Fiber-Powered Futures: Connecting Intelligence, Infrastructure & Innovation
The Fiber Connect Council MENA invites you to its 15th annual Conference and Exhibition which will be held in Muscat, Oman in Feb 2026.
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.
