Panel: Broadband & Network Convergence: Fiber, Wireless or Hybrid?

10 Feb 2027
Last Mile Stage
Tower and Wireless Summit

Broadband networks are evolving beyond a single-access technology model. Fiber, Fixed Wireless Access and satellite connectivity are increasingly being deployed together to improve coverage, capacity and customer experience. This session explores the rise of converged network architectures and examines how changing traffic patterns, AI adoption and shifting consumer expectations are influencing investment decisions.

  • Does Fixed Wireless Access complement or compete with FTTH, and what role should each technology play in the future broadband mix?
  • Will the next generation of broadband be built on hybrid architectures combining Fiber, wireless and satellite networks, and what does this mean for operators and investors?
  • How will AI-driven traffic growth reshape network design, and who will own the customer relationship in an increasingly converged broadband market?
