PROJECT COMPLETION SUMMARY FOR FP024 EMPOWER TO

Large-scale project for plug-in optical splitters

We demonstrate compact ultra-broadband polarisation beam splitters (PBSs) that can be combined with polarisation rotators and mode-field adapters into a monolithic 3D-printed structure, fabricated directly on the facets of optical devices. An optical power splitter with one input and three output ports is proposed and demonstrated for near-infrared applications in the wavelength range of 2. The device operates on the principle of directional coupling by introducing photonic crystal line-defect waveguides. LGX Pigtail Modules are available in 12-Fiber and 24-Fiber variants with armored or OSP rated pigtails up to 500-Feet.

Belgian Power Fiber Optic Cable Fittings Project

Belgian offshore contractor Jan De Nul plans to install three subsea power cables and a fiber optic cable simultaneously on several upcoming offshore grid connection projects for TenneT, introducing what the company describes as an industry-first installation approach. Since 1964, Belram has been a leading Belgian and Luxembourg distributor of connectors, cables, interconnection systems and accessories for professional power, control, data, audio, video and lighting applications. Over 500,000 fixed high-speed connections were established using fibre optic technology by the end of 2024, marking a significant milestone for the first time, according to the latest annual report from the Belgian Institute for Postal Services and Telecommunications (BIPT) revealed on Wednesday. An FTTH network (Fibre To the Home) refers to the optical fibre connection that links the customer to the provider's telecom network. The ALEGrO direct current transmission line (Aachen Liège Electricity Grid Overlay) connects Belgium and Germany over approx.

Distribution Network Automation Project

Distribution network automation raises uptime, curbs outages, and stabilizes power quality across grid-connected and islanded modes. Clear data models, time sync, and layered control help microgrid design stay maintainable, auditable, and safe as the scope grows. 50One key solution to this challenge is the adoption of distribution automation (DA) systems, which offer benefits including improved system reliability, enhanced crew safety and reduced outage durations. Distribution Automation (DA) is a collection of technologies like sensors, processors, communication networks, and switches that help utilities collect, automate, analyze, and optimize data.

Indoor optical cable relocation project in Northern Europe

The IOEMA project is aiming to establish an AI-ready, high-capacity fibre optic connection between five key Northern European markets. HANOVER, MD – Sweden's Eastern Light, a company building a series of new, international, submarine fiber-optic cable routes in northern Europe, has selected Ciena's (NYSE: CIEN) GeoMesh solution to help meet the fast-growing demand for long-haul dark fiber in the region. Fiber Deployment in Europe 2025: Where We Stand and What's Holding Us Back As Europe pushes toward its Digital Decade 2030 targets, fiber deployment has become a national priority across the continent. But despite ambitious goals, progress in FTTx and FTTH infrastructure remains uneven. With the ongoing deployment of the mega capacity fiber cable from Luleå to Berlin and with more than 2500 km of new fiber optics put in the ground during this year's first quarter, GlobalConnect's 100,000 km fiber is the largest interconnected network in the region. The Polar Connect is a Northern European initiative to obtain secure and resilient connectivity through the Arctic to Asia and North America for Research, Development, Innovation and Education.

Romanian Internet Data Center Project

Citing Knight Frank data, the Ziarul Financiar reports two new data centers totaling 40-45MW are set to be built in Romania. Romania's central-eastern European location offers rapid connectivity to both Western and Central Europe, making it ideal for latency-sensitive and multi-region redundant deployments. Land, construction, and labor costs remain significantly lower than in the Nordics, Netherlands, or Ireland. In the South-Muntenia region of Romania, a new data centre will consolidate hundreds of fragmented government IT systems, boost digital security and improve services for nearly 300,000 people. The plan is structured around six pillars: the green transition, digital transformation, smart growth, social and territorial cohesion, health and resilience, and policies for the next generation. Two new data centers with a cumulative power of 40-45 MW are considered by developers to be built in Romania, meaning total investments of almost EUR 500 million, according to data from real estate consulting company Knight Frank, quoted by Ziarul Financiar. The Romania Data Center Market Report is Segmented by Hotspot (Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca, Rest of Romania), Data Center Size (Small, Medium, Large, Mega, Massive), Tier Type (Tier I and II, Tier III, Tier IV), and Absorption (Non-Utilised, Utilised).
