Whilst keeping at the leading edge of telecommunications technology with its Broadband, transmission (SDH and TPON) and radio systems, Fujitsu has, in Europe, become a major national supplier of External Network Support Services to a number of Telecom Operators. With access to over 700 operatives, 300 fully equipped vehicles working from eleven sites Fujitsu currently offer a full range of services from turnkey, including network planning, safety and risk assessment and statutory body co-ordination, civils and cable provision, through to labour only supply as part of a team contract.
