Fiber Broadband Providers (Telcos) - Connectivity Expo 2023

Why attend Connect (X)?

The demand for better broadband connectivity is driving many telecom operators to expand their fiber footprints. According to a report from financial analysts at Cowen, in 2021 telecom operators, led by AT&T, are expected to expand fiber to 5 million more homes, bringing the total homes passed in the U.S. to approximately 42 million. And by 2025, that number could climb to 68 million homes passed with fiber, which means fiber would have a penetration rate of more than 50% in the U.S.

All that fiber penetration is a good thing for 5G as operators like Verizon and AT&T need an extensive fiber footprint to support their 5G network and their enterprise customers.
