Welcome to FTTx Summit Europe 2012

FTTx Summit Europe will bring together case studies from across Europe and the Middle East to detail the deployment strategies and business models that telecoms and cable operators are using to ensure profitable NGA network roll-outs. Benefit from the knowledge gained and lessons learnt by your peers to further the success of your NGA deployment and take this chance to ask your critical questions to those people at the heart of practical fibre deployments.

Take this opportunity to learn from the experiences and advice of operators, regulators and communities from across the fibre value chain and discover how you can use evolving PON technologies to optimise and future-proof your NGA network roll-out.

Additionally, take advantage of this interactive summit to discuss how DSL can be used as a commercially viable alternative to fibre for delivering super fast broadband; Is 2012 really the year of ‘the revenge of copper?’
