Prysmian Group will use CommunicAsia 2012 exhibition in Singapore as the launching pad for the latest addition to its telecoms cable system portfolio. The Company will unveil its FTTA (Fibre to the Antenna) solution – xsMobile – addressing the fast growing mobile sector of the market.

The xsMobile solutions of Prysmian Group provide the answer to a full optical fibre antenna network necessary to deliver 4G – LTE and finally LTE-Advanced services. xsMobile is built on the long experience of (copper based) mobile cable supply for the current 2G and 3G antennae.

Prysmian Group’s xsMobile solution addresses the next generation wireless broadband deployment and according to Gert Hoefman, Vice President of Telecom Solutions, xsMobile offers a full fibre optic solution for FTTA, from a flexible, easily upgradeable backhaul network through to ‘last mile’ fibre to the Remote Radio Head (RRH) in the antenna tower. “xsMobile provides solutions for three antenna tower configurations – stand alone, roof top and distributed antenna systems (DAS) to deploy FEMTO cells” explains Mr Hoefman.

Prysmian Group’s xsMobile features bend insensitive BendBrightXS optical fibre (ITU-T standard G.657.A2/B2) complemented by a suite of optical cable products (pre-terminated or field-spliced) and a full connectivity portfolio. The new product range utilizes the deployment experience of FTTH and is fully compatible with existing optical fibre networks. xsMobile provides fast, simple plug and play FTTA installation giving the flexibility for modern mobile network demand.
