[Webinar] Fiber and Modernizing of the Electric Grid

The electric grid stands at an inflection point. Utilities face a plethora of challenges, including an aging infrastructure, impacts of climate-change, keeping pace with societal electrification and supporting the green energy movement, particularly around the deployment of renewable energy and the emergence of electric vehicles. These factors demand a grid capable of handling increasing energy demands and the integration of technologies such as edge compute, automation, real-time sense and control and use of artificial intelligence and machine learning.

To achieve the greatest return on investment, the grid of tomorrow must be a converged network built upon a fiber-deep architecture which addresses not only the sense-and-control and communication requirements of the Utilities but also provides a highway for Middle Mile and FTTH broadband.

In this webinar from April 2024, produced in partnership with UTC, AFL's Seán Adam, VP of Market Strategy and Innovation, discusses how a fiber-deep architecture enables the transformation of the power grid to meet these evolving demands.
