Growth in the Telecommunications and Broadcasting Sectors

The telecommunication and broadcasting industries have been rapidly evolving due to trends like increased smartphone and cable TV penetration, proliferation of Over-The-Top (OTT) media services, and migration to newer broadcast technologies such as IP and fiber networks. All of this has led to exponential growth in network traffic volumes as well as changes in infrastructure requirements. Coaxial cables play a vital supporting role for telecom and TV networks undergoing revamps.

In the telecom domain, coaxial cables are being widely used for FTTx deployments as the last mile connectivity between fiber nodes and customer points. They continue delivering linear TV and also carry high-speed internet into homes for cable MSOs and telecom operators. 5G rollouts across regions have surged the need for faster, high-capacity backhaul links between cell sites and the core using coaxial cables. Pay TV subscribers are also rising in developing nations, increasing broadcast network upgrades using coaxial transmission systems.

OTT streaming has put pressure on networks to efficiently manage traffic. Edge computing deployments are happening to reduce latencies for smooth streaming and connectivity. This involves shifting network assets closer to end-users, again driving deployment of coaxial cables. Evolving broadcast standards such as DOCSIS for cable and ATSC 3.0 for terrestrial TV have stimulated network modernization projects too. With demand across both established and new domains within telecoms and broadcasting expanding continuously, it ensures good growth opportunities for coaxial cable suppliers.

For instance, in June 2021, CommScope Holding Company, Inc., a global leader in network infrastructure solutions, announced the acquisition of the coaxial cable business of Shenzhen Kingsun Science and Technology Co., Ltd., a prominent manufacturer based in China. This strategic move aimed to strengthen CommScope's position as a leading provider of high-performance coaxial cables for various applications, including telecommunications, broadcasting, and networking.
