Japan-based fiber optic product manufacturer Furukawa Electric has announced a contract to provide optical cables and connectivity accessories to Mexican triple play operator Izzi Telecom. The supply contract is valid for two years. Furukawa fiber optic cables and accessories will help Izzi Telecom’s migration activities.
Izzi Telecom plans to migrate existing copper-based and hybrid fiber co-axial networks to full fiber network. The project will start in Monterrey and will be as the basis for izzi Telecom to define its commercial offer strategy, as well as its network topology. In total, the project will provide 8,000 kilometers of optical cables – which will replace the carrier’s hybrid cables (HFCs). The new network has the potential to reach 1.6 million homes passed.
Furukawa added that its plants in Latin America will receive an additional investment of USD 4 million to support the project, with initial deliveries starting in January 2019. Furukawa will provide it’s Cascade System to izzi telecom. The main differentials of Cascade System are related with the increase in the speed of construction of the network, and its topology, that allows the modular growth of the network, according to the “Pay as you Grow” concept
This fast deployment solution is based on the application of two basic concepts, first, the use of balanced and unbalanced splitters in the same network for an FTTH (Fiber To The Home) application and the second, the use of cables and pre-connectorized boxes. These two concepts together applied to an FTTH network, bring a greater speed in the construction of networks, in addition to making it simpler and safer. Eliminating faults and field rework. An additional advantage is ease of maintenance since the use of standardized and pre-connectorized products provides a much simpler, easier and faster job.
