STL [NSE: STLTECH], a prominent provider of optical and digital solutions, has announced a successful collaboration with Wyre to support the growth of their expansive multi-gigabit Fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) network. Wyre’s approach is to collaborate with partners to deploy fibre throughout Flanders and Brussels in Belgium, all while being mindful of their environmental and social impact. This strategy helps streamline the fibre rollout process and minimize disruptions caused by construction. To achieve this, Wyre sought a design and manufacturing partner capable of delivering practical and effective solutions that align with their values of collaboration and thoughtful progress.

Understanding Wyre’s needs, STL responded with its adaptable design and manufacturing expertise. Wyre required a compact, connectorized, and flexible connectivity solution tailored specifically to their requirements. STL’s team worked closely with Wyre to co-develop a custom solution that perfectly aligned with Wyre’s goals.

With almost 20 years of experience in the region, a manufacturing facility in Italy, and a strong focus on co-creation, STL is well-equipped to support Wyre’s broadband expansion and high-performance network needs. In this partnership, STL will provide cutting-edge optical cables, including high-fibre count and loose-tube designs, along with its signature OptoBlaze and OptoBolt products, and advanced solutions such as 288F Closures. To ensure timely and efficient deliveries, STL has partnered with Wirewave, a distributor of top-quality fibre-optic cables and infrastructure.

“At Wyre, we prioritize working with partners who share our commitment to delivering practical, impactful solutions. STL’s expertise and collaborative approach are essential in helping us efficiently deploy fibre across Flanders and Brussels while minimizing our impact on local communities and the environment. This partnership represents a major step towards bringing high-speed connectivity to more people,” said Philip Cauwel, Head of Technology and Strategy at Wyre.

“We are honored to be a trusted partner for STL, ensuring seamless and timely deliveries to Wyre to support their ambitious network rollout goals,” said Kurt Pleysier, CEO of Wirewave. “Together with STL, we are committed to advancing Wyre’s mission of delivering high-speed connectivity across Flanders.”

Rahul Puri, CEO of STL’s Optical Networking Business, commented, “Our customers are at the core of everything we do. We’re confident that our co-innovation and collaboration with Wyre will continue to grow in the years ahead. By working together, we’re able to create high-performance, future-ready networks that meet the ever-changing needs of a digital-first world.”
