Central and Eastern Europe is one of the fastest-growing regions for fiber connectivity, but operators still face hurdles in scaling deployment and driving adoption. Fragmented markets, supply chain constraints and evolving service demands all challenge the pace and efficiency of rollout. To meet rising demand for high-speed broadband, the region’s stakeholders must embrace innovation, collaboration and future-ready solutions.
In this session, Stefano Fogli will moderate a panel of leading solution providers working at the heart of fiber deployment and adoption in the CEE region. Together, they’ll share practical strategies and technologies designed to overcome rollout challenges and accelerate deployment at scale. Discussions will highlight ways to optimize efficiency, improve service delivery and enable sustainable, scalable networks. Stefano will also offer his view on how FTTH innovation can accelerate the evolution of a digital society in Central and Eastern Europe.
