Prysmian and Cabelte Join forces in Portugal FTTH Business
Milan, 17 December 2009 - Prysmian Telecom Cables and Systems and Cabelte Cabos
Eléctricos e Telefónicos, S.A. have signed an agreement under which they will jointly develop and
market
FTTH (fibre to the home) solutions in Portugal, extending to include also
Mozambique and Angola. The agreement will bring together the strength of Cabelte's local production
of optical fibres and fibre optic cable together with the considerable experience and broad
portfolio of solutions provided by Prysmian in the field of passive optical networks.
Portugal is currently
one of the fastest growing FTTH environments in Europe with plans in place to
provide maximum fibre penetration into the access network giving high speed broadband services to
the majority of the country's inhabitants over the next few years.
Director of Prysmian's global telecom business Mr Hakan Ozmen commented "This is an
important partnership for both of our companies. Cabelte has a deep understanding
of the local environment and great experience of supplying high quality cable in the region.
Together with Prysmian's
FTTH systems such as
VertiCasa,
Sirocco and
Quickdraw, I am confident we can provide an optimized solution for the needs of
the Portuguese marketplace" Mr Tiago Neiva de Oliveira, CEO of the Cabelte Group added "Our local
market is destined to become a focus for FTTH in Europe. The experience of both companies in fibre
optic systems, from project design to production and field implementation will keep us a step ahead
as the
prime equipment supplier for access networks. The differentiation we create here
can also be repeated in other countries where we are active."
