Keeping Innovation in Motion

By Michael K. Powell – When regulatory frameworks are thoughtfully designed to encourage private investment and empower technologists, innovation thrives. America leads.

Bridging the Skills Gap

By Cesar Ruiz – What sets LAC apart is our ability to forecast industry needs through the lens of federal legislation. Two landmark policies are reshaping workforce readiness.

Powering Workforce Development to Fuel Industry Expansion

By Mike Brooks – While AI will enhance operations, it won’t replace the skilled field technicians who bring these networks to life. These hands-on roles remain critical and will be for decades to come.

The Path to Next-Generation Access Networks

By Colin Howlett – Next-generation networks must be architected for high availability from the ground up. But one-size redundancy doesn’t fit all. Instead, match the resiliency model to the component.

Autonomous Network Optimization in HFC Systems: From Telemetry to Action

By Sahil Yadav – Modern autonomous systems use a DMPR model to separate real-time stabilization from long-term fixes. This DMPR model enables intelligent triage that reduces mean time to detect and remediate (MTTD/MTTR) while balancing real-time responsiveness with strategic resource planning.

Building the Future—One Gift at a Time

By Bill Warga – I am constantly reminded that the work we do is not just about innovation—it’s about people. It’s about opportunity. It’s about shaping a future in which the broadband industry thrives because its people do.

Maximizing Efficiency and Flexibility

An innovative solution is a fiber demarcation that integrates a fiber drop on a reel, eliminating the need for a separate drop cable.

Rapid Deployment Fiber Solutions

By Steven Nesbitt – Deploying fiber-to-the-premise (FTTP) in multi-dwelling unit (MDU) and multi-tenant unit (MTU) properties can quickly spiral into complexity, delays, and cost overruns—even for seasoned Service Providers (SPs).

Cover Story: AI’s Massive Impact on Our Industry

By Yvette Kanouff – We’ve all read stories about use cases for AI. By now, many of us have adopted or are implementing AI strategies across areas from networking to call centers. While several new and emerging technologies such as quantum computing, augmented reality, cybersecurity, biotech, edge computing, and robotics offer exciting possibilities.
