Interview for Network IQ , by IQGeo

In a landmark year for the broadband and electric utility industries, 2024 has been defined by groundbreaking advancements in fiber deployment and grid modernization, fueled by robust private and public investments. To provide a forward-looking perspective, IQGeo hosted an IQ Industry Chat, featuring insights from our Director General, Vincent Garnier and John D’Agostino, Global Power Industry Lead at ERM.

Vincent’s intervention addressed the critical operational challenges faced by telecom and utility operators as they navigate increasing demands for speed and cost-efficiency. Speaking on the necessity of operational excellence, he remarked:

"I think everyone faces operational challenges. And to deploy fast at lower cost with operational excellence requires tools and that is everybody's concern. Continuous improvement that takes place at every level of deployment.​"

His comments resonated within the context of the session, which explored where future investments might be concentrated, the business and technical hurdles operators must overcome, and emerging opportunities in 2025. Vincent’s emphasis on the importance of continuous improvement and tool adoption set a clear direction for the industry’s evolution in the coming year.
