SUMMARY:FFB 2026 Week 12: Tight Today\, Transformational Tomorrow: A Historic Moment for Fiber
DESCRIPTION:FFB 2026 Week 12: Tight Today\, Transformational Tomorrow: A Historic Moment for Fiber\n\n\nFiber demand has reached a historic inflection point. In this episode of Fiber for Breakfast\, Mike O’Day\, head of Corning’s Optical Communications business joins Gary Bolton\, President & CEO of the Fiber Broadband Association and shares his perspective on a remarkable growth cycle as innovation accelerates and AI takes center stage. \n\n\nMike explains how broadband expansion and the rapid buildout of AI infrastructure are reinforcing one another — creating shortterm supply pressure\, but an even larger\, longterm opportunity for the industry. \n\n\nToday’s market is tight because the opportunity is big. Mike will discuss how Corning\, celebrating its 175th year\, is staying close to customers\, investing in capacity\, innovating to solve customer problems\, and strengthening partnerships with rural operators. Mike will also highlight Corning’s commitment to support BEAD with BABA-compliant components through the life of the program. \n\n\nMike describes a virtuous cycle where more AI infrastructure leads to new AI applications\, which fuels broadband demand — which in turn requires more AI infrastructure. \n\n\nThe takeaway is clear: BEAD and AI aren’t competing priorities — they’re part of the same growth cycle\, with benefits extending far beyond fiber to communities and the broader digital economy. Register now to attend! \n\n\nWith Special Guest \n \n		\n					\n				Register Now

SUMMARY:FBA Presents - What’s Replacing Legacy GIS in Fiber Broadband Planning
DESCRIPTION:As fiber deployments accelerate\, broadband providers and utilities are under pressure to plan and manage networks more efficiently while working with increasingly detailed\, location-based data. Legacy GIS tools and manual workflows can make it difficult to keep up with design demands\, answer neighborhood-level questions\, and scale network management. \nHosted in collaboration with the Fiber Broadband Association (FBA)\, this webinar brings together Enghouse and Esri to discuss how modern GIS platforms support fiber broadband planning. The session explores how geospatial analysis\, design automation strategies\, and GIS-based workflows help streamline fiber network planning and management across broadband providers\, small operators\, and utilities. We’ll also look at how Esri provides the GIS framework\, and how Enghouse builds on that foundation with usability and automation designed for fiber networks. \nWhat you will learn \n\nHow GIS supports fiber planning using geospatial and neighborhood-level analysis\nUsing AI-powered Natural Language GIS in network planning and design\nPractical design automation strategies that reduce manual effort and improve consistency\nWhere AI fits today in supporting network management and optimization\nHow a modern GIS approach helps streamline fiber planning and network management\n\nWho should attend \n\nFiber and broadband service providers\nSmall and regional operators\nState and local governments (municipalities) involved in broadband planning or oversight\nNetwork planning and engineering teams\nGIS managers and geospatial analysts\nUtilities and electrical companies deploying or managing fiber networks\n\n\n\nPresented by: \n \n		\n					\n				Register Now
