Accelerating 5G deployment: A fiber rollout success story

The telecommunications industry is marked by fierce competition, especially as service providers worldwide strive to establish themselves as 5G front runners. For one major telecommunications company, the journey to implement 5G was riddled with a significant obstacle: the necessity to lay down 2,000 route miles of fiber each month to adhere to their ambitious rollout targets. However, their existing systems posed a severe constraint, yielding a meager output of merely 200 to 300 route miles monthly. Faced with this stark reality, it became evident that a shift was imperative if they were to keep stride with the relentless demands of the industry.
