The rising demand for resilient, reliable, and modernized grids requires a robust broadband network. Vital to this transformation is a robust, low-latency communication network that enables real-time data transmission, monitoring, and control of grid components. Consequently, utility companies are compelled to optimize their operations to meet these evolving demands. 

In this article, appearing in the UTC Journal, AFL's Jake Adams explores the advantages of leveraging Fiber to the “x” (FTTx) buildouts for grid modernization and discusses the benefits of All-Dielectric Self-Supporting (ADSS) fiber optic technology. The focus is on how ADSS’s self-supporting capability, reliability and cost-effectiveness and FTTx buildouts can enhance communication infrastructure for grid modernization efforts.
