Digital network integrator, Sterlite Technologies (STL) has signed definitive agreements to acquire Italian interconnect vendor, Optotec.
Power over Ethernet (PoE) could help service providers adapt to the opportunity provided by IoT in order to remain competitive, argues Ankit Agarwal
Now available from Sterlite Tech is the FTTx MANTRA (Massive Agile Network Transformation), an end-to-end FTTx-as-a-service solution. This is designed to allow swift roll-out of fibre-to-the-point (FTTx) networks at the scale, latency and agility needed to meet future requirements of 5G, Internet of Things (IoT) applications, for global communication service providers, data centres and citizen networks.
Sterlite Tech has added 15 million kilometres to its optical fibre cabling capacity, bringing it up to 33 million in a move which saw the board of directors approve a Rs 320 crore ($44 million) capital expenditure, which will be financed through a mix of internal accruals and debt.
Sterlite Tech has signed definitive agreements for the acquisition of Italy-based, specialised optical fibre and cable manufacturer Metallurgica Bresciana S.p.A (Metallurgica).
Sterlite Tech launched four new products spanning fronthaul and fibre to the home (FTTH) network technologies at this year’s ANGA COM in Cologne, with the unveiling of the Airblown Micro cable; Micro cable - 4mm; Micro Bullet Series Cable; and the Riser Cable.
Amongst its range of integrated silicon to software capabilities, Sterlite Tech brought to the recent OFC 2018 event its new Smarter FTTH Plug and Play kit for telecom operators and ISPs.
The new kit is designed to minimise installation time, taking it from weeks to hours, as well as reduce the need for skilled manpower for splicing and cable slack issues for telecom operators and ISPs.
The plans for an economic recovery will undoubtedly need vast levels of public and private investment.
