Emtelle is Supplier of Choice for Fiber Network Build in Loosduinen, The Hague

THE HAGUE, NETHERLANDS — Emtelle, a global manufacturer of pre-connectorised, blown fiber cable, and ducted network solutions, has been appointed as a key supplier of a range of fiber optic solutions and components, as part of the collective efforts between T-Mobile Netherlands, Primevest Capital Partners and VolkerWessels Telecom. Together the partners plan to build a new fiber network in the Loosduinen area in The Hague, connecting 25,000 households to a network with speeds of at least 1 Gbps – with Emtelle’s fiber optic solutions in deployment. Preparations for the deployment started in June and construction will begin in August 2020.

This comes as a progression from a previous project in 2019 where the partners connected 32,000 homes in the Segbroek neighborhood of The Hague with Emtelle’s pre-installed fiber solutions being deployed to reach the outlined speeds. Whilst both projects are in the city of The Hague, both districts present different housing landscapes. In the Loosduinen district, most residential buildings are high rise apartments meaning Emtelle’s 2-fiber optical cable was the optimum solution for providing efficient and direct access to each home whether it be installed underground, aerially, or internally.

Henk van der Wal, operations manager at VolkerWessels Telecom explained why Emtelle was the supplier of choice by commenting: “Whilst it goes without saying that Emtelle solutions are of premium quality, its support and communication lead the way in terms of allowing networks to not only be reliable and efficient, it allows us to install a fiber optic network seamlessly. Having worked with Emtelle for many years now – including last year’s Segbroek district project – its service and supply provide us with the means of innovative deployment methods, allowing for fast deployment while causing minimal inconvenience to the surrounding area.”
