Future-proof Design, Right Product and On-time Execution: 3 Essential Steps for Every Rural Digital Opportunity Fund Winner

To get started on building next-generation broadband networks no matter the technology, network-builders must take three essential steps. First, they need a GIS-based network design. Second, they need access to the right materials, equipment and skilled resources, some of which are currently many months delayed. Third, they need the ability to execute upon a fiber-to-the-endpoint construction plan. In this session, companies working on Rural Digital Opportunity Fund projects will speak about their plans for both fiber and wireless network delivery.

• Sandeep Dhingra, Chief Technology Officer of Network Services at Sterlite Technologies Limited (STL)
