For telecommunications companies (Telcos), the core of every network is the central office. It’s the foundation needed to support the demand for new connectivity, capacity, and speed. As 5G applications drive transformation in fibre-to-the-premise networks, evolution within the central office is required to support the new infrastructure. Our fibre optic hardware, which includes frames, housings, and cassettes, and cable assembly solutions are transforming to help you support your subscribers wherever they live with faster and improved performance.
