THE GROUP WILL SHOWCASE LATEST INNOVATIONS TO SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF BROADBAND IN EUROPE AND DISCUSS PLANS FOR THE FUTURE <\/p>\n
Milan, 9 February 2017 – Prysmian Group, world leader in the energy and telecom cable systems industry and owner of the only European technology for the production of optical fibre, will showcase its latest innovations and discuss its plans for the future at FTTH Conference 2017, taking place February 14-16 in Marseille. <\/p>\n
\u201cWith the world moving towards a ubiquitous global fibre presence, innovation is key. There are still many new solutions to develop and new channels to markets to emerge, and we are ready to contribute with our best innovative solutions,\u201d said Philippe Vanhille, Senior Vice President of Telecom Business for the Prysmian Group.<\/p>\n
Prysmian will be in the spotlight at this year’s conference as it continues to develop and provide cutting edge products to meet the evolving needs of its customers and the telecom cable industry. <\/p>\n
As \u201cinnovation drivers\u201d of the industry, Prysmian continues to lead the way in ultra-dense cable solutions and its record-breaking cable, FlexTube\u00ae, will be officially debuted to the FTTH Council at next week\u2019s event. With 2112 fibres, FlexTube\u00ae is the highest fibre count, for a flexible micromodule-based cable, to be installed to date. It is designed to be extremely compact, light-weight and flexible and also much faster to install, enabling service providers to easily deploy record number of fibres in difficult or congested areas. <\/p>\n
\u201cAs the leaders in the industry of energy and telecom cable systems, we prosper to meet market demand for higher capacity cables. Our aim is not only to advance in providing new innovative cable designs, but to offer a complete network solution, including jointing and connectivity products,\u201d said Vanhille. \u201cWe are currently working on creating new, more advanced FTTH technology of the highest quality, with our next challenge to address how we can reduce splicing time and save our customers both time and money.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis addition to Prysmian\u2019s manufacturing capabilities confirms our Group\u2019s commitment to become the partner of choice for main telecom operators, supporting them in the realisation of some of their most important projects where quality of products and innovative cabling solutions are fundamental to meet the more and more demanding needs of modern broadband networks\u201d said Vanhille.<\/p>\n
Vanhille also highlighted the importance of working in both Telecom and Energy, stating: \u201cData and energy networks show similar trends, and with telecom devices consuming energy, it is fundamental to note the importance of aligning these two industries. Prysmian is one of the few companies to be leaders in both the Energy and Telecom businesses, which allows us to leverage more and more on synergies between these two, for example with the creation of hybrid cables able to bring both power and telecommunications, or technology for sensors.\u201d<\/p>\n
