INCA Technical and Operations Conference 2022

The UK’s capability to design, build and operate the fibre and wireless networks on which we all increasingly rely, is critical. In this conference, we will explore and discuss the importance of the right tools for network design, and operations, look at the latest developments in the build process and how best practice can reduce time and costs.

The conference will also address wholesale standards and consider the role of standards and other issues in the valuation of networks from the point of view of merger and acquisition.

This one day online conference will also provide plenty of opportunities to network, meet and discuss with your peers, suppliers and customers.

Anyone who participated in last year's event will know that this is an excellent information- and value-packed day not to be missed. Essential for anyone in the industry who needs to be up to speed on the current state of the art.

This event is generously sponsored by:
