Corning Incorporated (NYSE:GLW) today announced it was twice recognised at the recent Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE) gala dinner in London, U.K.<\/p>\n
Dr. Merrion Edwards, director, Market and Technology Development, Corning Optical Communications, won the \u201c2016 David Hall Award for Best Presentation\u201d for her lecture titled \u201cSmaller Cables: Bigger Possibilities\u201d in which she showed how smaller cable form factors can simplify networks and increase capacity robustness. This individual award recognises exceptional achievement in the broadband industry. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m proud of Corning\u2019s leadership and of our innovative solutions for faster, revenue-generating infrastructure deployments,\u201d Edwards said. \u201cIt is an honour to hear not only from our customers but from the SCTE that our work is having a significant impact in the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n
Named as runner-up for the \u201cBest Broadband Network Transmission Solution\u201d award was Corning\u2019s MiniXtend\u00ae cable with Binderless FastAccess\u2122 Technology, a product introduced last year to enable fast, low-risk cable access. The award is given for technological innovation in the broadband arena for a product, system, or concept. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe are helping our customers deploy optical fibre deeper into access networks, and the idea that you can open a cable jacket in the field without sharp tools was a game changer,\u201d said Mark Van de Velde, U.K. and Ireland sales manager, Corning Optical Communications. \u201cHaving SCTE acknowledge this accomplishment is validating as we continue exploring new ways to reduce the complexity and increase the speed of deployment.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis has been a fantastic year for our awards, with an impressive selection of entries showing the scope of innovation in the industry,\u201d said Mike Thornton, president of SCTE. \u201cWe would like to express our congratulations to all of the entrants and winners for their broadband technology advancements, which are sure to have a great impact on our industry.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
