 Welcome to JSA TV. We are live here from Metro Connect in sunny Fort Lauderdale and we're bringing you the latest stories, trends and innovations from leaders in global connectivity, digital infrastructure and the networks within. My name is Emily Scherer for JSA. I am joined today by Dave LeBlanc. He is the VP of strategy and corporate development with AFL Global. Dave, welcome, it's great to have you. Thanks Emily, it's really great to be here. It's AFL's first time at the show and we're a little bit of a newbie. And a lot of people don't know about us. We're a kind of full service, optical communication company, principally in the product space, making fiber optic cables, connectivity, kind of the backbone of what makes our industry work, as well as kind of an inside plant and outside plant services capability as well. So we really see ourselves as a one-stop shop for putting in place the passive elements of optical networking. And our most recent foray is now into the wireless space where we have carved out a little bit of an interesting niche where the premium provider of wireless services for sports venues, including the NFL and the NBA and Major League Baseball. Yeah, that is so exciting. So the technology you're providing is keeping people connected when they're attending those events, is that right? 100%, that's really our core mission. Yeah, that's so exciting. Yeah, that's really, really fun. So that's excellent. Now, as you said, you kind of keep the companies, a lot of the companies that are here at Metro Connect kind of running behind the scenes. So what are some of the trends that your customers are seeing that you think are gonna be huge for 2024? Well, we really kind of serve three markets and reach are in a different place. So our hyperscale customers today, it's all about just scaling to meet the demand. The amount of growth as we've heard all week here is just unprecedented. As a manufacturer, it's a significant hurdle to make sure that we have the capacity to support the needs of the industry. In our broadband space, we really serve kind of tier two, tier three service providers and the kind of elective cooperatives. And they are figuring out Bid and BABA impact on their growth plans. And in parallel to that, we're preparing to meet that demand by making sure that we're compliant with the on-sharing requirements for that part of the portfolio. And then we also have a presence in kind of grid modernization. And that's, I think, an area where we see is a longer-term opportunity where the industry is, I think, still figuring out what that means. So we really like the fact that we have immediate today, we have prepare for, and then there's what's gonna happen in the future. Yeah, absolutely. And it's so important to have a partner like you who's up on all the trends and all the compliance. So excellent. Thanks for sharing that with us. Now, as far as 2024 plans, what's coming up for AFL Global? What's on the horizon? Any news that you wanna share with our viewers today? Yeah, well, a bunch of interesting stuff. We've just recently announced the opening of our new connectivity plant in Poland, which is supporting our hyperscale customers across Europe. As I said, we just completed an acquisition that cemented our place in the wireless space. We continue to see that as real growth opportunity, DAS and millimeter wave. And then we've also done, have some really interesting projects that we're working on in Australia in the science and sector that are kind of global, hard to describe, but global projects that create antennas for studying the universe. And we're delivering kind of the cable and connectivity to these massive array antennas in Australia, which is just kind of a fun project to be part of. So we're really busy and really excited and moving fast. Yeah, you've got a ton of great projects. I mean, the NFL, the work in Australia that you're doing it all very important to have that cable and that backline infrastructure. So, excellent. Is there anything else that you wanna share?
