Focus on Quality of Experience and the home network is therefore key and connected home presents a significant revenue opportunity for North American digital service providers. But how can ISPs ensure that they get the most out of this opportunity and what are some of the areas of the connected home that can provide the biggest impact in terms of further monetization? This presentation will provide an overview of key trends in the North American residential broadband and connected home markets. \nSpecial Guest: \n\n\n\n\nÂ \nÂ \nAlzbeta Fellenbaum \nPrincipal Analyst | 5G & Broadband\, Pricing & Strategy \n \nÂ \n\n \n\n\nÂ \n\n \n\n\n\n \n \n Register Now URL:https://fiberbroadband.org/event/ffb-week-40-looking-beyond-speed-connected-home-monetization-opportunities-and-trends/ CATEGORIES:Fiber For Breakfast,Webinars ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://fiberbroadband.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/FFB_Banner.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20241002T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20241002T140000 DTSTAMP:20241105T223122 CREATED:20240919T210302Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240919T211406Z UID:10000273-1727874000-1727877600@fiberbroadband.org SUMMARY:FBA Presents - Multi-Access Broadband â€“ Could It Be the Answer to Crushing the Digital Divide? DESCRIPTION:It is well understood that high speed internet is the equalizer that shatters the digital divide\, but the challenges that communications service providers face in trying to extend connectivity to unserved and underserved communities are real and quantifiable. High infrastructure costs and geographical considerations are just two of the impediments hindering fiber deployment in rural areas. Thereâ€™s an efficient and cost effective way to extend multi-gigabit connectivity to rural areas and remote regions with difficult terrain. A multi-access edge strategy has proven effective in delivering broadband across to rural and remote communities. \nJoin us as we take a deep dive into a case study of the strategic plan that Radisys implemented for one of the worldâ€™s largest FTTx networks. \nIn this session weâ€™ll discuss: \n\nWhat is a multi-access edge strategy and which operators and service providers does it suit best\nWays to optimize Capex/Opex spending and achieve multi-gigabit backhaul for 5G and fixed wireless access\nIndustry leading broadband solutions and best practices to satisfy your residential\, enterprise and mobile subscribers\nThe competitive economics of an open and disaggregated broadband access solution\n\nPresented by: \nEric Wulfsberg\, Sr. Director â€“ Product Management (ONT)\, Radisys \n \n \n Register Now URL:https://fiberbroadband.org/event/fba-presents-multi-access-broadband-could-it-be-the-answer-to-crushing-the-digital-divide/ CATEGORIES:Sponsored Webinars,Webinars ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://fiberbroadband.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/radisys_logo_color_black_grad_CMYK.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20241003 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20241005 DTSTAMP:20241105T223122 CREATED:20240930T134529Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240930T134529Z UID:10000279-1727913600-1728086399@fiberbroadband.org SUMMARY:FBA at the Northeast Telecommunications Showcase (NETS) in Binghamton DESCRIPTION:FBA will be exhibiting at the Northeast Telecommunications Showcase (NETS) at the Doubletree Hotel in Binghamton\, New York.

