The high-level concepts for how to deploy Fiber to the Home have been around for decades. It is the process and incremental improvements in technology that has expanded the use of fiber from specialized to mass application. We caught up with Ron Cassel of Matrix Design Group who talks about a rural Vermont fiber project that required out-of-the-box thinking and delving into decades of fiber experience to keep this particular project viable.
On a personal note, what a pleasant surprise to catch up with Ron at the 2012 Broadband Communities Summit, as we had worked together on the first digital video, CATV fiber transport project way back when.
