Smart Grid, Smart City, Smart Building, Smart Factory…

… all these emerging concepts are based on sensing & data exchange

None of them are possible without Optical Fibres 3

Of all the available connectivity technologies,
Fiber is the less energy consuming

BendBright ® - Evolution of Reduced Diameter Fibres BendBright ® – Bend performance
Same Core…. Smaller Fibres
BendBright gives manufacturers the ability to design cabling
solutions which were previously impossible to create, but are now
demanded by today’s access networks

BendBright ® – Digital Security G.657.A1 200um
G.657.A2 BendBright XS 200um
By tight confinement of the optical power within the fibre, BendBright
fibres improve digital security of optical networks BendBright ® – Future-proof and reliability
Future optical systems utilize longer wavelengths to augment network
capacity

Standard optical fibre Bend-insensitive fibres Next-generation FTTx and BendBright fibres preserve the

Innovation enables a greener Telecom infrastructure
“Doing more with less”

Products that are:
Smaller
More robust
Easier to install

Networks that are: ✓ Long lasting & Futureproof infrastructure 6
Of a higher density ✓ Less maintenance operations
Cheaper to build ✓ Less civil works, digging, soil handling
Greener ✓ Shorter installation time
✓ Lower Installation costs
© Prysmian Group 2020 ✓ Using Less plastic materials
✓ Less weight to transport
✓ Less Packaging
✓ Less invasive solutions in the public space

Innovation ----> Sustainability
Advanced optical cable systems contribute to long-term sustainability
commitments by reducing CO2 foot-print of telecom infrastructure

Significant reduction in emitted CO2 per FTTH
and mobile connection

Less waste generation due to less cutting loss
