CommScope and Emtelle Partner on “First of Its Kind” Solution for FTTH in North America
Emtelle and CommScope recently announced their collaboration in manufacturing hardened connectivity for blowable fiber optic drop cable. “CommScope’s Prodigy® solution, which supports ubiquitous legacy hardened connectivity, will be combined with Emtelle’s blowable fiber optic micro-cable as the first offering of its kind in North America.”
Emtelle’s REVOLink3™ cable, “a versatile pre-connectorized 3-in-one drop cable”, paired with CommScope’s Prodigy technology leads to the companies’ solution for fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) deployments. With this partnership, Emtelle can manufacture drop cables pre-terminated with the Prodigy universal FTTH connector. This allows Emtelle to add an option to their portfolio that leads to faster rollouts, cost savings, and flexible integration across varying network environments.
Tony Rodgers, Emtelle Group Chief Executive, said, “Emtelle is renowned throughout the world for producing innovative, ground-breaking solutions that not only simplify the installation process but also set new standards in the passive network solutions industry. Our REVOLink3 is the perfect example of this: since its introduction it has been hailed as a major leap forward in telecommunications infrastructure technology. To that end, we are delighted to be collaborating with CommScope to combine REVOLink3 with their proven Prodigy solution. Together this new, unique hardened connectivity will set a new benchmark for FTTH deployment in the North American market.”
“We’ve always been proud of the innovative technology behind the Prodigy solution which allows it to service multiple types of terminals, and we’re now pleased to see it utilized with a pushable and blowable fiber solution,” noted John Chamberlain, VP Technology, Connectivity and Cable Solutions, CommScope. “We are excited to collaborate with Emtelle through this agreement. The interoperability, speed and simplicity provided with the Prodigy solution makes it an ideal option for the next generation for FTTH hardened connectivity and it’s great to work with Emtelle to extend its availability in the North American market.”
