Wire & Cable ASIA – November/December 2007 20
Prysmian Telecom Cables and Systems
really have put the show on the road –
with a major roadshow covering much
of Europe.
The latest initiative to support the
growing uptake of Fibre To The Home
(FTTH) technology in Europe got
underway on 4th September in the UK
and visited the Netherlands, Denmark,
Norway, Sweden, Germany, Czech
Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary,
Austria, Slovenia, Italy, Spain and France.
The adoption of FTTH is expanding
rapidly around the world and activities
in Europe are now finally gathering
momentum with many municipalities and
local authorities – as well as the more
traditional telecom operators starting to
build optical ‘last mile’ networks.
The roadshow featured a specially
constructed, interactive exhibition trailer
full with Prysmian’s latest FTTH passive
product solutions blown fibre, minia-
ture blown cables, pre-connectorised
customer solutions, new vertical riser
systems for multi dwelling units and a
range of new FTTH connectivity pro-
ducts. Information was also available
on Prysmian’s range of optical fibres,
including CasaLight TM, the bend
insensitive fibre developed by Prysmian
specifically for FTTH applications.
