The Role of Carries in Enabling AI Fiber Infrastructure
The Fiber Connect Council MENA invites you to its 14th annual Conference and Exhibition which will be held in Dubai, UAE from 20 to 22 Jan 2025.
Carriers, or telecommunications companies, play a vital role in enabling AI-driven fiber infrastructure, which is essential for supporting the vast data requirements of artificial intelligence applications. As demand for high-speed, low-latency connectivity rises, carriers are increasingly responsible for building and maintaining robust fiber-optic networks that can handle AI’s intensive data processing, storage, and transmission needs.
