The industry is on the cusp of delivering ubiquitous gigabit connectivity to all Americans. It has been repeatedly said that this is a once in a lifetime investment and operators, communities and state broadband officials are focused on ensuring that the investments made today will pay dividends for future generations. The fiber access network that is currently being deployed is the ideal vehicle to support not just the current requirements of users but meeting any future demands of the next killer application. This talk will explore the fundamental technologies that enable operators to create these future proof networks by leveraging new advances from our researchers in Bell Labs and from our key technology partners.
