L'essor des réseaux de télécommunication à l'échelle mondiale implique une forte hausse des installations de fibre optique haut débit à usage commercial et domestique. Les entreprises de déploiement de fibre optique ont tendance à privilégier une pose enterrée afin de minimiser les risques des dommages dus aux intempéries. Le micro-tranchage est donc une solution idéale pour les zones urbaines congestionnées. 2, record 1, French, - microtranchage
