HFCL Reignites European 5G and FTTH Advances with Cutting-Edge Optical Fibre Facility in Poland
BERLIN, March 20, 2024—HFCL Limited (HFCL), a distinguished technological corporation renowned for its advanced integrated communications solutions, has unveiled its plan for a revolutionary optical fibre manufacturing plant in Poland. The announcement, made during the FTTH Conference 2024 in Berlin, a pivotal fibre optic summit in Europe, marks a strategic initiative to cater to the burgeoning requirement for optical fibre cable (OFC) across European markets, advancing the roll-out of 5G and Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH) services—cornerstones of Europe's aim to achieve gigabit connectivity by 2028.
The impending digital transformation enveloping European nations has set ambitious goals, such as the UK's Project Gigabit, Germany's Gigabit Strategy 2030, France Très Haut Débit, and Spain Digital 2025 Agenda. These national projects underscore the surging demand for optical fibre cables, particularly in Germany, Belgium, France, and Poland. The inadequacy of traditional copper cable networks to keep up with escalating data needs and policy mandates to expedite fibre deployments further emphasize the necessity for robust optical fibre infrastructures to support contemporary connectivity demands.
According to forecasts, Europe's optical fibre cable market is poised to see a compound annual growth rate of about 4.5% over the next five years, with an anticipated demand of 90 million fibre km per annum by 2028. Projections from the FTTH council predict approximately 308 million EU homes to be equipped with FTTH connections by this time, expediting the network deployments by three to five years. This rapid progression signals a skyrocketing demand for OFC, ensuring that equipped regions are ready to meet this future connectivity demand.
In response to this increasing demand, HFCL, an optical fibre cable market leader, will initially invest Euro 15.9 million (INR 144 crores) into its Poland-based manufacturing facility, starting with a production capacity of 3.25 million fibre km. This capacity is projected to surge substantially as future advancements dictate. With an impressive portfolio serving over 60 customers in Europe, HFCL produces a diverse range of optical fibre cables including high fibre count micro cables, micro duct, micromodule, FTTH, ADSS, underground, and aerial cables.
HFCL has built a reputation for innovation, providing products that adhere to stringent global standards while also being tailored to meet the unique challenges of each customer within remarkably fast turnaround times. With an enduring commitment towards environmental sustainability, HFCL's manufacturing processes are not only highly efficient but also environmentally benign, thus significantly minimizing the company's carbon footprint. In embracing their ethos of excellence, HFCL received the gold level honor at the Merit awards and the Lightwave Innovation Award for its high fibre count Ribbon Micro cable.
This strategic move to introduce a manufacturing plant in Poland is aimed at bolstering HFCL's service delivery to existing and potential customers, substantially cutting transit time by approximately six weeks, and consequently enhancing order fulfillment capabilities. Strategically aligning with potential regulatory shifts, this decision promotes localized manufacturing and augments competitiveness in the region. The establishment of this facility will be executed with the support of a newly incorporated step-down subsidiary in Poland, falling under the auspices of HFCL B.V., a fully owned subsidiary in the Netherlands.
