Municipal Broadband: Enabling a Smart Community

In your community, leveraging a fiber network to make it "smart" has many benefits. Fiber can improve economic development by attracting new residents who work remotely and supporting the growth of local businesses. A "smart" community can also enhance quality of life by strengthening safety infrastructure, enabling remote learning, and providing high-speed internet connections to those you serve. With the additional bandwidth that fiber networks offer, communities can harness the growth and potential of a fiber network to move toward a brighter future.

Why Fiber? Future-Readiness for Your Municipal Broadband Network.

As demonstrated by our experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic, the need for connectivity will continue to grow alongside an ever-changing workforce dynamic. Fiber broadband networks are the best solution to this challenge due to their scalability and ability to support any bandwidth application. To properly prepare your network for the future, a "build it once" approach allows for the flexibility needed to accommodate ever-evolving customer demands. This approach involves preemptive planning in the initial design phase to anticipate future expansions and to keep capital expenses to a minimum as demand grows. Key considerations include deciding on the ideal fiber architecture for your application (e.g., fiber-lean vs. fiber-rich) and whether there is already usable network infrastructure in the area. Taking all of these factors into account will ensure that the utilization of your municipal fiber broadband network is maximized.

Expansion of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells on Corning® Synthemax™ II-coated Corning Dissolvable Microcarriers in a Serum-free Cell Culture Medium - Application Note - CLS-AN-480

Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) are currently the most common adult stem cell type used for cell therapy applications due to their regenerative properties and ability to differentiate into multiple cell lineages (adipocyte, chondrocyte, and osteocyte)1,2. Traditionally, hMSCs have been cultured on 2-dimensional cell culture platforms using serum-containing medium.
