Market Forecasts for High-Speed and Access Networks

Sponsored by: Lightwave e-Conference
Available on demand
 In many ways, the explosion of high-bandwidth services to businesses and residences in the access space is one of the main drivers for increasing metro and core network speeds. The two markets are therefore closely aligned. Our joint keynote will include two presentations from Infonetics Research analysts.The first will be presented by Jeff Heynen, who will look at "The Future of FTTH/B." The...  Learn more

Top Techniques & Tools for Overcoming High-Speed Optical Network Challenges

Sponsored by: Anritsu Company,  Lightwave e-Conference
Available on demand
 The communications industry is faced with expanding bandwidth in the network’s core and the demand for faster data interconnects is resulting in extensive R&D into high-speed physical-layer circuits and devices. Manufacturers performing optical modulator testing are concerned with the physical manifestations of the communication channel including: the accuracy with which the photonic system...  Learn more

Optical Internetworking Forum's 100G Activities

Sponsored by: Lightwave e-Conference
Available on demand
 The Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF) has received plenty of attention for its attempt to create a supplier ecosystem for 100-Gbps technology based on dual-polarization quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK) with coherent detection. But the effort requires more than just picking a modulation format. Joe Berthold, Vice President Network Architecture at Ciena and former OIF president, will review...  Learn more

Beyond Triple Play—Alternative FTTx Services

Sponsored by: Lightwave e-Conference
Available on demand
 The value of FTTx architectures in bringing triple-play voice, video, and data services to residences and businesses is well documented. But at some point, the triple play won’t be enough to maintain competitive differentiation – and may not be enough to create a viable business model initially. Sanjay Patel, CTO, Wireline Networks Product Division of Alcatel-Lucent, will review how carriers are...  Learn more

High-Speed Access Networks

Sponsored by: Lightwave e-Conference
Available on demand
 Standards activity is well underway for 10-Gbps PONs, with initial 10G EPON specifications already ratified. GPON standards should follow in the near future. However, other approaches to next-generation access infrastructure have been both proposed and, in some cases, fielded. These include WDM-PON as well as the use of orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM). This session, featuring...  Learn more

Fiber Handling Essentials for Next Generation Networks

Sponsored by: JDSU
Available on demand
 Fiber connectors are widely known as the weakest and most problematic points in a network. The more connections there are in a network, the greater the potential for interruption caused by improper handling during installation, operation, expansion and maintenance. The recognition of the negative impact of poor fiber handling on network performance is bringing about the development and...  Learn more

Testing Challenges in DCB and FCoE

Sponsored by: JDSU
Available on demand
 Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) technology maps the impeccable advantages of Fibre Channel on performance, security, and effectiveness in terms of storage transportation onto Ethernet network. As such, FCoE requires also elevated enhancements (Data Center Bridging (DCB) protocols) on the conventional Ethernet to be more competent for critical data exchanges. The presentation will discuss from...  Learn more
