Corning Incorporated will showcase its latest innovations in optical infrastructure, including the newest additions to its award-winning Evolv® portfolio, at the 2021 Fiber Connect conference. Experts will share insights on how network operators can stay ahead of demand for reliable, high-bandwidth connectivity.
The latest Evolv solutions include a terminal that supports additional fiber configurations, designed to enable the fiber-lean distributed tap architectures sometimes used in rural deployments. Like other terminals in the Evolv portfolio, the new terminal offers easy-to-use Pushlok™ technology.
"Today, the benefits of a fiber broadband connection are clearer than ever, and network operators are working to bring more connections to more people in more places," said Joe Jensen, director, Americas, fiber-to-the-home market development for Corning. "Our industry-leading products, including our Evolv portfolio, offer network operators enhanced deployment flexibility at a lower cost.”
At the conference, Corning experts will explain how Corning can help operators support transformative technologies such as 5G, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things.
