ADC KRONE’s Expert Presents Deployment Best Practices
As part of the conference program, Storbeck will discuss “Deployment Best Practices” during a breakout session on 24 February, from 4:30- 5:45 pm. He will talk about how the effective utilization of connectorization technology throughout the access network achieves accessibility, flexibility and regulatory compliance, while realising the full potential of the optical budget. With improvements in optical active components set to bring additional optical budget, network operators adopting connectorization strategies can guarantee network scalability – either in terms of bandwidth, distance or diffusion – at minimum OPEX, while delivering maximum subscriber satisfaction.
