Webinar: Optimizing for Telecom Network Deployment Services Opportunity in 2023

The telecom infrastructure services (TIS) industry is a $35 billion market that is expected to evolve and expand rapidly in the next 10 years. Government funding is driving network expansion projects by major telcos, and a whole ecosystem of large, established and interrelated vendors are jockeying for positions on those projects.

 

That dynamic is making it more challenging than ever for telecom network deployment services providers to compete and win. Labor shortages, wage inflation, workforce aging and other trends are pressuring vendors’ ability to serve their existing customers, much less innovate and/or compete with a growing ecosystem of peers.

 

TBR has helped telecom infrastructure services vendors navigate these dynamics for nearly 30 years, and we regularly hear firsthand the problems that TIS companies are facing.

 

In this FREE webinar you’ll learn:

  • The current state and future outlook for telecom network deployment services
  • The four mega challenges facing TIS vendors
  • How vendors can overcome these challenges to pursue the market opportunity
