Sterlite Technologies Teamed Up with Australia’s Swoop Holdings

On April 9, 2025, Sterlite Technologies (STL) through an exchange filing announced that it has entered a partnership with Swoop Holdings Limited. As per the filing, Sterlite Technologies will improve connectivity for nearly 1,000 homes in Western Australia through high-speed Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH) technology.  

Scope of Partnership 

As part of this collaboration, STL will provide Swoop Infrastructure with cutting-edge optical networking and connectivity solutions, reinforcing the region’s digital infrastructure. 

This partnership builds upon Swoop’s recent acquisition of conduit and fibre assets in Seacrest Estate, near Geraldton, Western Australia, marking an important step in Swoop’s efforts to expand its fibre broadband network. The project is being led by Anthony Camilleri, Swoop’s Head of Infrastructure, as a key part of the company’s broader Fibre Broadband strategy for both retail and wholesale services. 

STL is renowned for helping network operators deploy and scale fibre networks with high-performance, sustainable optical solutions. These solutions, produced in STL’s “Zero Waste to Landfill” certified facilities, set new standards for durability and environmental responsibility in the industry. 

Solutions for Brownfield Deployments 

Through this collaboration, STL will provide Swoop with reliable Layer-1 optical solutions designed specifically for brownfield deployments, including: 

• OptoHaul – A flexible, single-fibre Plug & Play solution suitable for underground, aerial, or direct-buried installations. 

• Micro Cables – Slim, high-density fibre cables engineered for underground air-blown installation in microducts, ideal for last-mile FTTH and access networks, with options for termite-resistant jackets and enhanced tensile strength. 

• Optical Closures – Compact, pre-configured closures (MAX and MicrOTP) that simplify installation and minimize space requirements. 

• Optical Termination – Rack-mounted splicing and patching shelves (nPTD) with pre-installed splitters and a pivoting tray for easier installation at Point-of-Presence (PoP) sites. 

Conclusion 

Through this partnership, STL is playing a crucial role in enhancing the broadband infrastructure of Western Australia. By providing advanced optical networking solutions tailored to Swoop’s needs, STL is helping to ensure a high-performance and sustainable fibre network expansion.
