Dear Reader,

 

We’re proud to present you with this year’s fourth edition of NExsT magazine, Prysmian’s publication on the worlds of broadband and telecom.

 

In this issue, we’re examining the current state of the fibre market. We took a close look at the State of Broadband 2015 report, published by UNESCO and the United Nations Broadband Commission. Peter Cochrane, futurist, entrepreneur and advisor to international industries and governments, explains how lagging fibre rollout will adversely affect our societies and economies. How can mobile backhaul be a driver for FTTH? How is fibre adding value to homes in the USA? Find out more in this issue…

 

Of course, there are several Prysmian updates: you can read about our involvement with the Europacable Industry Charter, which guarantees product quality, and the Construction Products Regulation (CPR), which guarantees safer products. There’s also news of several recently opened and refurbished plants and other new investments in sustaining global broadband development.

 

 

Of course, we’d love to hear your feedback, questions and opinions. Any topics you’d like us to cover? Anything you’d like to share with us? Please get in touch at [email protected].

 

Finally, as the year draws to a close, we would like wish you and yours a wonderful, joyful holiday season and a prosperous new year!
