    Abstract: A method and apparatus for contactless installation of an optical fiber internet connection at a customer premises is provided, wherein the customer is provided with an interior installation kit and is guided by an installation technician. The customer remains inside the premises, selects an entry point for the fiber, and indicates the entry point to the technician using a remote detection target. The technician locates the detection target, bores a hole into the premises, passes an optical fiber in to the customer, and the customer secures an attachment mount to the interior wall of the premises to receive the optical fiber and upon which to connect and mount an optical network terminal. After the optical fiber has been connected, the customer network is activated, and the technician seals the external hole.
