eX² Technology recently celebrated its 10-year anniversary, a decade defined by their work in broadband infrastructure, spanning from rural fiber deployments and smart corridor systems to intelligent transportation networks. Now, as they look ahead, eX² continues its Future-Ready Fiber Networks webinar series.
Session 2: Planning & Permitting will dive into the critical groundwork behind fiber network planning. With decades of combined experience, the panel explores how strategic planning, cross-sector collaboration, and regulatory know-how can keep projects on track and aligned with broader goals.
