28% of telecommunications organizations still lack a dedicated fiber asset management system.1 For these companies - and many others using outdated solutions - this gap creates cascading challenges that impact everything from customer service to network maintenance.
The telecom industry stands at the intersection of rapid innovation and shifting challenges. Economic uncertainties, increasing pricing pressures, and evolving customer demands create a landscape where agility and adaptability are more critical than ever. Amid these changes, the industry remains resilient and optimistic, underpinned by significant investments in infrastructure, innovation, and customer-centric strategies.
Fiber networks have transformed how we live, work, and connect. They power everything from streaming our favorite shows to enabling the smart cities of the future. But as demand skyrockets and technology advances, fiber networks are stepping up to the challenge in ways that go beyond what we’ve seen before. So, what’s next for this critical infrastructure? Let’s explore the trends and technologies shaping the future of telecom.
Denver, CO – December 05, 2024 – Vitruvi, a leading provider of innovative construction management software, is excited to announce its strategic partnership with 3-GIS. Together Vitruvi and 3-GIS will empower companies to plan, design, build, and manage their telecom networks more efficiently. This collaboration aims to streamline the way telecom infrastructure is deployed and managed, providing unparalleled end-to-end project visibility, real-time data integration, and enhanced collaboration across teams.
As Storm Bert lashed south Wales, disrupting travel and threatening attendance, the Independent Networks Cooperative Association (INCA) Summit 2024 weathered the storm—both literally and metaphorically. Held at the International Convention Centre in Newport, the summit provided an opportunity for the UK's AltNet community to reflect on challenges, celebrate progress, and plan for a future of connectivity in a turbulent industry landscape. Here are some key insights from the summit’s thought-provoking agenda.
As the dust settles on another successful Fiber Connect conference, we at 3-GIS find ourselves energized by the innovative spirit and collaborative atmosphere that permeated the Nashville event. Fiber Connect 2024, hosted by the Fiber Broadband Association, brought together industry leaders and technology pioneers, united in the mission to bridge the digital divide and propel America's connectivity infrastructure into the future.
The world of telecom is changing fast, and managing complex networks is getting harder. But there's good news: GIS (Geographic Information System) is here to help and is changing how we plan, design, and manage our telecom networks. Let's explore a few ways using GIS makes a big difference.
The telecoms market is seeing rapid change, perhaps even faster than we first expected. Alongside this, the current economic climate has caused a push for network operators to shift focus from network expansion to connecting customers. That has sadly meant that reductions in headcount have been a common theme, as evidenced in a recent study showing that 76% of communications service providers (CSPs) surveyed had reduced their workforce in the last 6 years.1
These reductions, coupled with those leaving the industry due to retirement, have created a collective ‘brain drain’ with the knowledge tied up in systems, processes, and network architecture now at risk of being lost. Based on these challenges, operators will need to do more with less to operate efficiently.
