HOW TO FIND SHORTLISTED PRODUCT SOLUTIONS

Shortlisted companies for the FTTH Innovation Awards will be given prominent visibility across different channels, from digital means to on-site graphics and activations at ExCel London. The FTTH Council Europe will also produce "Shortlisted for FTTH Innovation Awards" stickers to be applied to products on exhibition stands, together with banner flags positioned next to the exhibition stand, making it easier to identify their location within the exhibition hall.
