ROSTOV-ON-DON, Russia, May 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Corning
Cable Systems GmbH & Co KG, part of Corning Incorporated's
(NYSE:GLW) Telecommunications segment, has recently completed a
multi dwelling unit (MDU) trial project for Southern
Telecommunications Company (STC) in the city of Rostov-on-Don with
the support of its distributor in Russia, JSC Technocom, and the
construction company, CJSC Business Computer Center. During this
trial, Corning Cable Systems successfully installed its innovative
Evolant Solutions(R) Ascend(TM) MDU System into the Rostov-on-Don
apartment block using Corning SMF-28e(R) XB bend-improved fibres in
the building riser. These advanced technologies and solutions were
specifically selected by STC to ensure that when connecting 79
apartments within the MDU, the residents would be assured of high
optical performance and minimal disruption during the installation.
"High-rise apartment buildings and MDUs are the major residential
architectures in urban city environments," said Mr. Dmitry Koftun,
head of technical development service in the Rostov-on-Don branch
office of STC. "We chose Corning's Ascend(TM) MDU System to be one
of the technologies in our testing program because these buildings
provide many challenges. During the trial, we were able to witness
firsthand how preconnectorized solutions, which eliminate the
requirement to break out fibers at floor leve,l resulted in a
faster riser installation without the need for rework. This
technology will enable future customers to be quickly and easily
connected without the need for any splicing." The Ascend(TM) MDU
System, part of Corning's Evolant MDU Solution set, was deployed
for the "Homes Passed" phase of this project, and in the near
future, the first customers will be connected using Corning(R)
ClearCurve(R) bend-insensitive fibres terminated with Corning Cable
Systems OptiSnap(TM) Connectors on the customer side. For more
