Remote working, 5G and FTTH are pushing demand for denser, easier-to-deploy fibre, finds Andy Extance
UK access network infrastructure provider, Openreach has selected a key partner to provide optical cable solutions for its new full fibre broadband network.
Accidental cable bends or operational abuse potentially degrades network quality of service. Future generation access technologies demand more reliable and resilient high capacity optical fibre networks. STL’s innovative Stellar optical fibre effectively handle the network deployment and operational abuses and enhances the reliability of network links
