Conference Day One – Tuesday 20th April

Building a Packet Transport Network for the NGN

  • Assessing the role and benefits of packet transport networks
  • Evolving the SDH infrastructure to cost-effectively support the growth in packet based traffic
  • Building a flexible transport infrastructure to support rising demand for 1G and 10G Ethernet services in the access and 40G/100G in the metro and core

Packet Optical Transport Platforms

  • Assessing the benefits of converged Packet Optical Transport Network P-OTN systems/ platforms – can a single unified platform meet service providers’ NGN requirements?
  • Highlighting the new services and SLAs enabled by packet transport networks
  • Examining the credentials of IP-Optical Integration as a simple and cost effective carrier grade packet transport solution for the NGN
  • Comparing different approaches to packet and optical network evolution – how will the NGN transport network develop?
Ethernet Transport Networks
  • Migrating from TDM to packet whilst maintaining customer relationships and keeping costs to a minimum
  • Building a Carrier Ethernet network, considering competing approaches to core, metro and access network design
  • Sharing a practical approach to scaling Ethernet throughout the network


Conference Day Two – Wednesday 21st April

 
Technology Spotlight - MPLS-TP, MPLS Transport Profile
  • Examining the rise of MPLS-TP as a packet transport solution for the metro and access
  • Considering the practical implementation challenges of MPLS-TP – assessing the OAM features currently offered
  • Examining different network management (OSS) approaches to packet transport networks – comparing IP/MPLS and packet transport management tools
  • Investing in packet transport to cost effectively scale the IPTV infrastructure
  • Will MPLS-TP replace SDH?

Mobile Backhaul and Wholesale Ethernet Services

  • Deploying Ethernet in mobile backhaul – a status report
  • Building Ethernet access infrastructure for wholesale mobile backhaul applications
  • Deploying packet transport to support mobile broadband service rollout – HSPA/HSPA+ and examining the requirements for LTE
  • Explaining the proposed regulatory framework for the NGN and considering the competition requirements on future packet networks

Synchronisation in packet transport networks

  • Introducing the challenges and potential solutions for maintaining synchronisation in packet transport networks
  • Identifying and assessing practical solution options for synchronisation in the evolution from TDM to packet transport networks
