Light Brigade's portfolio of instructor-led, fiber-optic skills training and fiber-optic tool and product distribution is expanding with the addition of air-blown fiber (ABF) training, equipment and field support services for the FTTx market.
Light Brigade and JETTING AB have signed an OEM distribution agreement that will see Light Brigade become a stocking distributor for JETTING's unique line of fiber blowers and provide on-site services for training and support throughout the United States.
Light Brigade will provide national coverage through its additional distribution centers in Dallas, Texas and Clinton, South Carolina. Additional centers are expected to be added in the future.
In August 2020, Light Brigade was acquired by HEXATRONIC Group AB, a global leader in blown fiber optic system solutions, fiber optic products and training services. Since 2019, Hexatronic Canada has been supplying JETTING ABF equipment to the Canadian region.
In the words of Martin Lee, President of Light Brigade, "Fiber optic skills training is our core competency and it was natural for us to combine the need for blown fiber to install growth with our expertise in training the industry workforce. With the addition of regional training centers and the expansion of our business, we are well positioned to provide the on-site field support services that network operators require.
