As we work to bridge the digital divide across the globe\, it’s clear that we must first look closer to home: within our own projects\, processes\, and companies. \nWhy are multi-million-dollar projects still being managed on the backs of napkins? Challenges such as project complexity\, fragmented stakeholder collaboration\, and resistance to change have traditionally slowed innovation. Historically\, low R&D spending and a focus on physical assets – rather than digital transformation – have further entrenched these issues. \nBut the tide is turning. New technologies like drones\, IoT sensors\, and construction management software are revolutionizing how telecom projects are planned\, executed\, and scaled. Governments and industry leaders are also driving digital adoption to enhance efficiency\, safety\, and sustainability in the field. \nJoin us to explore how technology is reshaping telecom construction\, why embracing innovation is no longer optional\, and how your organization can stay ahead in a rapidly changing landscape. It’s time to work smarter\, not harder. \nReserve your spot today! \nPresented by: \n\nNeil Grose\, Chief Delivery Officer\, Lit Fibre\nSteve Darflinger\, Director\, Engineering & Construction Management Systems\, Wyyerd Group\nMatilda Van Duyvendyk\, Customer Experience Manager\, Vitruvi\n\n \n \n Register Now URL:https://fiberbroadband.org/event/fba-presents-hard-hats-smart-tech-accelerating-innovation-in-telecom-construction/ CATEGORIES:Webinars ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://fiberbroadband.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/VITRUVI_LOGO.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241225T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241225T103000 DTSTAMP:20241220T195115Z CREATED:20241220T195115Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241220T195115Z UID:10000330-1735120800-1735122600@fiberbroadband.org SUMMARY:FFB Week 52 - FBA 2025 Event Reveal DESCRIPTION:Join the FBA Conference Chairman and Fiber Connect Program Director for a sneak peek at the plans and programs in 2025.
