cloud (Azure / AWS S3 / Wasabi). We use Veeam, and for M365 Altaro / Acronis. We test restores regularly — a backup you never restore is not a backup.
Do you have experience with Windows Server and Active Directory?
Yes — we manage AD domains from 2003 through Server 2022, handling upgrades, FSMO role migrations, Group Policy, DNS, DHCP, encrypted file servers, RDP / RD Gateway and Windows Update Services. If you need a domain built from scratch, we can do it on greenfield within 1–2 days.
What if we already have another IT provider but want a second opinion?
We carry out independent audits: we come in, check licences, backups, security and GDPR, and produce a report with recommendations. The report is in plain language (not marketing waffle) and includes estimated budgets. You can then use the findings in any decision — including keeping your current provider.
How quickly do you respond to an incident (server outage, breach)?
Under the flat-rate service we respond within the agreed SLA, and critical incidents (a whole server / ransomware) are handled as a priority. Without a flat rate we respond as fast as we can, but priority goes to flat-rate clients. If you have an active breach, call immediately on +420 775 556 063 — disconnecting from the network and calling us is the first step.
