CYTA, OTE

and Deutsche Telekom to headline the operator-led speaker line-up
in Berlin

The FTTx Summit Europe is set to explore the advances in
deployment and implementation of fibre networks throughout the EMEA
region. The issue of ensuring maximum customer take-rate has never
been more important as the FTTx market becomes fiercely competitive.

The three-day event being held between 23 - 25 April 2013 at the
Estrel Hotel, Berlin, will address the most important issues in FTTx
take-rate including how to develop profitable fibre networks.

FTTx Summit Europe is the only operator-led event in this field,
and this year's Summit will once again showcase an unrivalled
programme of operator case studies led by CTOs, Directors and Senior
NGA experts from over 20 different countries.

The conference will lead with industry-first case studies from
international operators and service providers including Andorra
Telecom, SFR, Eircom, KPN Netherlands, Telefonica Europe, CYTA and
Deutsche Telekom.

Samantha Pullan, Conference Director & Production Lead at Telecoms
IQ, the company organising the event commented: "The 2013 Summit
looks set to be the most exciting yet. With key operators from across
Europe and the Middle East already on-board and brand new presenters,
the event is fast becoming THE meeting place for leaders in this
space to network and brainstorm with their peers."

FTTx Summit Europe will offer extended networking and interactive
sessions creating an open forum for debate and discussion to really
get to the heart of fibre challenges.

Marcus Weinkopf, Vice President Regulatory Affairs Wholesale &
Network, at Deutsche Telekom, said about last year's successful
event:

"A fantastic opportunity to network with experts from across
Europe and discover how to develop a successful fibre network
strategy."

With over 70% operator attendance at the 2012 Summit, the 3rd FTTx
Summit Europe is shaping itself as the 'must attend' event in the
market.
