New course on optical fibre cable deployment

Hyderabad: Sterlite Technologies, that builds and manages smarter networks, has announced the launch of SterliteTech Academy to bring about a transformation in the creation of smarter networks.

The academy brings strong expertise in optical fibre network designing, building and management through global best practices and state-of-the-art research.

Commenting on the occasion, Anand Agarwal, CEO, Sterlite Technologies, said, “Our close association with telecom operators has enabled us to understand their challenges for network deployment.

For India to progress to a knowledge-based society, it is imperative that broadband penetration improves. A big challenge to this is the lack of skilled work force in creation of data infrastructure”.

“This is acting as a roadblock for many mission critical projects in both, public and private sectors. We are happy to launch our SterliteTech Academy, through which the industry can now look forward to gaining trained and certified professionals for their broadband infrastructure and fibre deployment projects,” he adds.

SterliteTech Academy will impart extensive hands-on training and classroom sessions designed for the entire value chain in optical fibre cable deployment.

The course modules are designed considering global best practices while customising for local market needs and Indian ecosystem.

The courses are held in a lab setting based on the latest optical fibre technologies that enable individuals to deliver a perfect blend of quality and speed in deployment.

The training programme is followed by rigorous assessments and certifications.
