- This event has passed.
Join our webinar to explore the vital role technicians play in expanding and maintaining networks across rural, remote and urban areas. We’ll address the significant challenges involved in attracting, training and retaining technicians, as well as the challenges posed by high-fiber count demands—an important topic considering the shortage of trained field technicians across the industry.
Our experts will discuss solutions to these challenges, specifically easy-to-use test and inspection solutions that automate test processes. These innovations enable accurate and fast testing with minimal training, ensuring reliable operation of fiber and transport networks. Convenient, automated devices allow even new technicians to work like an experienced professional. Equipping new employees with automated test tools reduces training time and improves overall job efficiency. This approach is crucial to successfully supporting emerging technologies within today’s rapidly evolving networks.
Attendees will learn:
- How to identify connectivity challenges faced by today’s operators,
- Ways to use field automation solutions to help relieve technician and skills shortages,
- The benefits of centralized and remote fiber monitoring,
- How centralized and connected portable test equipment maximize quality without increasing headcount,
- How automation and job management provide visibility into progress and quality of deployments to ensure all steps are completed as per operator standards and MOPs.
