Swisscom, the Swiss telecommunications company, is opting for Huber+Suhner
products and systems for the provision of fibre optics to households. Over the
coming years, the global specialist in electrical and optical connectivity based in
Pfäffikon and Herisau, Switzerland, will supply fibre management systems for
local exchanges to the Swiss market leader.
With currently more than 1.7 million fixed network broadband connections,
Swisscom is a leading player in the growth market of broadband
communication. Swisscom has used fibre optics technology for many years,
initially to connect its exchanges and later for business customers. By deciding
to bring fibre optic links into private households, the telecoms supplier is
meeting the growing need of customers in the multimedia and
telecommunications sectors for greater speed and convenience. This makes
applications such as HDTV and teleworking possible, with faster uploading and
downloading of large quantities of data.
With its fibre optics division, Huber+Suhner is among market leaders in fibre
optic management and fibre optic connectivity. Successes with innovative
system solutions, connectors and special cables for the rapidly growing Fibre to
the Home domestic and international markets, are drivers of growth of
Huber+Suhner fibre optics. In addition there are products for antenna feed lines
(Fibre to the Antenna), as well as industrial applications.
As a first step, Huber+Suhner will supply Swisscom with fully equipped,
customer-specific “LISA” high-density fibre optic management systems, initially
for the exchanges in Basel, Geneva and Zurich. Huber+Suhner also supplies
cables to transport data from the switching station to the home on the basis of
new, special fibre optics and low-loss connectors.
Urs Kaufmann, CEO of the Huber+Suhner Group, has described this large order
from Swisscom as “a great success in the domestic market, which underscores
our leading position in the future-oriented growth market of broadband
communication.”
