60 Vol. 45 No. 3 - September 2023 Issue SCTE Corporate Member Amphenol Broadband Solutions is at the forefront of the broadband industry. Their recent strategic acquisition of Cabelcon represents a significant step towards consolidating Amphenol’s position as a leading force in the broadband industry. Based in Denmark, Cabelcon brings with it a rich legacy of innovation and expertise. With this acquisition, Amphenol Broadband Solutions is gaining access to an expanded portfolio of cutting-edge products and a broader spectrum of services, further reinforcing their commitment to delivering unparalleled broadband solutions. General Managers Darrell Galasso and Amy Andersen talk to Melissa Cogavin. Amphenol Broadband Solutions has progressed from being one of the largest suppliers of coaxial cable to a major source of broadband network equipment that spans copper, fibre and wireless topologies. To what do you attribute that growth? DG: It goes back to our strategic approach as a company. If you look back to some of our larger customers in Europe, we were a cable provider and we would provide some ancillary products like a splitter, an amplifier, anything that fit into that coaxial network. The world has changed a lot though. There has certainly been an acceleration over the last three or four years; there is now a huge demand to move towards fibre and speed. We can ensure our customer gets a full solution within this broadband space. We’ve done it through strategic acquisitions and by marrying up some of our sister companies to serve these larger customers. Ultimately it’s really about serving this expanding fibre network and ensuring that they get the full solution they need.
