Foreword

WELCOME

Dear reader,

We’re very proud to present this new issue of NEXST magazine, Prysmian’s publication on the worlds of broadband and telecom. As ever, we’re exploring several current themes and developments.

Find out about 5G and fibre developments in France, the Middle East and the USA, with news of national broadband plans and challenges. You can read all about ways of monetising FTTH and discover expert views from Prysmian’s most recent successful NEXST event in New York City.

In technology news, we take a closer look at realising full 5G with combined fibre, backhaul, innovations from Prysmian Multimedia, and a revolutionary cable drum management solution from Alesea.

Prysmian Group would love to hear your feedback, suggestions and opinions. Any questions? Ideas for articles? If there’s anything you’d like to share with us, please contact us at [email protected]
