Few have seen the evolution of connectivity in the UK better than Rahul Puri, the CEO of STL.

Speaking to Beyond the Cable this fall at Connected Britain, Puri talked about what's next for STL, which he says leads the way as the UK's largest supplier of fiber and data center solutions.

"Now we're seeing the next phase of growth, where you're seeing a lot of excitement from hyperscalers, data center players as well coming to the show," he said.

To position itself for the next era of connectivity, Puri said STL will remain a company that doesn't provide just standard solutions.

"We actually go out and solve for the customer's problems," he said.

Part of STL's success, he said, is that the company understands the challenges of their customers.

Additionally, with a global manufacturing presence, Puri said STL maintains a unique edge.
