Join the Fiber-to-the-Home Council in Portland on March 28 for a day-long session of best practices, case studies and other learning opportunities – with a special focus on the high-bandwidth, all-fiber networks that are being deployed in the Pacific Northwest region of the country.
This is one in our series of our "hot topic" workshops aimed at improving industry awareness of the latest technology, policy and business developments related to FTTH. In Portland, we'll have industry experts providing updated information on FTTH developments, as well as representatives from telephone and internet service providers in Washington and Oregon discussing their experiences in deploying all-fiber networks.
Topics will include...
• The Economic Impact of FTTH on Pacific Northwest Communities
• Deploying FTTH Networks from an Operations Perspective
• Review of Regulatory and Legislative Activities Affecting FTTH
• RUS and ARRA Funding: Preparing for and Surviving a Government Audit
• North America’s FTTH Build-Out: A Status Update
This workshop is an outstanding learning opportunity anyone who is interested in next-generation broadband -telecom service providers, consulting network engineers, manufacturers of optical access equipment, or anyone else who wants to get the inside scoop from the front lines of the all-fiber revolution. In addition to the wealth of information that is exchanged in the workshop sessions, there are ample opportunities throughout the day to meet industry colleagues and make business connections - as well as a wrap-up reception at the end of the day featuring table-top exhibitions by leading FTTH manufacturers and solutions providers.
