Meet Helene
Helping network operators, altnets, and access infrastructure teams source, qualify, and deploy fibre access transceivers - from GPON to XGS-PON and beyond.
Meet with Helene @ FTTH Conference15th April 2026 | Excel London
About Helene
I work with network operators, altnets, and access infrastructure teams across Europe to help them source and deploy the optical transceivers that actually run their fibre networks.
From GPON rollouts to XGS-PON upgrades and the shift away from HFC, my role is to help procurement and network teams make confident decisions - on products that are in production, properly coded, and ready to deploy at volume.
Why meet with me?
No Roadmap Theatre
Volume-Ready, Now
Coded and Compatible
If you're attending FTTH Conference, a short meeting can help cut through the noise around supplier claims and product availability. We focus on what's in production today, what the qualification path actually looks like, and how to avoid the supply and compatibility problems that slow down large-scale fibre rollouts.

These conversations typically cover PON transceiver selection, vendor coding requirements, interoperability validation, and deployment planning - whether you're mid-rollout or still evaluating your supply chain options. The aim is practical clarity, not a sales pitch.

Why XGS-PON Is Happening Now
Shipping, Not Sampling
Built for Volume Rollout
Ready for the Copper Switch-Off
The move from GPON to XGS-PON is accelerating across Europe, and most operators aren't debating whether to upgrade - they're working out how to do it without disrupting live networks or running into supply problems mid-deployment. ATOP is already manufacturing XGS-PON OLT and ONT transceivers in volume, with full vendor coding support and the traceability that large-scale access rollouts require.
Meeting with Helene isn't about what's coming - it's about what's available now, what the qualification process looks like, and how to move from evaluation to deployment without the usual bottlenecks around supply, coding, or compatibility.

Why ATOP
Direct from Source
Built for Access Networks
Validated in the Field
ATOP designs and manufactures optical transceivers in-house, with full control over architecture, testing, and production. Our access portfolio covers GPON, XGS-PON, BIDI, CWDM, and point-to-point solutions - everything from the OLT to the ONT, built and coded for real network deployments. We're also one of the only manufacturers of CSFPs - worth knowing if you're running legacy Nokia or Cisco platforms that still need support.
What sets ATOP apart is execution: predictable delivery, validated interoperability, vendor-specific coding, and the traceability that operators and altnets need when they're deploying at scale. These aren't products that exist on a datasheet - they're in live networks.

Let’s Set Up a Conversation
If you're at the FTTH Conference and want to talk through your access transceiver requirements - whether that's a live project, an upgrade evaluation, or a supply chain question - book a short meeting below. We'll focus on what's relevant to your network, not a generic product walkthrough.
No sales pitch, no pressure, just a focused conversation.
