The US government is investing more money than ever in broadband infrastructure. But given current labor and skills shortages, material constraints and the demand for high-quality future-proof architectures, there are questions around whether these networks can be built to the proper standard and at the required speed. Post-deployment, ongoing maintenance is also a concern.

In this panel discussion, Doug Payauys and fellow industry experts will debate how broadband infrastructure investment can be maximized using innovative hardware and software that combats labor shortages and increases efficiency. They will also delve into key operational factors to consider when choosing network products to prevent regrettable investments that are challenging to maintain operationally.
