In this next episode\, Vincent Celindro\, Director of Strategic Sales & Technology of Quantum Foundry joins Gary Bolton\, President & CEO of the Fiber Broadband Association and explores how municipal\, rural\, cooperative\, commercial\, and research networks can evaluate their existing infrastructure for quantum readiness. Celindro will explain how fiber type\, total optical loss\, route length\, splice history\, and aerial versus buried construction affect a network’s potential; how classical and quantum traffic can coexist on the same fiber; and why amplifier huts and other facilities may become strategic quantum nodes. The discussion will also examine the operational changes quantum networking introduces for the NOC and the evolution from trusted relay nodes available today to quantum repeaters emerging for the future. \n\nWith special guest: \n \n \n \n Register Now URL:https://fiberbroadband.org/event/ffb-2026-week-42-from-classical-to-quantum-an-infrastructure-roadmap-for-fiber-operators/ CATEGORIES:Fiber For Breakfast,Webinars ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://fiberbroadband.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/FFB_Banner-e1737140608224.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20261020T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20261020T120000 DTSTAMP:20261005T184218Z CREATED:20261005T184142Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261005T184218Z UID:10000822-1792497600-1792497600@fiberbroadband.org SUMMARY:FBA Presents - Death\, Taxes\, and the Line Item Nobody Owns DESCRIPTION: URL:https://fiberbroadband.org/event/fba-presents-death-taxes-and-the-line-item-nobody-owns/ CATEGORIES:Sponsored Webinars,Webinars ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://fiberbroadband.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/6.24.26-Sonar-featured-image.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20261020T020000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20261020T140000 DTSTAMP:20260930T150058Z CREATED:20260922T162003Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260930T150058Z UID:10000811-1792461600-1792504800@fiberbroadband.org SUMMARY:FBA Presents - What if your next fiber build could be faster\, smarter and more predictable?

Para el operador de telecomunicaciones\, cada kilómetro innecesario\, cada visita fallida y cada minuto de técnico infrautilizado es una fuga de beneficio neto que no se puede recuperar. \nEn esta sesión veremos cómo la Inteligencia Artificial está transformando la eficiencia en la gestión de los servicios en campo o Field Services: \n\n\nPlanificación con algoritmos inteligentes que optimizan rutas y agendas en segundos\, reduciendo hasta un 40% los costes de desplazamiento en zonas de alta dispersión geográfica. \n\n\nIdentificación y eliminación de las “fugas de margen” en la última milla mediante la asignación automatizada por competencias y proximidad. \n\n\nCómo la digitalización y la certificación visual de los trabajos eliminan los errores de facturación y las ineficiencias. \n\n\nDescubre cómo convertir tu departamento de operaciones en una maquinaria de precisión donde la tecnología toma las decisiones permitiendo que tu equipo se centre en lo único que importa: dar el mejor servicio al menor coste posible. \n \n \n Regístrate aquí URL:https://fiberbroadband.org/event/como-utilizar-la-ia-para-reducir-costes-y-proteger-tu-margen-en-el-dia-a-dia/ CATEGORIES:LATAM Webinar,Webinars ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://fiberbroadband.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Praxedo.png ORGANIZER;CN="Fiber Broadband Association LATAM":MAILTO:LatamChapter@fiberbroadband.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20261007T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20261007T103000 DTSTAMP:20260930T192944Z CREATED:20260921T203419Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260930T192944Z UID:10000810-1791367200-1791369000@fiberbroadband.org SUMMARY:FFB 2026 Week 40: Arkansas’s Broadband Momentum DESCRIPTION:FFB 2026 Week 40: Arkansas’s Broadband Momentum\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWith all 50 states now having approved BEAD Final Proposals\, the program is moving from planning to execution—but the process is far from settled.
