Prysmian announces major new operator deals in Vietnam and Indonesia

Prysmian Cables & Systems, one of the world's leading players in the cable industry, has announced major contract wins in both Indonesia and Vietnam ahead of its plans to exhibit at CommunicAsia 2009 - Asia's leading communications and IT exhibition and conference, taking place in Singapore from June 16th – 19th.

Prysmian, which will showcase its latest range of Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH) technologies at CommunicAsia2009, is set to undertake a pilot project for PT. BIT Technology Nusantara, installing analogue digital converter equipment at the BTS Hotel in Jakarta.

The initial phase of the project will see nearly 300 km of high fibre count cable, manufactured at Prysmian’s factory in Indonesia, installed in Jakata, with further implementation scheduled for the Surabaya and Medan areas.

A second contract won in Asia will see Prysmian provide optical cable for a major telecommunications corporation in Vietnam.

The $8.6m deal for almost 10.000 km of optical aerial cable is to be rolled out across north, central and south Vietnam during 2009.

Eugene Tay, Commercial Director Telecom – ASEAN, commented: “The introduction of innovative systems and solutions throughout Asia is critical to the region’s infrastructure growth needs.

“Prysmian is committed to the continued provision of effective networks for clients across the Asia pacific region, and in turn, the maintenance of product innovation and development in line with growing demand.”

With its ASEAN headquarters in Singapore and factories in Indonesia, Australia and China, plus offices in Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia, Vietnam and Hong-Kong - Prysmian is truly a local and global company.
