DZS CEO to Discuss “Bridging the Digital Divide” through U.S. Federal Funding Programs at Fiber Connect 2022

Charlie Vogt to discuss ways nontraditional network operators can leverage U.S. federal funds to bring fiber broadband to unserved and underserved areas

DALLAS, June 07, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — DZS (NASDAQ: DZSI), a global leader in access networking infrastructure, service assurance and consumer experience software solutions, today announced that its CEO, Charlie Vogt, will present at Fiber Connect 2022, the world’s leading optical fiber business and technology event, taking place in Nashville, Tennessee on June 12-15, 2022. Mr. Vogt will participate in the moderated panel discussion “Federal Focus: Bridging the Digital Divide.” Other panelists will include Radha Sekar, CEO, USAC; Jim Stegeman, CEO, CostQuest Associates; Xochitl Torres Small, Under Secretary for Rural Development, USDA; and Stefaan Vanhastel, CTO Fixed Networks, Nokia. The session will take place on Monday, June 13 (Day 2) from 9:05 am–09:45 am CST at Nashville’s Gaylord Opryland Resort.

“Just like rural electrification almost a century ago provided a catalyst to the economic prosperity and modernization of rural America, bridging the digital divide with hyper-fast broadband and enabling unserved and underserved communities to participate in the gig economy and society will be essential in positioning the U.S. as a thriving force in the future,” said Mr. Vogt. With over $70 billion in government stimulus available now or coming available soon, and an equally strong appetite for private investment, there have never been more opportunities to hyper-connect rural and underserved America, and DZS is thrilled to be a key enabler in turning the promise of these programs into reality. A strategic approach to each project that balances technical feasibility, flexibility and readiness for the future with operational efficiency, agility, and consumer experience management and service assurance will be critical to long-term success, and I look forward to sharing our vision and experience of how service providers can find their optimal path to economic prosperity for both their communities and themselves.”
