“ Our RADIAFLEX radiating cable, for instance, allows wireless connectivity to be emitted from the entire length of cable. It is used in more than 50 percent of metros worldwide, helping operators overcome the challenge of delivering wireless coverage in tunnels. The newer HYBRIFLEX solution meets increased demand for fiber and power technologies to support connectivity infrastructure deployments.
“ We look after the design and manufacture of all our solutions and provide consultancy services to help customers achieve the complete coverage they are looking for, including assisting with any implementation challenges,” Jacqui continues.“ For example, many of our customers struggle with buildings that are‘ wireless unfriendly,’ especially those in warehousing and manufacturing.

We work closely with customers
to overcome these challenges and enable them to achieve the comprehensive coverage needed for both business operations and mission-critical requirements.”

Our commitment to this is reflected by a seven-figure investment over the last 18 months to update our facilities with a new burn chamber, line modernization, a new punching machine as part of the cable manufacturing process and implementing dual factory supply to always maintain consistent product availability.
