On September 18, CommScope announced that it has licensed AFL to manufacture CommScope Prodigy universal fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) hardened connectivity solutions.
Koen ter Linde, CommScope’s SVP and president of Connectivity & Cable Solutions, said the Prodigy solutions were designed to be the foundation for the next generation of FTTH hardened connectivity.
“Prodigy solutions are universal, sustainable, and optimized for rural installations where both space and skilled labor resources are limited,” said Linde in a press release. “Together with AFL, we’re making these advantages more widely available to support tomorrow’s FTTH deployments and ensure broadband for everyone.”
CommScope reports that its Prodigy line provides seamless backwards compatibility with historical hardened connectivity solutions and enhanced density when deployed as a complete system.
Marc Bolick, president of product solutions at AFL, said in the same press release, “As a leader in fiber optic solutions, we recognize the clear advantage in interoperability and ease-of-use that Prodigy offers, and we’re looking forward to providing these licensed solutions to our customers in support of tomorrow’s fiber networks.”
