Targetti news - FINANCE - Targetti Group: Targetti subsidiary Duratel chosen to supply Telecom Italia with electronic ADSl filters.

The order specifically regards approximately 9400 "pots splitters", filters located in telephone exchanges that allow special data traffic devices to be hooked up to a traditional telephone line.

This device, produced by Duratel on the specifications of Telecom, features both high quality and a compact size, allowing maximum efficiency in installation.

"The number of users who employ high-speed network connections, and specifically, ADSL connections, is steadily on the rise in Italy," stated Lorenzo Targetti, Managing Director of Targetti Sankey S.p.A., "and entering a market of this size and with these kinds of prospects, alongside the primary Italian telecommunications provider, is an excellent opportunity for us".

"Although this is not the Group's core business," Targetti continued, "telecommunications products are a field we have been following with keen interest, in part because of the innovative solutions we can create. In this area, Duratel's objective will also be to develop its segment of products aimed at users, and more generally speaking, to finalise supply contracts with other telecommunications providers in Italy and abroad."
