Fiber Network Powering Today’s World — and Tomorrow’s
The telecom and wireless industries are seeing explosive growth as 5G continues through the early deployment stage and enterprises increasingly move to deploy new applications and take advantage of cloud-based services.
The Massive Fiber Optic 5G Investment
Scaling at a pace to keep up with the growing demand means a sizable fiber investment from service providers — something most might not be able to do or be interested in supporting financially.
To make 5G work, we expect to see some strange but necessary bedfellows pop up among traditional service providers, tower companies and utilities, along with a new breed of fiber-based service providers like Everstream, who focus squarely on bringing fiber to cities and business-rich suburbs.
We’re also watching cloud-based services continue to grow, as well as demand for regional data centers as enterprises deploy new service with stringent latency requirements. Each requires access to a high-bandwidth, low-latency fiber network.
The industry is thirsty for more bandwidth. With the long-term work associated with 5G rollouts coupled with rapidly emerging new business applications, Everstream is seeing a 10-year tailwind for high-capacity fiber network buildouts — great news for us, and for the industry.
As this capacity demand grows, selecting the right partnerships will be crucial for enterprises, and we’re ready to deliver on that promise to the industry.
