 Welcome to JSA TV where we're covering the latest stories, trends, and innovations from leaders in global connectivity, digital infrastructure, and the networks within. I'm Allison Whelan coming to you live from Metro Connect USA 2024 in beautiful Fort Lauderdale. Joining me today is Bob Cromley, Senior Director of Carrier Sales at Precision Optical Technologies, a systems integration company focused on end-to-end networking, optical networking solutions. Good morning. Bob, thank you so much for being here for joining us. Glad to be here. So Precision OT has been making headlines, most recently with Open Path. Can you tell us a little bit about that? Yeah, definitely. So Open Path, it's our ultimate solution for network operators on a new standard beat. It's really about operational simplicity. We deliver the converged services with residential, commercial, and wireless. It's harmoniously delivered through one single infrastructure. And we always have our rapid response teams with our rapid release features. Precision prides itself on our engineering group and our resources for sustained system integration. In addition, the product is sustainable because you can reuse existing ODMs and resources as you go. And I think we'll get to that engineering portion a little bit more in a bit. But can you tell us how Open Path propels network operator's ability to harness the power of passive optical networking? Oh, yeah, definitely. So the 10 gig symmetrical PON system, it really revolutionizes the last mile of capability. Given the increased speeds and demands of XGS PON, Open Path is able to seamlessly deliver streaming, gaming, and data transfer at very high rates. So when you're in an urban area or a rural area, it doesn't matter because of Open Path and our ability to deliver the services. Wow, everybody's streaming these days, right? We're streaming right now, streaming at home. Yes, coming to live, like we said. So what trends have you noticed impacting network operators, including carriers, MSOs, cable companies, service providers, what are we seeing right now? Yeah, so it's all about the data consumption growth and reliability. And that's everything that Precision prides itself on is that ability to meet those trends in addition, the network reliability through not only the quality of our product, but our engineering resources. We're always looking for cutting end-to-end solutions and moving forward with that in the industry. And those engineering resources deep-rooted for you guys, you have those support systems to address these trends and support operators and overcoming network challenges. How are we working through those? Certainly, so as Precision has grown through the years, not only has our footprint grown within the industry, but our reputation for increased engineering support, our advanced development teams, and this has all been brought in by because of the massive strain on the networks. So data consumption and then that, as I mentioned earlier, the reliability needs. So we use our resources that way. Absolutely, and I'm sure that rapid response team comes in handy too, right? Definitely does. Well, thank you so much for joining us. It was great chatting with you, and thank you to our viewers for tuning in to JSA TV, live from Metro Connect USA 2024. Happy networking.
