Built for Engineers who Build the Network
Design More. Rebuild Less.
ISE EXPO 2026 is where senior engineers and network architects come to solve the design, deployment, and scalability challenges that define the next decade of fixed and mobile infrastructure.
WHO THIS IS FOR
You're responsible for fiber builds that have to support residential broadband, enterprise services, and 5G/6G transport simultaneously. You're managing legacy infrastructure upgrades while accelerating new deployments—with CapEx pressure that never lets up.
If network architecture, OSP engineering, fiber deployment, or access network planning is your world, this conference was built for you.
WHAT YOU'RE SOLVING IN 2026
- Expanding fixed/mobile network coverage while controlling CapEx
- Balancing deployment speed with design accuracy and long-term resiliency
- Introducing AI-assisted planning, GIS advancements, and digital twins without disrupting active builds
- Managing vendor inconsistency and workforce shortages in a competitive build environment
- Building infrastructure ready for 5G/6G transport, high-capacity backhaul, and next-gen data center services
YOU'LL LEAVE WITH
- A practical roadmap for integrating AI-driven fiber diagnostics and predictive workflows—not theory, implementation
- Supply chain and logistics strategies from operators who've moved past the material shortage problem
- A working understanding of GIS-native automation and how leading operators are eliminating siloed data
- Peer insights on converged network builds from engineers doing it at scale
- Clarity on which design and deployment tools are actually field-proven versus still vaporware
FEATURED SESSIONS
Here's a sampling of what's on the agenda for network engineers and OSP leaders:

Combines optical physics with AI analytics to reduce errors and apply predictive workflows for first-time-right installs. A practical deployment roadmap.
Supply Chain Strategies for Faster Broadband Deployment
Operators, manufacturers, and distributors on what's actually causing deployment delays and what leaders are doing differently to protect build timelines and budgets.
From Friction to Flow: Driving Fiber OpEx Efficiency Through Integrated Data and Automation
How leading operators are replacing fragmented workflows with GIS-native automation and a single trusted network source of truth.
AWS Case Study—Maximizing Productivity During Cable Installations
Real-world audited data on installation speed and quality improvements.
Automating the Digital Twin: Reducing Telecom OpEx Through AI-Driven BIM-to-BIM Change Detection
Keeping as-built data accurate automatically—reducing rework, maintenance risk, and the cost of design errors.
