Where is Fiber Growth Expected and Why?

This blog post is part of a new video blog series—Fiber Friday. Our subject matter experts will provide you with some insight into the world of fiber optics, covering various industry topics.

We all know the benefits of deploying fiber deeper into networks. In many applications, innovative fiber solutions are designed to maximize value across three factors: speed, simplicity, and savings.

One way service providers can achieve the above is by leveraging their existing FTTH networks to also provide other services, such as wireless backhaul, small cell connections, and smart city edge devices. It goes without saying that such multi-service converged fiber network allows for faster, simpler and more cost-effective roll-outs, while at the same time minimizing disruption for citizens as result of civil works.

In this vlog, I provide insight into where we expect to see an increase in fiber applications in such converged fiber network environment.
