Fiber network planning & design: Scaling fiber builds without the chaos.

Welcome to Bitesize Fiber, the podcast that tackles the biggest challenges in fiber and telecom one bite at a time.

Scaling a fiber rollout from a small pilot to hundreds of thousands of homes brings serious challenges - from permitting delays and labor shortages to costly redesigns.

In this episode of Bitesize Fiber, Stephen Baker and Jeroen Vanhaverbeke join host Ellie Puls to share real-world strategies for growing fiber deployments efficiently. They discuss why proof-of-concept builds matter, how to manage construction complexity, and how repeatable workflows can keep chaos at bay. If you’re scaling a network, this episode could save you time, money, and frustration.
