Having a reliable and durable #telecommunications infrastructure is more important now than ever, especially with technological advances such as 5G mobile networks, cloud computing, and the internet of things enhancing connectivity around the world. Thanks in part to the materials, the average lifespan of fiber optic cables is expected to exceed 35 years while still maintaining its efficacy.   On March 28, join me and Fiber Broadband Association for a conversation about how we’re creating a fiber optic cabling infrastructure that can support both existing and future applications for decades to come.   Register for the webinar here: https://lnkd.in/ghJK8Kb6

Have you ever wondered how computers and devices are connected within a building or even across the world? Through millions of miles of fiber optic cables that help keep us connected, we’ll soon be able to access 5G from wherever we are.   That means, as the #telecommunications industry continues to grow, they must prioritize high quality wire and cable materials to improve performance and provide greater reliability with increased demand for more coverage.   To hear more, I shared my insights about the importance of material science for the future of #connectivity with @Wire Journal International: https://lnkd.in/e-2y3N9y.

Around the world, communities are upgrading outdated infrastructure with resilient and sustainable pipe systems. Our CONTINUUM™ Bimodal Polyethylene Resins help enable the development of durable pipes for water and natural gas distribution that are high-performing in any climate, require less maintenance and resist leaks and corrosion.

As the power sector moves towards enhancing #sustainability in the energy transition, Dow Infrastructure is creating reliable solutions designed to help decarbonize and transform the industry. Learn more: https://dow.inc/3u80MTh.

According to the Federal Communications Commission, 22.3% of Americans in rural areas lack coverage from fixed terrestrial 25/3 Mbps broadband. Yet, working from home or conducting research for school requires a broadband connection that is reliable and allows for high performance. Dow Infrastructure is helping bridge the current digital divide through modern material solutions like AXELERON™ and CONTINUUM™, which contribute to the creation of fiber optic systems that are easy to manufacture, install, expand, and last longer than ever before.
