The Federal Communications Commission recently announced the rules to apply for the E-rate Emergency Connectivity Fund (ECF), an historic opportunity for schools and libraries to connect students and patrons to home broadband. Unlike traditional E-rate funding, the $7 billion ECF program will allow schools and libraries to pay for off-campus connectivity and internet-enabled devices, such as laptops and tablets.
A webinar with CommScope's Zoran Maricevic, Engineering Fellow, Access Technologies and CTO Network Solutions group.
This webinar will use real market examples going through broadband network's "business as usual" upgrades and compare those costs to the FTTP ones, both in CAPEX and OPEX. For OPEX, comparisons on network power consumption, material, and truck roll costs for actives, passives, fiber and coax maintenance, and the drop line maintenance and replacement will be given.
