PPC blog

PPC leads the industry when it comes to training and support, and while in-person training sessions are impossible with the current COVID-19 situation, we are still working to provide our customers with the support they are accustomed to.

Some studies have shown up to 40% of broadband service calls are related to drop network issues and many of these problems could be solved by proper installations by technicians. For about 20 years, we’ve offered qualifying customers our Tech Advantage^® Training to avoid craft errors and decrease the number of truck rolls.

UPDATE: As of June 5, our efforts with R&D Design have resulted in the production of more than 46,000 visors and clips for healthcare workers, police officers, fire departments, court officials, factory workers and more.

These face shields have been distributed to those in need in Syracuse, NY; and shipped to others in Manhattan, NY; New Jersey; Beverly Hills, CA; and Los Angeles, CA. Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible!

PPC is attending two exhibition events in March with an emphasis on our fiber solutions  and products that range from the headend to the home or MDU (multi-dwelling unit). Here we’re previewing what you can expect if you visit our booths at these upcoming shows, and where you can find us in the exhibition halls.

Teams from across PPC Broadband are attending industry events in the U.S. and Bahamas in February, displaying a range of products from fiber to coax connectors. In this blog we’re highlighting what you can expect if you visit us at the shows, and where to find us when you get there.

PPC Broadband had a memorable 2019, highlighted by three acquisitions and an expansion of our fiber product portfolio. We attended 25+ trade shows on five continents, and continued to develop new products that met unique applications and solved customer challenges across the globe. We’re looking back on some of the highlights from 2019 as we look forward to the many successes to come in 2020.

Network operators are constantly striving to deliver fiber to the home (FTTH) in a way that's practical, secure and aesthetically unobtrusive.

Deploying fiber solutions to multi-dwelling units (MDUs) however, brings with it a whole new set of challenges. 

Building owners want the reassurance of a fiber product set that offers flexibility, functionality and form, as well as considering health and safety aspects.
