MicroTCA brings AdvancedTCA’s cost savings to wireless and wireline access networks, giving equipment makers a standardized framework on which to create smaller and cheaper products. With the first MicroTCA systems just now being deployed, this is a great time to revisit the benefits and value delivered by this flexible platform. In this Webinar we review the latest developments for MicroTCA systems, including MCH and AMC modules, and take a close look at the applications that are benefiting most from MicroTCA, including WiMax, media gateways, and access systems.


Date: 5/20/2008 12:00 p.m. New York / 5:00 p.m. London

Cellular operators are under a lot of pressure to slash the cost of connecting base stations to their networks. This Webinar reviews ways of achieving this by adopting alternatives to traditional TDM circuits – alternatives that range from microwave to such things as pseudowire connections over IP/Ethernet infrastructure.


Date: 6/3/2008 2:00 p.m. New York / 7:00 p.m. London
Event: 40- & 100-Gig Technology & Components
Sponsors: Emerson Network Power
Host: Simon Stanley, Senior Analyst, Heavy Reading
Click Here to Register
Forty- and 100-Gbit/s networking represents a major opportunity for system and component vendors. The rapidly growing number of broadband subscribers and the increased use of 10-Gigabit Ethernet are forcing carriers and enterprise network managers to look for higher bandwidth solutions. At this critical period, components are a key part of the 40/100G ecosystem. In this Webinar, we will review the technology and the expanding range of components, the market need, and the remaining challenges as the industry moves to 40- and 100-Gig networking.


Date: 6/5/2008 12:00 p.m. New York / 5:00 p.m. London
Event: SIP & Its Application in Next-Gen Services
Sponsors: Continuous Computing, Data Connection, Mu Security, Tekelec
Host: Jim Hodges, Independent Analyst, Light Reading
Click Here to Register
Session Initiation Protocol has been adopted as a cornerstone of IMS and plays a key role in the rollout of flexible next-gen IP services, including voice, video, messaging, and presence, as well as enabling integration capabilities like click-to-dial. This Webinar explores the application of SIP in a variety of VOIP-related applications and discusses the efforts underway to extend SIP for business functions (SIP-B).
