Dear reader,

 

We’re delighted to present you with this year’s first issue of NExsT magazine, Prysmian’s publication on the worlds of broadband and telecom.

 

We’re taking a slightly different approach going forward: we’ll be sharing six shorter issues a year from now on, allowing us to keep you updated on the latest news and trends even better. In this issue, we take a closer look at the latest global fibre market and application trends, focusing on demand, penetration, changing drivers, and convergence.

 

There’s also news of Telefonica’s accelerated shutdown of ADSL exchanges in Spain, and Google Fibre’s new symmetrical 5 and 8 Gig connection offerings in the USA. We also examine a new record for Prysmian’s Sirocco HD cable range for FTTx and 5G networks, now available with 864 fibres!

 

As always, we would love to receive your feedback, suggestions, questions and opinions. So if there’s anything you’d like to share with us, please contact us at [email protected]
