The need for accelerated fiber build outs continues to be driven by increasing data
demand. Getting your city ready to meet these 5G service demands means you
need to build a foundation of fiber that will support compoundedly complex future
architectures.

What the industry is saying
> Small Cell Forum’s 2018 Small Cells Market Status report, “there will be
“significant growth in densification through 2025… 5G will be a catalyst for
densification, because its deployment will often be driven by the need for
targeted capacity, to enhance mobile broadband experience and support high
device densities.”
> Fiber Broadband Association 2019 study found 39.2M US households had
been passed by all-fiber networks; by 2025, an estimated 25.9M additional
households will be passed for a total of 65.1M-–about 50% of US households.
“A mixture of lowered deployment costs...and government support could push
coverage to 90% in 10 years.”
> FTTH Council Europe has found in some areas, fibre densification driven by
5G is aiding in FTTH deployment through increased access and costs savings.
