Since the late 20th century, Prysmian has been working closely with companies in Tunisia. The Menzel Bouzelfa facility, inaugurated in 2015 and boasting over 400 workers, helps develop FTTH technology for the developing Tunisian market as well as Southern Europe, with customers including Orange, Telefonica and Telecom Italia.

At one Conference session, Laurent Gasca held a speech entitled ‘What can we learn from the deployment of FTTH networks in the ‘old’ Europe?’. “In the last miles, these industrial deployments are supported by ‘new’ technologies such as bend insensitive fibre, micromodule cables or preconnectorized solutions. There are some analogies between cities in Europe and in the MENA region. In both regions, most of the cities are ancient, with a long building history. I think we can really leverage our 10 years of European experience in FTTH deployment as there are many similarities between the two regions. Small to medium sized businesses could be a very important driver in the Tunisian market. They need high speed, reliable internet connections. We are facing similar requests in many low-density population European regions where small and medium enterprise are requiring fibre connections, which are vital for them.”
