Yuko Agano, Sumitomo Electric Lightwave’s product manager supporting air-blown fiber and cable technologies, returns to this episode of Fiber Focus to outline installations where ABF can deliver better installation speed, labor savings, and future-readiness than traditional deployment methods – especially for network operators who place value on being able to keep their facilities up and running without disruption during network expansions and upgrades.

Is ABF uniquely positioned to deliver the strongest ROI for your next project? Sumitomo Electric Lightwave’s engineers can help. Tune in to this conversation to learn more and check out the resources in our show notes.
