Over €100M
investment
in optical fibre
worldwide
Prysmian Group continues to sustain the
development of broadband networks,
while maintaining its commitment to
innovation and competing in the optical
fibre sector worldwide As part of a five-
year plan which ends in 2016, Prysmian is
investing more than €100m in its telecom
R&D activities and optical fibre plants
worldwide, with the aim of increasing
competitiveness of fibre products and
enhancing production capacity in order
to match demand from the market.
“The quality of the passive elements of
an optical infrastructure is absolutely
key to guarantee the sustainability of the
telecom service and also to optimise the
total cost of ownership of the network,”
said Philippe Vanhille, Executive
Vice President, Telecom at Prysmian
Group. In fact, the closer the fibre gets
to the premises, the more the passive
components’ quality becomes critical to
avoid service disruptions and high cost
of ownership. Prysmian is consistently
investing in optical innovation, in order
to improve the performance of its products
and processes permanently.
