Smartoptics announced that NOVOS FiBER, a growing ISP in Texas, has partnered with Smartoptics to maximize fiber utilization. The flexible and cost-efficient Smartoptics solution helps the ISP deliver affordable high-speed internet to Texas communities. Launched in the Dallas-Fort Worth area in 2023, NOVOS FiBER aims to bring high-speed fiber internet to families and small businesses across Texas and beyond.

Reaching communities regardless of size and offering affordable prices are a high priority. The first major fiber deployment is in the vicinity of Arlington, Texas. Smartoptics open line systems, 400G optics and muxponders were selected as the most cost- efficient way to light up new dark fiber.

The Arlington deployment utilizes a fully redundant architecture and spans distances over 100 km. NOVOS FiBER will also benefit from the flexibility to add alien wavelengths at no additional cost with open line systems and run multiple low-cost 100G links on a single dark fiber pair with the DCP-404 muxponder.
