HFCL Introduces Innovative Eka™ Fiber at FTTH Conference 2025

At the FTTH Conference 2025 held in Amsterdam, HFCL Limited, a prominent player in advanced telecommunications solutions, introduced its cutting-edge Eka™ Optical Fiber. This launch marks a significant stride towards redefining connectivity within the European telecommunications landscape. Designed collaboratively with European telecom operators, the Eka™ fiber addresses persistent FTTH (Fiber to the Home) challenges in rural Europe and urban areas, meeting demands for 5G backhaul while aligning with the European Green Deal priorities for future-proof connectivity.

Advancements in Fiber Technology

The HFCL Eka™ fiber is specifically engineered to respond to the surging demand for reliable, scalable, and forward-compatible broadband infrastructure across FTTH networks, metropolitan areas, and long-distance communications. It boasts significantly low attenuation levels and macro-bending performance that exceeds ITU-T G.657.A1 standards, ensuring minimal signal loss and exceptional resilience—an essential feature for high-density deployments in both urban and rural environments in Europe. As a single-mode fiber, Eka™ delivers reduced optical losses and enhanced transmission capacity over long distances, making it the ideal choice for telecommunications companies aiming to refine last-mile connectivity and support 5G rollouts effectively.

Key Features of HFCL Eka™ Optical Fiber

• - Compliance with ITU-T G.657.A1 Standards: Seamless integration with modern fiber infrastructure.
• - Minimized Signal Loss: Outstanding low attenuation guarantees unparalleled signal efficiency over extensive ranges.
• - Superior Macro-Bending Resistance: Surpasses G.657.A1 standards, catering to tight curves in dense deployments.
• - Versatile Applications: Optimized for FTTH, metropolitan, and long-distance networks, enabling scalable high-speed connectivity.

Harsh Pagay, Chief Executive Officer at HFCL, emphasized the strategic significance of the Eka™ fiber, stating, "For us, fiber optics is not merely a product but a partnership. In Europe, where telecom companies strive to balance ambitious sustainability goals with the urgent need for hyper-scalable networks, we are committed to co-creating solutions like Eka™ that alleviate complexity. Our teams prioritize close collaboration, ensuring that every deployment aligns with Europe’s unique regulatory, environmental, and performance requirements. It’s not about selling fiber but about building infrastructure that grows with communities."

Commitment to Innovation and Sustainability

The launch of the Eka™ fiber underscores HFCL's ongoing commitment to innovation and environmental sustainability. This commitment is particularly evident in its state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities located in Hyderabad, Goa, Chennai, and Hosur, which produce high-quality optical fibers, including diverse fiber cable designs and accessories tailored for data centers. HFCL is recognized across more than 30 countries as a trusted partner for telecom operators, businesses, and governments, providing integrated solutions backed by robust R&D centers in Gurgaon, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad.

The FTTH Conference 2025 serves as an excellent platform for HFCL to showcase the potential of the Eka™ fiber and its transformative role in shaping the digital landscape of Europe. Attendees are invited to visit the HFCL booth to explore Eka™, engage with industry experts, and discover how this innovative fiber solution is set to revolutionize future connectivity.
