Operator Services

The expansion of fibre infrastructure is bringing a new efficiency question into network planning: how can operators carry substantially more traffic without allowing energy consumption to rise at the same pace? Fibre network efficiency is becoming increasingly important as...

AI infrastructure is becoming increasingly distributed across data centres, regions and edge locations, changing the role that connectivity plays in computing architecture. Fibre networks are moving beyond their traditional role of connecting users to digital services and are increasingly...

Data centre networks are moving toward higher optical capacities as growing volumes of traffic require faster connections between facilities, network switches and interconnection points. 800G and 1.6T optics are emerging within this transition as operators and data centre providers...

The role of fibre networks is expanding as enterprises rely more heavily on cloud platforms, distributed applications and digital services that require dependable connectivity between locations. High speed fibre is becoming relevant beyond residential broadband, supporting connections between enterprise...

The fibre investment cycle is creating greater interest in open access fibre models that separate network infrastructure from retail service delivery. Rather than requiring every operator to build and maintain a complete physical network, these structures allow infrastructure owners...

The evolution of fibre access networks is entering a new phase as operators look beyond initial full fibre deployment toward higher capacity on infrastructure that is already in place. 50G PON is emerging within this transition as a standards...

The fixed broadband industry is undergoing a structural transition as full fibre expansion moves toward replacing legacy metallic infrastructure in mature markets. Fibre accounted for 47% of fixed broadband subscriptions across OECD countries at the end of 2024, up...
