“The FTTXcellence Award recognizes visionaries who bring
attention to major advancements in the FTTx space,” said Clark

eager to recognize those who have been generating momentum toward
the ultimate goal of bringing fiber to every business and
residential subscriber.”
“The quality of the nominations we’ve seen over the years has
risen tremendously,” added Stephen Hardy, editorial director and
associate publisher of Lightwave, which has been the leading source
of technical information for optical communications strategists
worldwide for more than 25 years. “This year I expect to see even
more diversity as the number of applications in North America using
FTTx technology continues to increase.”
