SOMERSET, N.J.--VCTI has joined the Fiber Broadband Association (FBA). At a time of increased activity in light of the anticipated BEAD funding, broadband service providers are focused on prioritizing key markets and understanding the business case and cost of expansion.
VCTI's expertise and experience in the center of this rapid expansion complements FBA's focus on accelerating the deployment of fiber broadband networks to ensure every community can leverage the economic and societal benefits of broadband.
"The Fiber Broadband Association welcomes VCTI to its membership. Our association thrives on our members' knowledge, hard work, and collaboration, and we know that VCTI will be an asset to our organization," said Gary Bolton, President and CEO at the Fiber Broadband Association. "Together, we will work to provide advocacy, education, and resources for the advancement of fiber broadband technology to close the digital equity gap and create a better quality of life for everyone."
In Q4 of 2022, VCTI announced that it had supported more than $1B in grant applications, leveraging its Broadband Investment Optimization data analytics and fiber deployment planning platform.
VCTI will contribute key learnings from this work at national and regional FBA events, and through participation in FBA's committees and working groups.
"At a time of fast growth and rapid development in the broadband ecosystem, the ability to build a compelling business case and understand where and how to deploy for maximum impact is critical," said Raj Singh, VCTI's CEO. "Working as part of the Fiber Broadband Association will benefit our customers as we join forces with other organizations dedicated to quick, effective, and efficient broadband deployment to benefit all."
