Fiber Connect 2026 brings together the leaders building the next wave of broadband. Operators, engineering partners, investors, and technology teams gather to talk through deployment realities, funding pressure, supply constraints, and what it actually takes to keep projects moving.
Join us in Orlando to see how stronger network data supports smarter expansion. When your outside plant is modeled accurately, and your field updates flow back in real time, you reduce delays, avoid rework, and move from construction to activation with control.

Identifying and overcoming network expansion roadblock
Tuesday, May 19 | 8:50 AM to 9:30 AM
Expanding your network introduces challenges that do not always show up in early designs. Permitting backlogs. Environmental restrictions. Material constraints. Internal handoff gaps.
Andrew Wright, Director of Product Management at 3-GIS, joins a panel of industry leaders to walk through how to identify these roadblocks early and apply practical strategies that keep projects on track.


3-GIS delivers fiber network management built for broadband operators who are actively designing, building, and managing complex networks. Our platform brings everything into one system of record, following the approach outlined in our telecom brand brief:
| Manage your network in one web-based platform with real-time visibility into fiber assets, capacity, and connectivity across the enterprise. |
Keep field and office aligned with a mobile application that captures updates, redlines, and construction status directly from the job site. | Connect your essential systems through secure APIs that synchronize network data with provisioning, billing, and other operational platforms. |
