With a deeper understanding of their infrastructure and predictive analytics\, we help fiber operators reduce faults and increase wins. \nFor optimized operations\, IQGeo enables network builds that are ready for operationalization\, in which you can design your network for testing and test as you build. This ensure that you can test and validate that your rollouts are according to design specs as you incrementally build your network. As the network is built\, you can use the same testing infrastructure to enrich alarms and tickets with accurate position and asset information to reduce errors\, improving the effectiveness of field crews. \nTo monetize your network\, IQGeo’s near-net model discovers business opportunities and automates route generation to deliver faster and more accurate sales estimates. Your sales engineers can dynamically control and edit routes while also integrating near-net opportunities\, delivering higher conversion rates on proposals and ultimately higher ROI on your network builds. \nJoin us to see how IQGeo helps you to enhance your fiber network operations and time to value with more accurate\, predictive data. \nPresented by: \n\nStefan Schneider\, Telecom Product Manager\, IQGeo\nJonas Verstuyft\, Product Manager – Sales Enablement\, IQGeo\n\n \n \n Register Now URL:https://fiberbroadband.org/event/fba-presents-using-accurate-predictive-data-to-reduce-faults-and-increase-wins/ CATEGORIES:Webinars ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://fiberbroadband.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/IQGeo_Logo-Black-IQgreen-®-RGB.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241113T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241113T130000 DTSTAMP:20241105T222745 CREATED:20241031T190110Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241031T190158Z UID:10000300-1731499200-1731502800@fiberbroadband.org SUMMARY:FBA Presents - Women in Fiber: Being Resilient Through Change with Ellen Rebne DESCRIPTION:Join us for an insightful presentation\, featuring Ellen Rebne\, Senior Vice President of Sales at Graybar.
