Partner Communications Company Ltd. Selects OFS InvisiLight® Drop Solution for Fiber to the Home (FTTH) Network

ROSH HA'AYIN, Israel and NORCROSS, Ga., Oct. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Partner Communications Company Ltd. (NASDAQ and TASE: PTNR), a leading Israeli communications provider, has selected OFS' InvisiLight Drop Solution for use in its FTTH network. 

The OFS InvisiLight drop solution features an outdoor-rated EZ-Bend^® cable which transforms to a 900 µm cord inside the living unit. This solution is optimized for the aggressive bends required in Multiple Dwelling Unit (MDU) and in-home applications. The 900 µm cord enables fast, reliable, and virtually invisible fiber installation within the customer living unit. It includes OFS EZ-Bend fiber, with bend performance better than ITU Recommendation G.657.B3. The EZ-Bend fiber offers low bend-related loss throughout the wavelength ranges expected for future electronics upgrade cycles for long-term network reliability and upgradeability. 

"The use of the InvisiLight Drop Solution for our FTTH deployment enables Partner to provide service to our customers in a truly differentiated manner. The finished product is clean and our customers are very pleased with both the look and the service. The use of EZ-Bend fiber gives us confidence that the network will be viable for decades to come, ensuring support for future technologies", said Yonathan Sudmi – Director of Fiber Infrastructure Division of Partner.

"We're pleased to partner with Partner to help them provide a truly world-class customer fiber deployment experience. We welcome Partner and their customers to the list of millions of satisfied EZ-Bend and InvisiLight fiber end-users worldwide", said Mark Graveston, Director Sales and Marketing, EMEA Cable and Fiber for OFS.
