This historic level of funding creates an opportunity to bring high-speed internet access to every community in America and close the digital divide. \nHistoric levels of funding will accelerate broadband network construction\, putting enormous pressure on local governments responsible for permitting infrastructure construction within municipal boundaries. These processes take time and resources\, and not every government is equipped for the coming wave of construction. This is especially true in rural areas\, where municipal resources are lowest and BEAD activity will be highest. \nEffective and efficient permitting processes are critical for ISPs and local governments to successfully deploy broadband networks that will give every American community modern connectivity. Permitting Success Strategies for ISPs and Local Governments a paper offering solutions for permitting was published on September 4\, 2024 by the Benton Institute for Broadband & Society. Please join the author of the paper and permitting experts who will discuss the paper and its content. \nSpecial Guests: \n\nDrew Garner\, Director of Policy Engagement\, Benton Institute for Broadband & Society\nIan Linssen\, Assistant to the City Manager\, City of Mesa\nBailey Edenburn\, Manager\, Champaign County Farm Bureau\nCarsi Mitzner\, Government Affairs Director\, Brightspeed\n\nAdditional guests are being finalized. \n \n \n Register Now URL:https://fiberbroadband.org/event/ffb-week-39-permitting-success-strategies-for-isps-and-local-governments/ CATEGORIES:Fiber For Breakfast,Webinars ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://fiberbroadband.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/FFB_Banner.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240925T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240925T140000 DTSTAMP:20241105T233431 CREATED:20240816T160622Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240816T160814Z UID:10000258-1727269200-1727272800@fiberbroadband.org SUMMARY:FBA Presents - HyperFiber Gains 10x Installation Capacity with Field Service Automation & Enterprise Asset Management DESCRIPTION:Join Steve Johns\, CRO\, Field Squared\, as he talks with Justin Nelson\, COO and EVP of Engineering and Operations at HyperFiber\, a dynamic startup fiber provider. \n\nDiscover how HyperFiber successfully implemented Field Squared to scale their installation capacity from one or two per day to 20\, all without increasing headcount.\nLearn how they enhanced operational efficiency without the need for additional dispatch personnel\nHear how they streamlined their documentation and reporting processes.\nLearn about Field Squaredâ€™s highly configurable Field Service Automation and Enterprise Asset Management Solution.\n\nThis webinar is particularly valuable for field service operations managers considering the adoption or replacement of field service or asset management software solutions. \nPresented by: \n\nSteve Johns\, CRO\, Field Squared\nJustin Nelson\, COO and EVP of Engineering and Operations\, HyperFiber\n\n \n \n Register Now URL:https://fiberbroadband.org/event/fba-presents-hyperfiber-gains-10x-installation-capacity-with-field-service-automation-enterprise-asset-management/ CATEGORIES:Sponsored Webinars,Webinars ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://fiberbroadband.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Field-Squared-Logo-1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240926T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240926T150000 DTSTAMP:20241105T233431 CREATED:20240913T140753Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240913T140753Z UID:10000267-1727359200-1727362800@fiberbroadband.org SUMMARY:EvoluciÃ³n de las redes preconectorizadas DESCRIPTION:En este webinar\, descubrirÃ¡ cÃ³mo las nuevas tecnologÃas estÃ¡n revolucionando la manera de asegurar un rendimiento Ã³ptimo en redes preconectorizadas de telecomunicaciones\, permitiendo despliegues mÃ¡s rÃ¡pidos y confiables.
