Sterlite Tech Steps into Telecom Network Solutions, Plans to Supplement Fibre Growth in the Country

Sterlite Tech, a company owned by Vedanta Resources has stepped into the telecom network market after making its name in the fibre manufacturing segment. The company has made its foray into the sector by presenting a Proof of Concept (PoC) for its latest product as Reliance Jio’s solution for last mile connectivity. In its statement to ET, group chief executive of Sterlite Tech said, “We are looking beyond fibre. We now design end-to-end network solutions for fibre-to-the-home, fibre-to-the-enterprise, and fibre-to-the-small cells.”

The executive further added that the company would not only cater to fibre but would also provide end equipment, software and deployment solution to the telco. Notably, Sterlite tech is based out of Pune and is right now engaged in the work of making a proof of concept of Fibre to the last mile or FFTx as a service platform for the Mukesh Ambani led telco.

He further added that the company would focus more on the access part of telecom networks in which the application of fibre is increasing day by day owing to the open source hardware and software. As per his statement, the easy availability of these hardware and software resources has resulted in the present scenario of network management.

Another thing which has worked in favour of the company is its merger with Elitecore Technologies in 2015 which has positioned it to market Operations Support Services (OSS) and Business Support Services (BSS) solutions to telecom giants in the Indian market. However, now the company has also arrived on the turf to compete with the likes of Cisco, Amdocs, Ciena and Juniper Networks and even, Huawei, Ericsson and Nokia.

As per the described work, the giant is involved in catering to the optic fibre infrastructure, Wi-Fi systems, software services, in-building solutions, managed services and Ethernet network services to the telcos. As per a top executive, the company designs and deploys network solutions for the telecom operators. Besides, Sterlite is also working with the former market leader, Bharti Airtel and the other telecom giant, Vodafone Idea on a pilot project.
