FFB Week 34 – AI: Driving Fiber Deployment Transformation

Ron Westfall, Research Director, will share insights and takeaways from The Futurum Group’s AI Intelligence studies that impact the fiber ecosystem. Ron will spotlight how organizations are deploying AI services, how organizations plan to spend on AI, top AI solution selection criteria, and key AI market trends.  To improve business outcomes and customer experiences, fiber organizations, such as fiber operators, must administer complex architectures that provide greater capacity and fulfill evolving customer needs. Greater AI, including GenAI, adoption can enable fiber organizations to streamline operations, optimize costs, and improve time-to-value.

Fiber ecosystem players are strengthening their investments in AI, including AIOps and machine learning, to meet major goals such as operations automation, improving customer support alongside workforce experience, advancing autonomous networks capabilities, boosting field tech efficiencies, as well as augmenting data processing and analytics, bandwidth management and designing fiber network routes. Ron will provide perspective on why he sees progress in how fiber organizations are fulfilling strategic objectives by using AI capabilities to enable the delivery of experience-first network services and attain organization-wide agility throughout operations and business processes.
