DEEP DIVE SESSION // WEDNESDAY - 15 JANUARY

UTILITY MANAGEMENT

Telecommunications & Broadband Equity

In this session, we’ll explore the critical role geospatial technology plays in supporting the telecommunications and broadband sectors in delivering equitable access to consumers. With increasing demands for high-speed internet and digital connectivity, especially in underserved and rural areas, utilities face immense pressure to efficiently manage their networks and optimize resource allocation. Geospatial tools enable utilities to map infrastructure gaps, streamline broadband deployment, and track network performance in real time. By integrating geospatial data with predictive analytics, telecommunications providers can enhance decision-making, ensuring both operational efficiency and service equity. This session will feature industry leaders discussing the latest innovations and case studies on how geospatial solutions are advancing broadband infrastructure and helping utilities meet their responsibilities to consumers in a sustainable, inclusive manner.
