SUMMARY:FBA Presents - Advanced Fiber Modeling: Managing Connections Beyond the Physical
DESCRIPTION:Modeling the physical connections of a fiber network is not enough. To fully understand and make more efficient use of assets\, a logical component is needed. Combining physical and logical networks in one model enables providers to unlock additional business value and increase ROI by better-predicting utilization and planning for diversity. \nIn this webinar\, Hexagon experts will discuss: \n\nThe concepts of links\, channels and circuits and their role in network modeling\nModeling physical networks at the fiber strand/port level\nLayering in logical components at the circuit level\nAutomatically managing changes in a single connectivity model\n\nWebinar Speakers \n\nDon Lorente\, Technical Director\, Utilities and Communications at Hexagon’s Safety\, Infrastructure & Geospatial division\nDave Kenney\, VP of Implementation Services at Hexagon’s Safety\, Infrastructure & Geospatial division\n\n		\n					\n				Register Now

SUMMARY:FBA Presents - New Technologies to Speed Time to Market are Essential
DESCRIPTION:Any technology that breaks the status quo for how fiber broadband services are delivered should and must be adopted\, especially those that enable operators to streamline the deployment process and accelerate time to market. Speed to turning up homes enables network operators to generate revenue more quickly\, making public and private shareholders alike happy. With skilled labor at a premium\, finding workforce efficiencies through labor-lite solutions is the path more operators are taking. Such craft-friendly solutions have been found to cut up to 50 percent off the time to turn up a household or business\, enabling technicians to add one or two new installations per day – speed that turns homes passed into more homes generating revenue per month. \nWebinar Speakers \nKevin Morgan leads the marketing efforts for Clearfield as Chief Marketing Officer and joined the company in 2016. He also serves on the Senior Council Committee of the Fiber Broadband Association and previously was a three-time elected Board Chair (2015\, 2019\, 2022) after first joining the Board in 2010. Prior to joining Clearfield\, he spent two decades at ADTRAN. \nFor over 35 years\, Paul Kmit has contributed to fiber technology advancements supporting telecommunication carriers worldwide\, earning him 6 US patents for fiber infrastructure. In his current role as Technology Platform Manager at Clearfield\, he continues to leverage his broad understanding of customer needs to develop new products supporting efforts to efficiently build robust fiber networks. Prior to joining Clearfield\, Paul held various positions and ADC Telecommunications and TE Connectivity in the roles of design engineering\, application engineering\, product management and sales. \n		\n					\n				Click Here to Register

SUMMARY:FBA Presents - The Science of WiFi Extender Placement - How\, Where and Why
DESCRIPTION:In today’s hyper-connected world\, high performing WiFi has become a necessity for nearly every household. While most customers expect a seamless WiFi experience from day one\, this can be challenging for Service Providers to deliver for a variety of reasons. \nBetween customers’ preferences on router placement and varying home infrastructure\, it can be difficult for field technicians to install the ideal network configuration. Customer pushback on additional nodes can lead to poor WiFi coverage and network performance issues\, which can often turn into turn-around tech visits and in the worst-case scenario\, churn. \nIn this webinar\, Jason Moore\, CEO of RouteThis\, and Jenni Dettman\, Vice President of Marketing for RouteThis\, will cover how RouteThis can help you: \n• Optimally place equipment for ideal coverage in each home\n• Visually educate customers on CPE placement\n• Facilitate extender upsell conversations\n• Test and confirm network performance across the entire home \nWith the odds stacked against them\, technicians need a better way to install. Discover how you can deliver a flawless \nWiFi experience – with any brand or vendor of CPE – from day one with RouteThis Certify. \n  \nWebinar Speakers \nJason Moore – CEO and Co-Founder\, RouteThis \nJason Moore is the co-founder and CEO of RouteThis. As an electrical engineer with extensive experience in the SaaS industry\, Jason has worked in highly technical fields including high-bandwidth silicon for ISP data centers and consumer technology such as Thunderbolt. Prior to founding RouteThis\, Jason was CEO of Videostream\, a leading consumer video platform that quickly grew into one of the top apps on Google Chromecast. \nJenni Dettman – Vice President of Marketing\, RouteThis \nWith 20+ years of industry experience including Adtran\, DZS and Emerson\, Jenni is a seasoned player in B2C\, B2B and SaaS marketing and is passionate about enabling Service Providers to deliver the ultimate customer experience. \n		\n					\n				Click Here to Register

SUMMARY:FFB Week 13 - Electric Cooperative Broadband - Why Make Ready Matters
DESCRIPTION:As states prepare for BEAD allocations and USDA finalizes the next ReConnect rounds\, our nation’s Electric Cooperatives continue to analyze their futures in the Broadband arena. Electric Cooperatives will have a crossroads between actively providing services or playing a more supporting role in their communities\, with one common theme\, Make Ready. \nMake Ready involves the effort and funding needed to utilize existing power poles to support added infrastructure to deploy broadband and can make or break a fiber broadband deployment plan. \nWebinar Guest: \n\nRyan Kudera\, Senior Consultant\, Finley Engineering\n\nRyan joined Finley Engineering in 2022 in the Lamar\, Missouri office. Before accepting his position at Finley\, Ryan served as the Broadband Director for the State of Wyoming. Ryan has served many roles in the Telecom\, Broadband\, and Energy sectors during his 25-year career with positions including Field Operations\, Instruction\, Economic Development\, Regulation\, and Finance\, with a continued focus on Rural Broadband in the Rocky Mountain West. \n		\n					\n				Click Here to Register

SUMMARY:FBA Presents - Solving the MDU Gigabit Coverage Challenge
DESCRIPTION:Recent years have seen operators deploying fiber miles to achieve the highest possible Homes Passed metric\, with a focus on serving SFUs. In the process\, Brownfield MDUs were “bypassed” resulting in a “fiber divide” for the tenants despite the nearby access to fiber. \nYou will learn how to use Fiber Extension technologies like G.hn and leverage existing MDU wiring (telephone pairs or coaxial cabling) to solve the MDU challenge. This is attractive to Operators pushing a fiber-first strategy. We will share how Nuvera deployed the GAM and leveraged G.hn and XGS-PON OMCI integration. The additional MDU-based subscribers come with a minimal investment and maximize the return on the already deployed fiber. \nWebinar Speakers \nPierre Trudeau\, President and CTO\, Positron Access Solutions\nStephen Eyre\, VP\, Partner Operations\, Calix\nToby Hermel\, Senior Network Manager\, Nuvera \n		\n					\n				Click Here to Register
