Now in its second year, Packet Optical Transport Evolution has quickly become North America's must-attend optical-networking event serving network operators and their suppliers. Packet-Optical Transport Evolution continues Light Reading Live's tradition of top-notch, analyst-driven conference sessions with the leading suppliers and service providers in the industry today, in an accessible setting that fosters real networking among decision makers.
The global optical networking market continues to grow, driven by a strong demand for broadband data and video applications, both fixed and mobile. This insatiable appetite for bandwidth – from both consumers and businesses – is at the heart of the trend toward packet and optical convergence, or re-crafting the optical network to predominantly handle packet traffic and applications. While packet-optical transport first emerged in metro networks, we are now seeing the trend start to expand in both directions, upstream into the core and downstream into the access. The impact of packet-optical convergence on the optical industry – including equipment suppliers, network operators, and components suppliers – will be profound. And this new packet-optical transport network, when it becomes reality, will, in turn, open up a multitude of exciting new operator services.
Keynotes & Featured Speakers
Event Moderators
Packet-Optical Transport Evolution is designed to ensure high-quality communication across all segments of the packet-optical transport market's value chain. Instead of focusing purely on technology, this event has been created to get people talking about how optical networks bring real value to networks and how they ultimately underpin an operator's success in a next-generation network world. Packet-Optical Transport Evolution brings together a top team of market analysts, leading service providers, and suppliers to explore critical issues facing the optical networking industry, while providing a showcase for the latest technologies and solutions.
The day will include panel sessions, keynote presentations, and roundtables. Topics covered in the conference will include:
