RC Submarine Lays Fiber Through Sewers In Italy

Posted by timothy on from the let's-not-see-the-camera-view-please dept.

Francesco Fondi writes "An Italian Company is using RC scale model submarines to lay fiber through Milan's sewage system. The RC submarine used is the Neptune SB-1, produced by Taiwanese company Thunder Tiger. It costs ca $600 in US hobby shops." In Italian, but the pictures speak for themselves.
