Valdor Technology International Inc.(TSX-V: VTI) (OTC: VTIFF) (Frankfurt: VZAA) reported that a fifth Canadian telecom acquired a Valdor 1:32 harsh environment splitter. These telecoms provide hardwired telephone service to more than 90% of the Canadian population.
The most recent “Canadian Census” reports there are 12,437,500 households in Canada. The most recent “Industry Canada SME Research and Statistics” reports there are 1,107,540 employer businesses in Canada. This is a total of about 13,500,000 sites throughout Canada to connect FTTx. According to the “Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission”, effective 2013, Canadian market penetration of FTTP was 2.9% and FTTC was 23.5%. As end-users demand higher speeds in FTTx, the telecom with the highest quality network will gain the most market share.
Mr. Ron Boyce, Executive VP Sales & Marketing, states: “We designed our 1:32 harsh environment splitters to be rated for temperatures of -55°C; before they leave the factory, we test and document every module from -65°C to +110°C. We know of no other splitter that is rated for better than -40°C and many rated at -40°C begin to fail before they reach that temperature. It is our intention to provide much needed support for the roll-out of FTTx in locales that are subject to harsh, and especially extreme cold, environments. The only region of Canada not subject to cold winters is the Lower Mainland of British Columbia.”
