It will introd uce a distributed edge architecture that integrates fiber-to-the-edge\, fa ult-managed DC power\, and centralized control. Key topics include deliver ing sustained 10G performance at the edge\, supporting Wi-Fi 6/7\, edge co mpute\, and IoT workloads\, reducing reliance on traditional IDF rooms and line-voltage electrical infrastructure\, and lowering both CAPEX and OPEX by powering and operating additional devices on fault-managed networks.\n \nBeyond traditional data transport\, the fault-managed network architectu re enables power and connectivity for devices historically served by line- voltage systems\, including lighting\, lighting controls\, security system s\, and USB power outlets.\n\nThe discussion will also address how fault-m anaged power and fiber-based infrastructure simplify future upgrades\, imp rove system resiliency\, and minimize operational disruption—making this approach particularly well suited for large buildings\, campuses\, health care\, education\, and other mission-critical environments.\n\nCost:\n$60. 00 (Members Paid-in-Advance) Reservation Deadline: 01/21/2026\n$65.00 (Non -members Paid-in-Advance / Members Paid-at-Door)\n$70.00 (Non-members Paid -at-Door)\n\nSpeaker(s): Matt Conger\n\nBldg: Olive Grove Restaurant\, 705 N.
