While many states have made significant progress on the BEAD funding approval process\, CRU believes its impact on US cable demand will mainly materialize from 2025 onwards. The US market’s mid-term demand outlook is bright\, driven by multiple federal funding opportunities. \nSpecial Guest: \nChenfei Wang\, Principal Analyst\, Head of Wire and Cable\, CRU Group \n \n \n Register Now URL:https://fiberbroadband.org/event/ffb-week-10-global-optical-cable-demand-is-poised-to-grow-again-in-2024/ CATEGORIES:Fiber For Breakfast,Webinars ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://fiberbroadband.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Website-Asset-8.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240307T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240307T120000 DTSTAMP:20240228T144540Z CREATED:20240223T185918Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240228T144540Z UID:10000164-1709809200-1709812800@fiberbroadband.org SUMMARY:FBA Presents - Trusted Fiber White Paper: Help Protect Our Nation’s Critical Broadband Infrastructure DESCRIPTION:Join the Fiber Broadband Association to explore the “Measures to Define and Deploy Trusted Fiber” white paper\, published by FBA’s Trusted Fiber Working Group\, that outlines recommended measures to advance the deployment of fiber in the U.S. The whitepaper provides a complete checklist of critical factors that service providers and government purchasers can leverage to ensure the fiber they are procuring is\, in fact\, “trusted.” \nWhile the fiber broadband industry has embraced quality standards and improved performance specifications over the years to create a well-deserved reputation for long-term reliability\, global fiber standards specify only minimum levels of performance. The Trusted Fiber white paper makes suggestions for higher levels of performance beyond global standards and provides background on important guidelines that fiber purchasers should consider to ensure that the fiber they are procuring is trusted. The Trusted Fiber report contains recommendations in the following critical categories: \n• Fiber Quality\, Reliability\, and Long-Term Performance\n• National Security\n• Corporate Governance\n• Dumping and Subsidies\n• Labor and Worker Rights\n• Environmental Stewardship and Sustainability \n \n \n Register Now URL:https://fiberbroadband.org/event/fba-presents-trusted-fiber-white-paper-help-protect-our-nations-critical-broadband-infrastructure/ CATEGORIES:Sponsored Webinars,Webinars END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Bogota:20240307T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Bogota:20240307T140000 DTSTAMP:20240212T135624Z CREATED:20240212T135624Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240212T135624Z UID:10000158-1709816400-1709820000@fiberbroadband.org SUMMARY:Monitoreo de redes de próxima generación para proveedores de servicios: Kentik NMS DESCRIPTION:Los operadores de redes de banda ancha y los proveedores de servicios de hoy en día necesitan estar atentos a todo lo que hay en su red (desde el centro de datos hasta los dispositivos\, desde el borde hasta el núcleo) para garantizar una conectividad siempre activa para los suscriptores. Pero el monitoreo de redes ha estado históricamente plagado de costosos gastos generales y sistemas obsoletos que no están diseñados para las redes complejas y los equipos ágiles de hoy en día. \nÚnanse a Viviana Pereira y Tom Casey de Kentik para aprender por qué se necesita un nuevo enfoque para el monitoreo de redes\, cómo los proveedores de servicios pueden liberarse de los sistemas heredados y cómo pueden utilizar el monitoreo de redes moderno para:\n• Reducir los gastos generales y disminuir los costos\n• Consolidar herramientas de observabilidad\n• Solucionar problemas más rápido\, resolviendo y mejorando el rendimiento general del servicio con información basada en IA \nLos asistentes obtendrán información privilegiada y una demostración en vivo de Kentik NMS\, la moderna plataforma de monitoreo de red SaaS asistida por IA y sin mantenimiento de Kentik construida para 2024 y más allá.

According to AARP research\, as of November 2023\, nearly half of households enrolled in ACP were headed by adults over 50 years old. As the end of ACP looms\, many who rely on the program fear they will lose vital internet access. \nThis week on Fiber for Breakfast\, we are joined by Coralette Hannon\, Director of Livable Communities for AARP Government Affairs. Coralette will discuss AARP’s broadband advocacy efforts\, the organizations push for ACP\, and how the end of ACP will impact the older adult community. \nSpecial Guest: \nCoralette Hannon\, Director of Livable Communities for AARP Government Affairs \n \n \n Register Now URL:https://fiberbroadband.org/event/ffb-week-12-aarps-advocacy-for-affordable-broadband-and-life-after-acp/ CATEGORIES:Fiber For Breakfast,Webinars ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://fiberbroadband.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Website-Asset-8.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240321T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240321T140000 DTSTAMP:20240311T192628Z CREATED:20240311T192628Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240311T192628Z UID:10000171-1711026000-1711029600@fiberbroadband.org SUMMARY:FBA Presents - Rethinking Broadband Access Networks DESCRIPTION:Rolling out and managing profitable\, high-performance broadband access networks is becoming increasingly complex and costly. \nCisco Routed PON replaces traditional OLT chassis with a small form factor pluggable OLT in a router to deliver services cost-effectively through a software-defined network. \nJoin this webinar to learn how you can bring reliable connectivity to your subscribers\, scale your network as demands continue to grow\, and use quality of experience to stand out from competition. \nPresented by: \nTripti Shetty\, Director Product Management\, Cloud Networking Provider Connectivity\, Cisco \nBrad Riapolov\, Technical Solutions Architect\, MassScale Infrastructure Group\, Cisco \nAlbert Garcia\, Broadband & Smart City Lead\, US Public Sector\, Cisco \n \n \n Register Now URL:https://fiberbroadband.org/event/fba-presents-rethinking-broadband-access-networks/ CATEGORIES:Sponsored Webinars,Webinars ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://fiberbroadband.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Cisco_Logo_Ed-1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Bogota:20240326T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Bogota:20240326T140000 DTSTAMP:20240229T005800Z CREATED:20240222T151841Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240229T005800Z UID:10000162-1711458000-1711461600@fiberbroadband.org SUMMARY:Redefiniendo el Wi-Fi residencial\, aumentando los ingresos y el retorno de la inversión en sus redes FTTH DESCRIPTION:Dada la tendencia de crecimiento en la cantidad de dispositivos conectados\, el trabajo remoto\, el consumo de contenido en ultra alta definición\, sumado a las nuevas aplicaciones de realidad aumentada y realidad virtual\, la demanda de ancho de banda y baja latencia continúan en aumento. Para satisfacer dicha demanda\, los proveedores de servicios de comunicaciones (CSP) continúan con sus despliegues de redes de fibra al hogar (FTTH) ahora con soluciones de 10Gbps (XGSPON y otros). Sin embargo\, dado el entorno sumamente competitivo\, ya no es suficiente con desplegar fibra y vender ‘megas’. Para captar y retener clientes\, los operadores deben ofrecer una experiencia sin igual. ¡El medio de conexión utilizado por el usuario final es el aire\, y la tecnología es Wi-Fi! \nÚnase a Adtran y FBA LATAM en un seminario web interactivo sobre cómo los proveedores de servicios pueden redefinir la experiencia en el hogar con una solución Wi-Fi inteligente a la medida de los requerimientos del operador. En este seminario web\, cubriremos las tendencias del mercado y los desafíos que se presentan al operador a la hora de ofrecer un servicio Wi-Fi Premium residencial. También analizaremos los factores clave para garantizar el éxito del despliegue y los casos de uso que ayudan al CSP a optimizar la experiencia del cliente\, facilitando la monetización del Wi-Fi residencial gestionado. ¡Regístrese ahora!
