5G Portfolio
Over the past few quarters, STL took some bold bets to drive aggressive growth in this decade of network creation. The company affirmed that many of its strategic investments have converted into large scale revenues and new technologies have become market ready. At this pivotal point in its journey towards scalability, STL inducted global business builders as CEOs for its Optical, Wireless, Services and Software businesses.

The company also expanded its footprint in the US with 5G-ready optical products, winning new orders to the tune of ~Rs 3 Bn
- System Integration scales in the UK – The company also took some strides in its Integration business as it ramped up its UK talent base to more than 150 employees and 20 strategic partners. This greatly enhances STL’s fibre deployment capabilities in the UK
- New markets deliver greater traction – With its global expansion strategy, STL grew its business in its focus markets with ~41% coming in from Europe and Middle East and ~12% from Americas
New technology ventures ready to scale:
- 5G portfolio becomes market-ready – 5G Wireless solutions, which opened up a target addressable market of $5 Bn for the company, made significant progress in this quarter, to reach closer to revenue generation. This quarter saw the company announcing General Availability for its Indoor small cells (Garuda) and programmable FTTx offering. STL also won a pilot order for its indoor small cells with ASOCS and ramped up its radio engineering talent to more than 300 people
Since the past several quarters, STL has been gravitating towards an integrated solutions model. This strategy is now showing results as the company clocked integrated orders with optical solutions and deployment with key players across the UK and India. While delivering on these strategic pillars, STL continued to build intellectual property across businesses. The company filed 41 new patents this quarter, taking its global patent count to 678.
