After three consecutive years of revenue declines\, the market is projected to grow at just a 0.3% CAGR through 2030\, with another dip expected in 2025 before a potential rebound in 2026 driven by DOCSIS 4.0 and XGS-PON rollouts. Jeff Heynen\, Vice President of Broadband Access and Home Networking Research at Dell’Oro Group\, joins Gary Bolton\, President & CEO of the Fiber Broadband Association\, to break down what this means for network operators — from timing infrastructure investments and managing capital amid macro uncertainty to balancing fiber expansion with cable upgrades and planning for moderating bandwidth growth. The message is clear: disciplined deployment decisions over the next three years will shape long-term competitiveness and ROI. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWith Special Guest \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n Register Now URL:https://fiberbroadband.org/event/ffb-2026-week-22-broadband-access-and-home-networking-forecast/ 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:20260528T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260528T160000 DTSTAMP:20260428T143427Z CREATED:20260428T143427Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260428T143427Z UID:10000696-1779980400-1779984000@fiberbroadband.org SUMMARY:Webinar: Backbone óptico en centros de datos de colocation: cómo convertir la infraestructura física en una ventaja competitiva DESCRIPTION:Webinar FBA LATAM: Backbone óptico en centros de datos de colocation: cómo convertir la infraestructura física en una ventaja competitiva\njueves\, 28 mayo\, 2026 at 15:00 EDT \n \n \n Regístrate aquí\n \n \n \nLa expansión global de los centros de datos de colocation está elevando la infraestructura de backbone de fibra óptica a un tema central en la agenda ejecutiva. Esta presentación expone cómo las decisiones de diseño de la topología backbone —incluidos los modelos de interconexión Meet-Me Room\, la distribución de fibra de alta densidad y los esquemas de escalabilidad modular— impactan directamente en la continuidad del negocio\, la seguridad operativa y la capacidad de crecimiento sostenible. \nCon base en estándares internacionales y en prácticas líderes de la industria\, se demuestra que las decisiones sobre arquitectura física y terminación de fibra trascienden el ámbito técnico. Se trata de decisiones estratégicas que definen la eficiencia operativa\, la diferenciación competitiva y la capacidad de un operador de colocation para capturar y fidelizar clientes estratégicos de alto valor en un mercado global cada vez más competitivo y orientado a la interconexión.
