Prysmian Group Telstra Fiber Project Expands Australiaโs Network
Prysmian Groupย has teamed up withย Telstra InfraCo, Australiaโs largest telecommunications provider, to develop a newย inter-capital dual fiber path network. Theย Prysmian Group Telstra fiber projectย will install up toย 20,000 kilometersย of optical fiber cable, strengthening both national and regional internet capacity.
This long-term partnership will deliver faster, more reliable connectivity that supports Australiaโs growing digital economy.
Strengthening National Fiber Infrastructure
Telstraโs new network will link major capital cities through aย high-performance dual fiber pathย designed for greater speed and data security. At the same time, it will extend advanced broadband coverage into regional areas.
The project leverages Prysmianโs innovative technology to improve data performance, reduce latency, and deliver higher-capacity communications infrastructure across the country.
Advancing Local Cable Technology
Engineers from Prysmian and Telstra InfraCo developed aย next-generation optical cable systemย built in Prysmianโs Sydneyย R&D Lab. The design usesย high-strength, low-loss fiberย capable of long-distance deployment in challenging Australian terrain.
In addition, the system includesย Prysmianโs BendBrightยฎ G.657.A2 Low Loss fiber, which improves durability and minimizes signal loss. The cable will beย manufactured locallyย at Prysmianโs Northern Beaches factory in Sydney.
Creating Jobs Through Local Manufacturing
To support production, Prysmian is expanding itsย Dee Why, Sydneyย manufacturing plant. This investment will increase production capacity, create skilled jobs, and push Australiaโs fiber manufacturing capabilities to a global level.
Furthermore, the project will reinforce the nationโs local supply chain, ensuring faster delivery and reduced dependency on imports.
Powering the Future of Australian Connectivity
โAs demand for broadband rises, so does the need for greater fiber capacity,โ saidย Philippe Vanhille, Executive Vice President of Telecom at Prysmian Group. โThis project delivers the ultra-fast data rates and reliability required for Australiaโs digital future.โ
Through local innovation and international expertise, theย Prysmian Group Telstra fiber projectย helps build a resilient, high-speed network ready for next-generation technology.
