Nexans Wins Romanian Deal

PARIS -- Nexans, the worldwide leader in the cable industry, has been awarded a 15 million Euro contract by Atlas Telecom Network Romania, a private Romanian telecom operator, for the supply of 2,300 km of fiber optic (FO) cables and approximately 6,000 km of copper telecom cables.

Atlas Telecom Network Romania is developing a project for 20 important cities in Romania, including the capital Bucharest, to provide data and voice services, based on DECT(a) technology. For this project, Nexans will deliver ADSS (All Dielectric Self Supporting) FO cables and copper telecom cables for xDSL applications.

The Group's technical solution supports VDSL applications with demonstrated performances and should also cover future applications.

Yvon Raak, Executive Vice President, Nexans' Europe said: "3 years ago, Atlas Telecom Network Romania developed a pilot project in Oradea, based on DECT technology, where Nexans supplied FO and copper telecom cables, as well as the accessories. We are delighted to work on a new project with this operator. Our Group's proven competence in copper and FO cables has permitted us develop new solutions, in a very short timeframe, specifically adapted to this project."
