Details

The 4th annual Gigabit Access conference will provide operators with the best opportunities to understand how to develop their networks with emerging and disruptive technologies, and deliver the right technology mix for your situation.

Through a series of thought provoking keynote speeches, panel discussions and roundtables, the telecoms community will come away with the new ideas, opinions and relationships they need to develop their business models and grow their business.

Investment strategies for a fibre future:
• Maximising RoI on the road to full fibre
• How can operators make fibre economics make sense?
• Competition & demand dynamics
• GPON deployment challenges and opportunities
• How do copper technologies including xDSL and G.fast, as well as DOCSIS 3.x, fit into fibre strategies?
