telecoms.com and Kontron Webinar from February 2021

As the growth of FTTH networks accelerates, attention must be paid to key considerations that will affect the long-term business success of fibre roll-out. Aspects such as population density, network openness, the right choice of access technology, financing options or the need for future upgradeability all translate directly to overall costs of deployment and the return on investment.

In this webinar hosted by telecoms.com, we explore operators’ challenges and the best approach they can take to make them a winner of open fibre networks.

 

Key topics include:

  • Understanding the true nature of challenges
  • Evolution of PON technologies
  • Designing for upgradeability: avoiding future makeovers and redesign
  • Optimising and securing the long-term investment
  • Best practices and lessons learned from successful deployment of open fibre networks
