LINKING COMMUNICATIONS TO COMMUNITIES
The Prysmian Group’s cable solutions are designed to support
the development of the world’s telecoms infrastructure.
As the world’s largest producer of telecoms cables, supporting
the infrastructures of many of the world’s leading telecoms
operators, the Prysmian Group delivers optical fibre and copper
cabling solutions that help link communications to communities
around the globe.
Our Telecoms business is made up of three business units –
Telecom Solutions, Optical Fibre and Multimedia Solutions (MMS).
Telecoms Solutions
This business covers the main product sectors of optical cable,
(for land, overhead and sub-aqueous applications), copper
multipair telecom cable (including xDSL technologies) and
a full range of optical passive connectivity solutions.
For optical cable Prysmian Group is the world leader in terms of
market share and is a main supplier to many of the world’s leading
telecom operators in Europe, the Americas and the Asian regions
including Australia. Similarly, we are one of the world leaders
in the supply of copper telecom cable, with the global capability
to meet the requirements of major operators in all continents.
In addition to the supply of high-volume cable, generally
to national and international specifications, the company has
developed a unique range of optical systems – under the
xsNet
brand – which addresses the particular requirements of the ‘last
mile’, access network. The FTTH market is currently growing
rapidly in line with the growth in broadband demand – driven
by the current explosion in high bandwidth services and the
need to provide more and more megabits to the end user.
Optical fibre
Prysmian Group is also a world leader in this highly specialised
field. With production based in Europe, North and South America
and using the most sophisticated manufacturing processes,
including PCVD (Plasma-activated Chemical Vapor Deposition)
and OVD (Outside Vapor Deposition), Prysmian Group is able
to supply a wide range of fibre types to suit every application –
single-mode, multimode and fibres for special applications.
MultiMedia Solutions
The cables produced within the Telecom Solutions business are
generally for application at national or regional telecom operator
level. However, we also produce optical and copper cables for use
in other applications, such as studio cables for radio, TV and film;
signalling cables for railway network systems; coaxial RF cables;
connections between base station and antenna in mobile
networks; copper and fibre cables for short/medium distance
applications in offices and data centres etc.
All of these types of cable design – and more – are produced
within the MultiMedia Solutions (MMS) business unit.
