Friendly Technologies CEO to Present at Fiber Connect 2026

Friendly Technologies announced that its CEO, Ilan Migdal, will present at Fiber Connect 2026. The conference runs May 17–20 at the Gaylord Palms in Orlando. Migdal's presentation will focus on how broadband providers can expand beyond basic connectivity into Smart Home services.

The session will examine technologies including Matter, prpl, AI, and TR-369/USP. These tools are intended to help operators reduce customer churn, increase average revenue per user, and lower support costs. "Smart Home is no longer only about controlling lights or sensors," said Ilan Migdal, CEO of Friendly Technologies.

The presentation will also discuss moving from fragmented Smart Home setups to a carrier-led model. Migdal plans to address how Matter can unify home devices, how prpl can convert routers into service platforms, and how AI can improve customer support.

Friendly Technologies stated that broadband providers are positioned to lead Smart Home services because they control the home gateway and maintain ongoing subscriber relationships.

The company provides device management and IoT platforms to telecom operators worldwide. Its platforms support TR-069, TR-369/USP, LwM2M, MQTT, Wi-Fi experience management, and AI-driven diagnostics.
