Amdocs will join industry leaders at Metro Connect Fall 2026 to tackle one of the industry's biggest challenges: how to build fiber networks faster and at greater scale while navigating permitting, workforce shortages, supply-chain constraints and rising deployment costs.
Accelerating Fiber Deployment at Scale
Fiber demand continues to grow, driven by FTTH expansion, AI infrastructure and increasing capacity requirements. But getting fiber into the ground remains complex.
Amdocs brings together network engineering, permitting, program management and intelligent automation to help broadband providers accelerate the journey from planning and design through construction.
Meet our team at Metro Connect Fall to explore how service providers can simplify large-scale programs, improve design quality, reduce rework and accelerate deployment.
Panel Discussion: How are we overcoming the challenges of mass fiber deployment?
As fiber builds accelerate, operators, engineering teams and construction partners face growing pressure to keep projects on schedule despite talent shortages, permitting complexity, supply-chain constraints and rising costs.
Amdocs' Andrew Novoselsky, Customer Business Executive, will join industry leaders to discuss how the industry can overcome these barriers and deliver fiber at scale.
The discussion will explore:
- How the industry is addressing workforce, permitting and supply-chain challenges to keep builds on schedule
- How network design and increasing capacity requirements are shaping physical deployment
- How early collaboration between operators, construction firms, contractors, suppliers and utilities can reduce friction and deployment timelines
