The private fiber network market is expanding to address rising needs for reduced latency\, better reliability\, and lower operational costs. Although many types of facilities benefit from having their own private fiber networks\, the security\, performance\, and economic aspects are especially important for data centers. \nThis webinar will highlight: \n\nThe definition of a private fiber network\nThe markets that benefit from using a private fiber network\nThe advantages of deploying a private fiber network\nKey steps to a successful implementation\nConsiderations for the pre-development phase\n\nPresenters: \n\nPhil Fischer – Data Center Solutions Director\, Black & Veatch\nSteve Gaul – EDS Solutions Manager\, Black & Veatch\nMike McDaniel – Project Development Manager\, Diode Ventures\n\n \n \n Register Now URL:https://fiberbroadband.org/event/fba-presents-private-fiber-networks-for-future-ready-data-centers/ CATEGORIES:Sponsored Webinars,Webinars ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://fiberbroadband.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/BV_Diode_Logo.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240110T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240110T103000 DTSTAMP:20240103T133424Z CREATED:20240103T133424Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240103T133424Z UID:10000132-1704880800-1704882600@fiberbroadband.org SUMMARY:FFB Week 2 - Broadband First: Access to Fiber Internet Surpasses 50% of U.S. Households [New Research] DESCRIPTION:Fiber-optic cables are the gold standard for broadband infrastructure. The backbone of the internet utilizes fiber\, and without it\, the internet as we know it today would not be possible. With their unparalleled data transmission speed and reliability\, the technology poised to become even more critical. They will not only cater to escalating data consumption but also enable innovations in artificial intelligence\, virtual reality\, and smart cities\, fundamentally reshaping our interaction with technology and each other. As such\, tracking fiber penetration across the U.S. broadband market provides valuable insights into technological adoption and accessibility. Tracking penetration is difficult\, however\, because data on adoption of specific technology types is often not publicly available. \nOur presentation highlights an innovative approach to address this gap. We have developed a machine learning algorithm capable of analyzing vast amounts of raw speed test data to identify which tests were conducted over fiber connections. This is based on the unique performance benchmarks of fiber technology. Preliminary results are promising\, showing an accuracy rate of approximately 95%. Join us as we uncover the potential of this technology in enhancing our understanding of broadband infrastructure’s evolution. \nGuest Presenter: Tyler Cooper\, Editor-In-Chief\, BroadbandNow \nTyler Cooper\, BroadbandNow’s Editor-in-Chief\, has over a decade of telecom experience and is a featured speaker at conferences like Net Inclusion 2020.
