2009 CONFERENCE PROGRAM

Objectives

This workshop will explore the future of packet transport, optical technologies and converged packet-optical networking. Case studies, network planning scenarios and opportunities relevant to the highly competitive Indonesian market environment will be examined.

Participants will take away new insights and ideas into how Capex and Opex savings can be realized through the efficient scalability and strict service assurance capabilities of the latest packet transport (Carrier Ethernet) and optical technologies (DWDM/ROADM) for national backbone, metro and backhaul deployments.

Target Audience:

Fixed and Mobile Operators / Service Providers including&hellip CTOs… Heads of Network Infrastructure… Transport and Data Network Engineers… Technology Planning and Strategy Directors

Industry vision: The future of packet transport + optical networking and how operators in Indonesia can benefit:

• Review of the opportunities and challenges facing Indonesia's operators looking to upgrade and transform legacy networks to increase capacity and QoS in a highly competitive market
• Roadmap, timescales and latest thinking on operator migration to the new generation of packet transport and optical technologies
• Emerging architecture and drivers for closer integration of packet transport and optical networking for services such as Carrier Ethernet, L2/L3 VPNs and Mobile Backhaul.
• How Indonesian operators can benefit from these developments in terms of better management, energy efficiency, flexibility and savings in Capex and Opex with converged packet-optical networks
• Examining the potential for "active infrastructure sharing" and its relevance in terms of facilitating industry consolidation in Indonesia
• How active infrastructure sharing is achieved to ensure complete traffic separation and security - Combining the interplay of packet layer capabilities together with optical wavelength switching
