Wire Düsseldorf stands as the premier global gathering for the wire, cable and fibre-optic infrastructure industry, bringing together manufacturers, process-technology developers, fibre-optic specialists and system integrators. For a seasoned telecom observer, this event is critically relevant because the physical backbone of network rollout whether for broadband, data centres or 5G/6G access hinges on cable and fibre quality, supply-chain innovations and the convergence of optical and copper technologies. Visitors explore new materials, advanced manufacturing and finishing techniques, the interplay of control systems and process automation and how these developments impact next-generation network deployments in emerging markets. With global vendors converging, the show also offers a vantage point on supply-chain security, cost-drivers, regional sourcing and how telecom equipment makers must align with cable-ecosystem innovation. It’s a must-visit for analysts and vendors alike who track the infra-layer enabling connectivity.

A structured Delegation to the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) markets provides a curated opportunity to interface with operator/regulator ecosystems across Eurasia. From the vantage of a telecom industry analyst, such a delegation is valuable because the CIS has unique regulatory, structural and infrastructural dynamics from legacy Soviet-era frameworks to rapid modernisation drives. Participation offers insight into vendor localisation strategies, spectrum/licensing regimes, cross-border fibre-routes, regional sourcing and emerging digital-economy initiatives. For Indian telecom equipment (hardware & software) manufacturer or service-providers looking to expand, this is a targeted engagement rather than a broad expo enabling deeper conversations and strategic market entry assessments.

This collaborative platform underscores the growing strategic alignment between India and ASEAN nations in the ICT and telecom arena. As an event-attendee and analyst based in India, this kind of expo is especially relevant for tracing cross-border synergies: from submarine-cable landings, digital-services exports, telecom manufacturing, network-investment flows, to policy-dialogues. It’s where Indian telecom equipment (hardware & software) manufacturer will be able to meet ASEAN operators, regulators and enabling exploration of partnerships, regional go-to-market models, smart-city roll-outs and cloud-connectivity strategies. The dual expo format offers a rich ecosystem of networking, technology showcases, bilateral discussions and region-specific insight.

Connected Britain is the UK’s flagship connectivity event focusing on broadband, 5G/fixed-wireless rollout, rural connectivity, digital-infrastructure policy and network-vendor dynamics in a mature market. For a telecom manufacturers point, the event is useful for benchmarking: how developed-market network strategies evolve (e.g., gigabit-rollout, regulatory frameworks, open-networks, rural connectivity as service models evolve). These insights can be adapted for growth markets and also enable telecom equipment/service-vendors based in India or elsewhere to position offerings in Europe or as proof-points when pitching in emerging geographies.
