Few have seen the evolution of connectivity in the UK better than Rahul Puri, the CEO of STL.
As a longtime attendee of Connected Britian, Puri said he’s seen the event grow with the UK market.
Speaking to Beyond the Cable this fall at Connected Britain, Puri also talked about what’s next for STL, which he says leads the way as the UK’s largest supplier of fiber and data center solutions.
“Now we’re seeing the next phase of growth, where you’re seeing a lot of excitement from hyperscalers, data center players as well coming to the show,” he said.
To position itself for the next era of connectivity, Puri said STL will remain a company that doesn’t provide just standard solutions.
“We actually go out and solve for the customer’s problems,” he said.
Part of STL’s success, he said, is that the company understands the challenges of their customers.
Additionally, with a global manufacturing presence, Puri said STL maintains a unique edge.
Puri also said experiences during the pandemic years go have cemented the global urgency to advance fiber connectivity.
He believes the UK has made great strides in recent years, joining a growing list of markets that benefit from the economic development that comes with modern connectivity infrastructure. Puri added that many economies can add as much as half a percent to their GDP, just with a robust fiber network.
