Project description

VECTOR aims to develop and commercialize an innovative low-cost highly performing field installable connectivity system that will impact at a multi-milion-euro scale the capital expenditure (CAPEX) and the operation expenditure (OPEX) of telecom iber broadband networkds and that will facilitate the achievement of the European 2020 objectives for broadband connectivity.

The VECTOR connectivity system will comprise a fertude-less connector granting ultra-high optical performance and a fully automated installation tool allowing for field installation by a general-skill technician.
