FIBRE OPTIC & COPPER CABLING and ultra-fast Internet access for all , by investing in research and innovation , promoting digital literacy skills and enabling even more people to access ICTenabled benefits . Very highcapacity networks are also seen as increasingly important for education , healthcare , manufacturing and transport .
From its Scottish headquarters in Hawick , Emtelle has been progressively expanding its international operations to create a strong European presence to address its growing global customer base . The recent acquisition of Moore GmbH , a German manufacturer of microducts and HDPE ducts for the telecoms and renewable markets , will ensure that Emtelle can meet the fast-growing , worldwide demand for blown fibre , driven largely by the huge growth in Internet usage , including the Internet of Things .
The acquisition is part of a major € 30 million investment by Emtelle in its manufacturing plants across Europe . The company now has two sites in the UK – in Jedburgh and Hawick in Scotland – as well as in Scandinavia and now Germany , making it well-placed to serve over 50 markets across the world .
‘ The ability to speed up the deployment of fibre will be key to the achievement of the European Union ’ s Digital Agenda .’
The appointment of a new sales director for Sweden , Finland and the Baltics , Peter Schulte further underpins the company ’ s international expansion .
In addition , the company has recently announced its new 2f Nano Cable G657A2 optical fibre for the FttX market , designed to be installed into fibre-flow microducts and tube bundles by blowing , pulling or pushing . It is a small diameter lightweight product with an ultra low friction sheath and thermoplastic layer for high quality protection . This is one of a range of products the company is developing that will help to meet the European objectives by allowing rapid deployment of fibre ever closer to the end user .
The targets the EU has set itself are ambitious and visionary but a necessary step towards embracing the benefits that a fully digital society can bring . The industry is determined to achieve it and we are proud to have taken so many important steps , from strategic , acquisitions , to new international appointments and product developments that will help us to play our part in this important initiative !