As Mayor of Chattanooga\, Tennessee from 2013 to 2021\, Andy Berke received national recognition for improving access to high-speed internet for underserved communities. \nJoin us for this episode to discover how the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Rural Utilities Service will help address the digital divide to ensure every American has access to reliable high-speed internet. \nSpecial Guest: \n\n\n\n\nÂ \nÂ \nAndy Berke\nAdministrator\, Rural Utilities Service \n \nÂ \n\n \n\n\nÂ \n\n \n\n\n\n \n \n Register Now URL:https://fiberbroadband.org/event/ffb-week-41-the-bipartisan-infrastructure-laws-historic-broadband-investment-with-andy-berke-usda-rural-utilities-service/ CATEGORIES:Fiber For Breakfast,Webinars ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://fiberbroadband.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/FFB_Banner.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241010T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241010T130000 DTSTAMP:20241105T223122 CREATED:20240913T141025Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240913T141025Z UID:10000268-1728561600-1728565200@fiberbroadband.org SUMMARY:Low carbon footprint optical cabling solution DESCRIPTION:Las redes Ã³pticas han sido principalmente un avance en la reducciÃ³n del impacto ambiental desde el desarrollo de aplicaciones PON\, debido a la reducciÃ³n del consumo de energÃa por los accesorios activos. \nActualmente\, las soluciones PON han presentado una tasa de crecimiento en la red secundaria no solo por la expansiÃ³n para capturar nuevos HP\, sino tambiÃ©n por el mantenimiento de legados. En Brasil\, se estima un consumo anual de fibra Ã³ptica de 15 millones de kilÃ³metros de fibra\, lo que aumenta el acceso y la capilaridad. \nPensando en el siguiente nivel de sostenibilidad en redes Ã³pticas\, se desarrollÃ³ una soluciÃ³n ecolÃ³gica para el cableado Ã³ptico\, que puede instalarse en redes secundarias\, destinada a instalaciones de distribuciÃ³n y acceso\, reduciendo la huella de carbono en mÃ¡s del 60% mediante el uso de polietileno ecolÃ³gico derivado de la caÃ±a de azÃºcar y materiales plÃ¡sticos en comparaciÃ³n con los diseÃ±os estÃ¡ndar. Con este nuevo diseÃ±o\, se espera reducir alrededor de 200 T de emisiÃ³n de CO2 en el primer aÃ±o. \nEl cable ha sido sometido a rigurosas pruebas\, principalmente en cuanto a la estabilidad del polietileno verde\, y fue aprobado segÃºn las normas brasileÃ±as e internacionales como cables ADSS y subterrÃ¡neos\, siendo significativo para la expansiÃ³n de redes 5G asociada a tendencias de responsabilidad sostenible\, utilizando materiales ecolÃ³gicos y un diseÃ±o optimizado \n \n \n Register here URL:https://fiberbroadband.org/event/low-carbon-footprint-optical-cabling-solution/ CATEGORIES:LATAM Webinar,Webinars ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://fiberbroadband.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Prysmian_logo_positive_RGB-e1726504091911.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241015T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241015T140000 DTSTAMP:20241105T223122 CREATED:20240930T193611Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241008T215602Z UID:10000280-1728997200-1729000800@fiberbroadband.org SUMMARY:FBA Presents - Charting Your Own Course in Telecom with Lori Adams DESCRIPTION:Join us for an insightful webinar featuring Lori Adams\, VP of Broadband Policy and Funding Strategy at Nokia.

The permitting processes required by federal\, state\, and local agencies play a crucial role in ensuring that broadband projects meet regulatory standards and serve the public interest. While these processes can be complex and involve coordination among numerous agencies\, they are essential for the successful deployment of broadband infrastructure. Rather than viewing regulatory requirements as obstacles\, operators can approach them as opportunities for partnership and collaboration in order to set themselves up for success. \nThis week\, Gary welcomes Ryan Kudera\, Manager of Client Services at Finley Engineering Company\, to discuss Finleyâ€™s recently published whitepaper\, â€œThe Four Steps to Successfully Navigating Complex Permitting Processesâ€. The essential steps outlined in the paper enable efficient navigation of the permitting landscape\, fostering smoother project implementation and ensuring that broadband services reach those who need them most. \nWith Special Guest: \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRyan Kudera\nManager\, Client Services \n \n\n\n\n\nÂ \n\n\n\n \n \n Register Now URL:https://fiberbroadband.org/event/ffb-week-43-four-steps-to-successfully-navigating-complex-permitting-processes/ CATEGORIES:Fiber For Breakfast,Webinars ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://fiberbroadband.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/FFB_Banner.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241023T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241023T150000 DTSTAMP:20241105T223122 CREATED:20240924T211327Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241017T201905Z UID:10000274-1729692000-1729695600@fiberbroadband.org SUMMARY:Ampliando el ancho de banda en redes DWDM\, explorando Tunable Transceivers de 1G a 800G DESCRIPTION:Ãšnase al Principal Solutions Engineer de PrecisionOT\, Pol Torres Compta\, para participar en esta sesiÃ³n donde discutiremos en profundidad sobre el estado actual y la evoluciÃ³n de los tunable pluggable transceivers en redes Ã³pticas.
