With the global transformation towards web scale networks that enables 5G
and Internet of Things technologies, Sterlite Tech was getting multiple
queries from its customers in US, EMEA and India for a new, dense network
capability that enables extremely high data speeds and low response time.
Here is a case study on how Sterlite Tech addressed this requirement
through its FlashFWD technology.
Addressing this requirement and to accommodate
multiple cable needs wherein telecom service
providers could cater to their customers demands
Sterlite Tech developed the innovative 5G Ready
Network Solution named FlashFWD with
864 fibre count to optimise cable usage, lower
TCO, provide future-proofing, and address the
needs for effective utilisation of networks
In its 864F version, FlashFWD features 6
ribbon tubes to address demands of customers in
high network congested areas in the present and in
the future. The USPs of the cable includes easier
distribution, branching and splicing of fibres in the
form of ribbon tubes as compared to loose tube
design. 864F bre count cable proved as the first
step towards growing needs of high data
demand in India.
Our customers reaped its benefits of armoured
designs and efficient use of limited duct space due
to high fibre count. With special low-bend
sensitivity, the cable provides high bandwidth and
excellent communication transmission property.
The all new FlashFWD category is from NABL
Certified plant and complies with the latest global
standards of IEC.60794 series, ANSI/ICEA
S-87-640, Telcordia GR-20, ITU-T
Recommendations, CPR approved for LSZH
versions.
In the wake of growing awareness around Internet of
Things (IoT) and the use cases it presents to global
businesses and consumers, 5G will open a new era
of opportunities for telecom operators and
ecosystem partners world-wide. Internet of Things is
also likely to provide a $15 billion market opportunity
for Indian businesses by 2020, according to officials
at Department of Telecom (DoT). Combine this with
the unprecedented growth in the number of
smartphone users in India, which is expected to
overtake the US in terms of smartphone shipment by
2019. Analysts are optimistic that India will hold
around 15% of the world’s smartphone market share
by that period – Indian consumers are ready for 5G

To address the deployment requirements and to
match global benchmarks for this ribbon cable
technology, Sterlite Tech also provided a series of
technical engagements in order to increase
customer’s knowledge and awareness through its
Sterlite Tech Academy. The Academy has specially
designed modules to create Smarter Network
Professionals equipped with the necessary skills to
plan, deploy and maintain all kinds of fibre
networks. The course modules are structured
keeping in view the market needs and the skill sets
that are the need of the hour.
