TKI Infrastructure Solutions, EVP

Jan Schindler has spent over 25 years in telecoms and digital infrastructure. He's seen fiber evolve from a niche technology into the backbone of global connectivity.

At TKI Infrastructure Solutions, he leads international business development. His focus is helping telecoms and infrastructure organizations digitalize the way networks get planned, built, and run.

Before joining TKI in early 2025, Jan held senior roles at Prysmian, Draka Communications, SSA Global Technologies, and the Baan Company. His work spanned market intelligence, strategy, and business development across Europe and North America.

He was active in the Fibre Council Europe (formerly FTTH Council Europe) for many years, chairing its Market Intelligence Committee from 2008 to 2018 and serving on its Board of Directors from 2020 to 2024, as well as on the Board of the Fibre Council MENA from 2015 to 2020.

Jan holds a MS degree in Business Engineering from the University of Applied Sciences Zittau, Germany, and a Bachelor degree in International Business from Oslo University College, Norway.

Connecting Every Building at Scale: Digitizing In-Building Fiber Deployment with NET Inhouse

 
TKI’s Execution Excellence in Fiber Rollouts: with more than 35 years of experience in telecom infrastructure software and fiber network engineering, TKI supports operators, contractors, engineering firms, and infrastructure owners in planning, building, documenting, and operating complex passive network infrastructures. From large-scale outside plant deployments to in-building fiber connectivity, TKI combines deep industry knowledge with proven digital workflows that help project teams reduce rework, minimize delays, improve transparency, and deliver networks more efficiently.

The session will show how teams can move from photos, PDFs, disconnected checklists, and manual handovers toward a fully digital workflow, from the first site survey to final as-built documentation.
 
Key Topics
  • Digitizing in-building fiber surveys using 3D scans and digital twins
  • Planning installation routes directly in the building model
  • Streamlining owner, customer, and stakeholder approvals
  • Reducing errors and rework through structured checklists and material logic
  • Improving visibility across orders, teams, documentation status, and QA
  • Supporting audit readiness and operational handover through automated as-built documentation
  • Accelerating MDU and commercial building connectivity at scale
 
Why This Matters
 
While outside plant deployment remains critical, many programs still lose time, margin, and momentum at the in-building stage.
 
This workshop will give attendees a practical view of how digital in-building workflows can help unlock faster customer activation, more reliable documentation, better execution control, and scalable deployment models for MDU and commercial fiber projects.
