Leveraging Ethernet over Copper
Delivering last-mile services represents both challenges and opportunities. Ethernet over Copper enables service providers to leverage their existing copper infrastructure to deliver enhanced services while reducing operating expenses. This session will discuss trends in Ethernet over Copper deployment; the market opportunity; how service providers and businesses are leveraging their existing investment of copper-based TDM business services assets; available technologies; and the business case and economics of Ethernet over Copper.

Wireline Product Strategies for the Wireless Era
As networks and telecom business models change, competitive carriers must evolve their voice service offerings to keep pace. This session looks at approaches for integrating a competitive, feature-rich wireline service with the increasingly mobile, broadband-enabled world in which your customers live. You will come away with information on the latest technologies from industry experts, and learn the hard-won experience of other carriers who have extended their product portfolio beyond POTS and PRI.

Security of the Cloud
The unification of network services and data center services open up new service delivery opportunities that enable service providers to increase revenues. This session will describe how the service provider data center delivers cloud services at scale and build a “multi-tenant” platform where compute, storage and network resources are stateless. Customers can run applications remotely with the same assurances as if they were on-premise or use the network to extend existing IT infrastructure to a cloud-based service. The service provider’s ability to provide a multi-tenant service platform with efficiencies provides their customers with reliable, cost-effective options for outsourcing IT services.

Next Gen Networks: Making a Smooth Shift to Packet-Based Transport
IP/MPLS over Ethernet blurs the line between transport and services, often resulting in organizational and operational inefficiencies within telco and cellular operators. This session discusses how new technologies, such as MPLS-TP (transport profile) and IP-optical integration, enable network designs that address and solve this problem by separating between packet-based transport and packet-based services and adhering to SONET-like operational models within the metro Ethernet. This session will focus on lessons learned in this area and best practices to date in realizing a smooth migration toward packet-based transport.

Wireless Backhaul
The fast growing demand for wireless smartphones, laptop data cards and other mobile devices is driving explosive growth in bandwidth requirements at cellular towers. As wireless carriers upgrade their networks to 3G and 4G technologies, their needs for backhaul connectivity from the cell towers to the mobile switching centers are changing rapidly. Join this panel of experts as they discuss the changing needs of wireless carriers and how companies in many areas of telecom can benefit from serving this fast growing marketplace. Learn more about 4G technologies such as Long Term Evolution (LTE) and WiMAX, and the network requirements to serve this demand as it shifts from voice oriented T-1 backhaul to high capacity Ethernet. Discuss the business case for building fiber to the cell tower and what other technologies such as microwave may fit into the backhaul solution.
