Mobily – HDPE & Corrugated Duct Solutions for Metro & FTTH Networks

110 mm Corrugated Ducts with Sub-Ducts, 50 mm / 32 mm / 20 mm Fiber Ducts & Complete Passive Infrastructure Support

Mobily operates one of Saudi Arabia’s largest and most advanced metro duct networks, supporting FTTH, FTTX, smart-city deployments and fiber backbones across major cities. Their metro duct model allows contractors and telecom operators to access pre-installed conduits, drastically reducing civil works and accelerating fiber rollout.

To support this infrastructure, Mobily relies on high-performance HDPE and Corrugated Duct systems, including 110 mm main ducts with multiple sub-ducts, and smaller diameter ducts such as 50 mm, 32 mm and 20 mm for distribution, access and drop fiber routes.

Mobily’s Passive Metro Duct Strategy

Mobily’s metro duct corridors are designed to:

✔ Minimize Civil Excavation

By providing ready-to-use duct pathways across metro areas.

✔ Support Multiple Operators

Shared duct corridors reduce cost and eliminate repeated road cutting.

✔ Enable Fast FTTH / 5G Rollout

Compact ducts allow quick fibre blowing and future upgrades without new trenches.

✔ Provide High-Capacity Multi-Duct Pathways

110 mm corrugated mains with multiple internal sub-ducts allow parallel fiber feeds for different services and tenants.

✔ Ensure Long-Term Reliability

Ducts must withstand road traffic loads, heat, UV exposure and Saudi soil conditions.

Challenges in Metro Networks (and Mobily’s Engineering Solutions)

1. Urban Congestion

Limited trenching space and heavy traffic.

Solution: Compact ducts (20–32–50 mm) and multi-way corrugated ducts.

2. Mechanical Stresses

Road traffic loads and shallow installations.

Solution: Corrugated 110 mm HDPE-CD with high stiffness and crush resistance.

3. Future Fiber Requirements

Growing demand for FTTH and 5G.

Solution: Multi-duct corridors allowing new cables without digging.

4. Operator Sharing

Multiple operators needing the same pathway.

Solution: 110 mm ducts with several internal sub-ducts.

5. Heat & UV Exposure

Harsh Saudi climate.

Solution: UV-stabilized HDPE, thermally tested materials.

Common Mobily Duct Types & Sizes (Industry Standard for Mobily Projects)

Mobily’s network typically uses the following ducting standards in metro and FTTH deployments:

🔹 110 mm Corrugated HDPE Duct (HDPE-CD) – Main Metro Duct

OD: 110 mm corrugated
High pipe stiffness and strong crush resistance
Used along roads, sidewalks, manholes and metro corridors
Available in configurations with 5 internal sub-ducts
Ideal for high-capacity OSP routes

🔹 50 mm HDPE Mini-Duct

Used as intermediate duct between manholes
Common for feeder routes to cabinets and access nodes
Strong, flexible and ideal for blowing operations

🔹 32 mm HDPE Mini-Duct

Used in distribution networks
Popular for shorter metro runs and building access
Works with blowing and pulling equipment

🔹 20 mm HDPE Micro-Duct

Used for FTTH drops, building lead-ins and micro-trenching
Very low friction, suitable for air-blown fiber
Flexible and easy to install in narrow civil pathways

Typical HDPE-CD Configuration for Mobily Corridors

Mobily-compatible suppliers commonly provide:

110 mm Corrugated Duct + 5 Internal Sub-Ducts

Sub-duct options: 20 mm, 32 mm or 33 mm
Outer duct is corrugated for flexibility and crush resistance
Ideal for congested metro ducts and road-crossing routes
Supports future fiber expansion without new diggings

These multi-duct systems allow simultaneous fiber runs for:

FTTH
5G small cell backhaul
Enterprise connectivity
Redundant fiber paths

How Mobily Uses These Duct Types in the Field

✔ 110 mm Corrugated Mains

Used as backbone metro ducts along streets, main roads, walkways and utility corridors.

✔ 50 mm / 32 mm Sub-Ducts

Used inside manholes, outdoor cabinets, OSP routes and distribution networks.

✔ 20 mm Micro-Ducts

Used for last-mile FTTH and building entry points.

✔ Multi-Duct Configurations

Enable each operator to use different sub-ducts, preventing network conflicts and reducing civil costs.
