The "Breeze" micro fiber cable blowing machine is designed to meet the need for micro fiber cable installation. It will move micro fiber cable of 0.1 to 0.315 in. (2.5 to 8.0 mm) diameter at speeds to 164 ft. (50 m) per minute into pre-installed micro duct. The Breeze is compatible with micro duct O.D. from 0.197 to 0.472 in. (5.0 to 12.0 mm).

The "Tornado" cable blowing machine is designed to move fiber optic cable of 0.23 to 1.25 in. (5.84-32 mm) diameter at speeds to 300 ft./min. (90 m/min.) into pre-installed innerduct or direct-buried duct safely, even on tough terrain. It can accommodate innerduct from 1 to 2.48 in. (25-63 mm). A conversion kit allows the Tornado to place either 12/10 mm or 10/8 mm micro duct into the innerduct.

Made from fiberglass strands impregnated with a highly resilient, thermosetting resin, GMP Duct Rodders incorporate proprietary strengthening agents that provide high quality Rodder at an economical price. Continuous Duct Rodders are used to pull or push lines or cables through ducts, tubes or conduits. They are available in three nominal sizes, 1/4 in. (6 mm), 3/8 in. (10 mm) and 1/2 in. (13 mm).

ITU TELECOM WORLD 2003 Show is the meeting place for the global communications industry. 911 exhibitors representing 51 countries were present with over 375 industry's CEOs and 148 government ministers and regulators participating in the event. Exhibitors participating in the Event showcased products and services on Fixed and Wireless Broadband (fibre, ADSL, WLAN), Next-generation convergence networks, Voice over IP (including voice over ADSL), mobile data solutions and high-speed 2.5 and 3G wireless systems. In contrast with the previous WORLD event, there was less focus on technology for technology's sake, and much more focus on technology in action in real-life business environments - business communications and solutions targeting improved productivity and new revenue streams.
