Broadband has become an essential utility for people around the world. It powers the digital economy; it makes applications such as remote learning and telemedicine possible; and it sets the stage for a future where virtual reality, augmented reality, and the metaverse are commonplace. However, 22.5% of US households do not have access to broadband. Closing the digital divide comes with many challenges including competition for resources, time to build, and many different considerations around technology. In this podcast CommScope’s Craig Culwell discusses how to overcome these challenges. You will learn how choosing the right technology can ease the impact of the skilled labor shortage, understanding and accessing government funds, technology considerations for your unique build, and finding key efficiencies in your network rollout.
