Fortress at Metro Connect Fall: September 1 - 3, 2026

Connecting with industry leaders and advancing the future of digital infrastructure

Fortress is heading to Austin, Texas, this September for Metro Connect Fall 2026, taking place September 1–3. We’re looking forward to connecting with the companies and leaders shaping the next generation of digital infrastructure.

As AI, fiber, edge computing, satellite connectivity and data center infrastructure continue to expand, the industry is under increasing pressure to deliver critical infrastructure faster, at greater scale and with greater predictability.

That is where Fortress comes in.

Building Infrastructure for What Comes Next

Fortress is focused on helping clients move critical infrastructure projects from planning to deployment with a more integrated, standardized and scalable approach.

From long-haul fiber and ILA infrastructure to satellite ground stations, edge infrastructure and modular data centers, today’s projects are becoming increasingly complex. Tight deployment timelines, evolving technical requirements, supply chain considerations, power constraints and coordination across multiple stakeholders can all introduce risk and delay.

Fortress was built to address those challenges.

By bringing together planning, engineering, procurement, manufacturing, logistics and field execution, Fortress helps create a more coordinated path to deployment, giving customers greater visibility and predictability throughout the project lifecycle.

Our focus is simple: make infrastructure deployment faster, more scalable and more predictable.

Where Connectivity Meets Deployment

Metro Connect Fall provides an opportunity for our team to bring that conversation directly to the companies building and scaling digital infrastructure.

The 2026 event brings together leaders from across fiber, data centers, hyperscalers, construction, energy, investment and connectivity, all areas increasingly interconnected as demand for digital infrastructure accelerates.

For Fortress, these conversations are about understanding the challenges our customers are facing today and exploring how we can help solve them. Whether it’s accelerating an ILA deployment, supporting a new satellite ground station, developing infrastructure for edge computing or creating scalable solutions for growing data center requirements, the goal remains the same: help customers deploy critical infrastructure with confidence.

Proud to Sponsor the Digital Infrastructure Leaders' Forum

Fortress is also proud to sponsor the Digital Infrastructure Leaders' Forum, bringing our team into conversations with executives and industry leaders discussing the opportunities and challenges shaping the sector.

Sponsoring the forum is a natural fit for Fortress. We believe the future of digital infrastructure will be shaped not only by new technologies, but by how effectively the industry can bring those technologies into the field.

That means better coordination. More standardized solutions. Smarter sourcing. Faster deployment. And a greater focus on reducing the risks that can slow critical infrastructure projects down.

These are the conversations we want to be part of.

If you're attending Metro Connect Fall, we’d love to connect!

Whether you're planning a new deployment, looking to accelerate an existing project, evaluating infrastructure solutions or simply interested in discussing where the industry is headed, our team would be happy to meet.
