The Fiber Broadband Association Opens PoCs for Fiber InnovationsFiber Broadband Association Opens Call for Proof of Concept Demonstrations on What Fiber Disrupts NextCollaborative projects will showcase the potential and possibilities for network-based market disruption at Fiber Connect 2023The Fiber Broadband Association today announced the call for Proof of Concept (PoC) demonstrations
that will be hosted at Fiber Connect 2023 in Orlando, Fla., August 20-23.
Focused on what fiber disrupts next, the PoCs will focus on how fiber broadband
enables markets and communities to create innovation and disruption, change
market dynamics, and push the boundaries of what is possible. “The 2022 Proof of Concept program was a highlight in the Expo Hall as companies showcased a variety of innovative concepts, partnerships, and possibilities. Companies showcased big ideas that will be transformational to our industry as we move forward,” said Gary Bolton, President and CEO at Fiber Broadband Association. “The Fiber Connect 2023 PoC Showcase is set to explore how fiber is the only enabling infrastructure with the capacity to disrupt any market – from agriculture to gaming to manufacturing. The PoC demonstrations serve as a stimulating exercise to see just how far fiber can take us in supporting next-generation services and applications.” Fiber Connect 2023 PoCs will be collaborative projects that can involve up to three companies (one must be a Fiber Broadband Association member). Each PoC must demonstrate the benefits fiber brings to markets, industries, and/or communities as a fundamental enabler of disruption, growth, and potential.
