Gold Sponsor Presentation by Clearfield, Inc.
Every deployment is different, but the one thing they all have in common is that nothing can happen without that final connection. Homes passed mean little if no fiber can reach the building or premises. Services cannot start until the fiber is terminated at the site and connected to the network. This sometimes takes a new approach to fiber management and delivery. In today’s deadline-driven, federally funded expansion plans, any approach that puts less burden on fiber technicians is better. During this session, Clearfield will discuss the scenarios where it has helped its customers overcome unique and common challenges as each looks to reach people and places that have never been connected before.
