[Infographic] Navigating Broadband Surety of Supply in a Data Center Boom

In a recent AFL webinar, Navigating Broadband Surety of Supply in a Data Center Boom, Ryan O’Sullivan, AFL’s Director of Broadband Ecosystem Development, explored how two powerful forces—AI-driven data center expansion and the final wave of BEAD-funded rural FTTH deployments—are reshaping the broadband supply chain. His key message: ensuring surety of supply in this changing landscape relies on transparency, strategic planning and strong partnerships across manufacturers, distributors, and service providers.

In this infographic, learn how AI growth, BEAD-driven FTTH and evolving broadband demand are transforming the fiber supply chain—and how a connected ecosystem can ensure reliable supply through strategic planning, visibility and collaboration.
