AI is becoming the backbone of telecom – but without sovereignty it risks control, compliance, and trust. Discover how operators can build secure AI factories that keep data and models in-country while unlocking new revenue and powering the next wave of national AI innovation.

It’s all about fiber broadband’s community impact at FBA’s regional event in Bozeman. Sessions will uncover new case studies on communities directly benefitting from fiber networks, and speakers will explore the many applications that reliable broadband can and will enable. 

Fiber Connect is the largest fiber broadband event in the world. It will articulate how fiber broadband positions communities “Light Years Ahead” with access to beneficial digital applications and services. Sessions will showcase the future fiber enables and best practices for building and expanding fiber infrastructure.  

Next-gen UWB as per IEEE 802.15.4ab boosts ranging, data transfer, sensing and low-latency communication with new pulse shapes, coding and channel bands. This poster offers a clear overview of advanced UWB PHY features — from enhanced ranging to standardized sensing.

Join FBA and its members in Indianapolis to explore the need for (broadband) speed! Sessions will explore how fiber delivers advantages that are “light years ahead,” the fiber broadband infrastructure needed to support AI and quantum, and fiber’s economic impact on local communities.  

Autonomous networks promise speed, efficiency, and intelligence but without validation, automation can increase risk. Discover how continuous testing and active service assurance turn AI-driven autonomy into provable performance, trusted outcomes, and consistent customer experience.
