Operators worldwide are expanding fiber networks to meet surging demand for high-speed broadband. Innovations such as disaggregated optical line terminals (OLTs), including Adtran’s software-driven SDX Series, are streamlining infrastructure, reducing costs and boosting scalability. This shift toward flexible, energy-efficient solutions lays a foundation for robust growth and advanced, sustainable services.
In this session, Stefano Fogli will lead fellow industry experts in a discussion of strategies for accelerating fiber rollouts, consolidating networks and integrating disaggregated OLTs for maximum agility. The debate will explore how operators can overcome deployment challenges, optimize their infrastructure for long-term success and leverage emerging technologies to enhance service delivery. Attendees will gain insights into best practices for scaling fiber networks efficiently while ensuring adaptability for future demands.
