Summary

When constructing a fiber optic network, many constructors and operators approach it as a collection of parts.  While this approach is technically feasible, there are advantages to a solution-based mindset.  In this webinar, AFL’s Josh Simer will provide examples of how this approach can not only save cost in deployment, but can even help with permitting and improve the revenue generation and ROI of a network.
