 “The name change encompasses our current LAN activities, as well as our broader scope, recognising our evolution into other data communications applications,” said Eric Lawrence, Technical Director, Data Communications Competence Centre. “The new name clarifies our core competencies that will be our primary focus and like our other competence centres, we will provide an increased level of support to the entire Nexans group.”
Lawrence has managed the centre since its inception and has a functional reporting responsibility to Nexans’ Technical Vice-President, Michel Rousseau, in Nexans headquarters office in Paris, France.
The competence centre laboratories use state-of-the-art, proprietary tools to analyse and develop advanced cabling solutions. The Advanced Materials Development team utilises sophisticated analytical capabilities that facilitate the development of advanced materials and processes. An international team of experts in the fields of cable, connectors, materials, networking standards, telecommunications and testing supports the unit, which is part of a global network of ten competence centres, centralised by the Nexans Research Centre (NRC) in Lyon, France.
