Zyxel Draws Major Attention at Fiber Connect 2025 in Nashville

From June 1–4, Zyxel Communications had a standout presence at Fiber Connect 2025, held at the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center in Nashville. Hosted by the Fiber Broadband Association, this premier event is the world’s largest gathering focused on fiber deployment, expansion, and innovation across North and Latin America—and it was a tremendous success.

Zyxel’s booth was one of the busiest on the show floor, consistently attracting heavy foot traffic throughout the event. Attendees lined up for our crowd-favorite coffee bar, where we served fresh Caffè Lattes, Espressos, Cappuccinos, and Iced Coffees that kept everyone energized. Adding to the excitement was our popular Claw Machine, which brought a fun and interactive element to the booth experience.

A major highlight was on June 2, when Zyxel President Karsten Gewecke delivered a compelling session titled “On Clouds, Heavy Lifting, Ecosystems, and Simple Logic.” The section was packed as Karsten explored the evolution of robust, cloud-based software solutions that amplify hardware performance. His talk spotlighted prpl’s service-driven innovation model and how ecosystem-centric strategies and simplified logic are shaping the future of broadband technology.

Following Karsten’s session, attendees flocked to Zyxel’s booth for our Brew, Bites & Broadband social hour. The networking event offered delicious snacks, refreshing beverages, and meaningful conversations with industry leaders in a lively and collaborative atmosphere.

Reflecting on the event, Steve Oberle, VP of Sales at Zyxel Communications, shared his thoughts on the team's performance and booth experience:

"Fiber Connect 2025 was an incredible success for us. Our booth consistently drew large crowds, and the energy was nonstop. From the coffee bar to the Claw Machine to our social hour, every element was designed to engage—and it worked. We had some of the highest traffic on the floor, and the feedback from attendees was overwhelmingly positive." - Steve Oberle, VP of Sales, Zyxel Communications

From engaging discussions to unforgettable booth experiences, Fiber Connect 2025 was a major win for Zyxel. We’re proud to have been part of such a dynamic event and look forward to building on this momentum in the year ahead.
