In Europe, the process of fiber expansion is very different. In Germany, for example, while more than 70 percent of households in Germany still rely on old DSL technology, 93.63 percent of households in Sweden already have access to fiber connections. How did Sweden manage the rollout so quickly and efficiently?
One of the factors that led to the success of the Swedish model was the "true" open access model, which contributed to the high usage or subscription rate (over 60%) of the fiber network. Open access allows users to choose between multiple service providers within a fiber network and switch easily, much like liberalized energy markets. This leads to higher usage, price competition and innovation.

Another factor is digitisation. Given the high staffing requirements in the field, it is not surprising that labor costs account for 80 percent of total costs. Coordinating resources with the right skills, machinery, equipment, permits, etc., requires effective planning. Digital processes are the key to effective control and automation of most jobs.
Sweden's optical fiber industry in Europe is ahead and gradually standardized in fiber optic equipment at the same time, demand for fiber optic test and ops will also gradually increase, compared with less chance of fiber industry market itself, fiber optic test and operational market is gradually expanding.
Tips:
Fusion Splicer,a kind of optical fiber repair tool
The working principle is to melt the sections of two optical fibers by high-voltage arc, and then fuse the two optical fibers into one by gently advancing the two fibers with high-precision motion mechanism, so as to realize the coupling of optical fiber mode field.
Optical fiber fusion splicer is mainly used in telecom operators, engineering companies and institutions of optical cable line engineering construction, line maintenance, emergency repair, optical fiber device production, testing and research institutes, teaching.
