Panel Discussion - How are new data centre builds driving fibre deployments?

25 Feb 2025
As data centres chase power into new markets, they are deploying beyond the well-connected tier-one markets like Ashburn, Virginia. New deployments coupled with the evolving demands of AI workloads are requiring new and higher-capacity fibre routes. This session will discuss: As power becomes the primary driver of DC builds, how are fibre operators adapting? How are the connectivity requirements of hyperscalers and AI players evolving? What challenges are facing operators building to less connected sites through rural areas?
