MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

TELECOM SEGMENT

 

GROWTH IN IP TRAFFIC

Technology has been playing a crucial role in the evolution of telecommunication that has resulted in an exponential surge in IP traffic across the globe in the past. The global IP traffic has been doubling every two years in the last decade and is expected to emulate this growth in the future as well.

 

Internet traffic continues to be the biggest component of IP traffic representing about 75% of the global IP traffic of 95 tbps in 2011.

 

OPTICAL FIBER: THE MEDIUM FOR TRANSMITTING HIGH-SPEED DATA

Though early form of optical fiber was developed in 1950’s, it was nearly a decade later that the thought of using optical fibers for communication was conceived though the commercial use happened much later. Optical fibers is what permits transmission over longer distances and at higher bandwidths (data rates) than other forms of communication. When they talk about a network backbone capable of transmitting data across the globe in real time, the sole medium capable of making it possible is optical fiber. As communication has evolved, over the past two decades, both in quality and quantity, the case for deploying more fiber has increased. This can be better appreciated by mapping the fiber deployments that have taken place in the last ten years.

 

The fiber industry has grown at a steady pace post the 2001 Internet bubble and continues to do so even now. As per estimates from CRU, the global fiber demand last year was about 215 million - fkm which is the highest ever showcasing a growth of about 10% over previous year.

 

If they observe the fiber deployment pattern globally, different regions have contributed to the growth in fiber demand at periodic intervals depending upon the respective stage of network evolution in that region. The last few years have seen mammoth growth in fiber deployments in China on the backdrop of the 3G infrastructure build up. China presently accounts for around 45% of the global fiber demand. They believe that India market with the highest number of wireless subscribers is also at an inflexion point of growth and should witness strong growth in fiber deployments in the next few years to come.

Eindhoven, The Netherlands -March 12, 2013: Sterlite Technologies Limited [BSE: 532374, NSE: STRTECH], a leading global provider of transmission solutions for the telecom and power industries, today announced that it is currently involved in several landmark Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH) deployments in the Netherlands, a country that is experiencing a significant upswing in FTTH connectivity. As a leading provider of optical fibre-based products and services, Sterlite is bringing high-speed, fibre-based broadband access to people living in the Netherlands.

 

By December 2012, Sterlite had 10,000 connected homes across 2 cities in the country. The company now aims to add another 40,000 households to the fibre-optic network by the end of 2013, thereby extending its services to 5 cities. Sterlite's scope of work includes delivery of all optical fiber passive components, project management, warehousing, logistics and product training.

 

“This is a very positive development for us and the Industry," said Pravin Agarwal, Director, Sterlite Technologies Limited. "FTTH continues to be an important driver of our business. The rollout of fibre continues to grow steadily across the globe, with over a million homes and businesses having access to fiber solutions bringing faster broadband speeds, better quality and greater network reliability."

 

In the Netherlands, Sterlite will continue to implement projects in a phased manner. This will involve deploying more than 400 km of fibre cable and 3,000 km of direct buried fibre access cable together with ducts, micro-tubes, ODF drawers and cabinets, as part of the entire project requirements to complete the FTTH installation.

 

“The key to Sterlite's success in roll­outs of complex FTTH networks has been working closely with customers to develop innovative solutions" added Ron Bron, Head-Benelux Region for Sterlite. "In fact, Sterlite is helping its customers to minimize the cost of installation, reduce delays in deployment, and design networks offering simple on-site integrations."

 

According to the FTTH council, the Netherlands currently has a Fiber-to-the-Home penetration of close to 5% and with the European nations racing towards Fiber maturity, it is expected to reach as high as 70% by the end of 2018. Being a part of this network expansion, Sterlite aims to enable a sizeable fraction of FTTH connections in households across the Netherlands.

Haimen, China - February 18, 2013:

 

Jiangsu Sterlite Tongguang Fiber Company Limited (JSTFCL), the joint venture (JV) company formed between Sterlite Technologies Limited (Sterlite) andjiangsu Tongguang Communication Company Limited (TGCI), today announced the commencement of production of optical fiber at their new facility located in Haimen, Jiangsu Province, China.

 

Sterlite is a leading global provider of transmission solutions for the telecom and power industries, while TGCI is a China-based manufacturer of optical fiber cables as well as power transmission wires and cables.

 

The greenfield factory has been set up with an investment of around US $ 25 million. China with a total annual demand of optical fiber of more than 100 million km is an extremely important market for Sterlite Technologies and this strategic investment will help the Company establish a stronger foothold in the market. While Sterlite brings expertise in optical fiber technology, TGCI brings significant fiber cable manufacturing expertise and market reach in China. With the benefits of extended product lines, Jiangsu Sterlite Tongguang Fiber Company Limited would make it faster, easier and more cost-effective for utilities and service providers to build new age communication infrastructures.

 

This joint venture leverages the strengths of two great companies to offer high-quality and competitive optical fiber to our China customers," said Pravin Agarwal, Whole-time Director, Sterlite Technologies Limited. "Additionally, it strategically positions both companies for global growth in the telecommunications segment."

 

"This partnership combines the expertise of both companies to become a technology leader for the global market," said Tang Jinming, Chairman of Jiangsu Tongguang Communication. "We look forward to continued cooperation and innovation with Sterlite to provide our customers the best in class products at competitive prices." The first phase of the project, which has started operations, has an installed capacity of 5 million km optical fiber annually and the state-of-the-art facility today provides direct employment to over 90 people.

 

Background

 

In November 2010, Sterlite partnered with Jiangsu Tongguang Communication Company Limited (TGCI) to form a joint venture company Jiangsu Sterlite Tongguang Fiber Company Limited (JSTFCL) in Haimen, Jiangsu Province, China to manufacture, market and distribute optical fiber used in the production of fiber optical cables.
