CommScope’s New FIST Modular Splice Closure
Prepares Network Operators for High Capacity Networks and Early
Adoption of 5G
As governments around the world invigorate broadband with
investment in digital infrastructure, the number of 5G connections
is expected to exceed one billion by 2025. The next few
years are critical to building networks that will meet the demand.
In anticipation of this need, CommScope is introducing its
FISTTM Modular Splice Closure that assists network operators
with building a fiber foundation for future networks.

Speed of deployment and shortage of skilled labor continue to be
a challenge around large fiber connectivity deployments.
CommScope’s FIST Modular Splice Closure addresses the need to keep
pace with subscriber demands using plug-and-play technology. The
modular build allows configurations on-site, reducing the need for
site inspections, and therefore decreasing rollout lead time.
The new FIST Modular Splice Closure adapts to the
constantly-changing needs of the network featuring the following
innovations:
- Gel sealing technologies:
composed of eight interchangeable and wrap around cold-seal
segments that are field and factory installable
- Wide range of cables: universal
termination for 1-27 millimeter (mm) cables
- FIST fiber management: single
circuit and single-element splice trays with high levels of
performance at high splice capacity
- Easy install: removable base
with easy access during installation and provisioning
“As we move toward connectivity for a gigabit society,
government directives, grants and subsidies are encouraging full
fiber infrastructure vital to underpinning 5G coverage,” said Ric
Johnsen, senior vice president of Network Cables and Connectivity,
CommScope. “CommScope’s new FIST modular splice closure is a game
changer as we consider it the most comprehensive upgrade to our
fiber portfolio in decades. This is the type of innovation which
will continue to gain in popularity as it helps service providers
build a stronger business case for truly converged wireless and
wireline networks.”
Digital economy is key pillar of future growth
“Fiber is a growth engine for Europe and markets around the
world,” said Erzsébet Fitori, director general of the FTTH Council
Europe. “By investing in smart innovation, governments have the
opportunity to shape the global competitiveness of their societies
and economies in a digitally managed world. Fiber infrastructure is
the foundation for innovation in key areas like IoT, mobile
computing and 5G.”
“There are a multitude of inventions that are less visible and
well-known, but which have also contributed greatly to the
communications industries. For every new smartphone, streaming
service and internet-connected gadget, there’s a network engineer
somewhere innovating to ensure the data from these devices is moved
quickly, error-free and cost-effectively,” said László Bóka, head
of Fixed Access SSC, Deutsche Telekom. “While we rarely think of
the network as the epicenter of an ongoing series of innovations,
that is exactly what it is. Its continued evolution is what enables
the services that people have come to love.”
