DAY TWO: CONVERGENCE, TRANSFORMATION, AND NEW MILLIENNIUM INFRASTRUCTURES
Major shifts in user profiles and traffic trends, driven by exciting new applications and industry convergence, are radically changing our notion of telecom infrastructures and services. The emergence of all-IP broadband networks, combined with the convergence of services over such IP infrastructures have created the opportunity for the introduction of an entirely new class of rich-media applications, multi-dimensional user experiences, enhanced revenue streams and innovative business models. The 2.0 ecosystem has created a steady stream of evolution in networking technologies and blended services, as well as calling for service providers to learn how to diversify revenue streams by monetizing their intangible assets to their fullest potential. We’ll look at some case studies for real-life examples of convergence and transformation.
Day Two delivers a blueprint to understanding the many faces of convergence, and how they are driving the transformation of networks and service environment. There are many pieces that comprise the 21st century telecom puzzle, including IP infrastructures, IP services, the realm of rich-media visual and sensory applications, Next-Gen Network technologies, architectures and service delivery platforms, and optical networking. Understanding each piece will allow you to put together many telecom puzzles. And just for fun, we’ll finish the day by having you put all the pieces together – different networks, their key components, and the transmission links and protocols required within and between the networks!
