SPECIAL FOCUSSESSIONS FOR 2015:
www.nextgenerationoptical.com
Hello... The 17th annual Next Generations Optical Networking event returns to Nice this year and its going to be even bigger and better then ever with an anticipated audience of 700+ professionals from the entire optical networking ecosystem - from service providers, data centre operators and all the way to the system vendors and component vendors.
The goal of the event is to allow service providers to exchange their ideas, develop expertise and share best practice. The interactive programme incorporates a mixture of case study presentations, technical workshops and panel discussions. Join us and benefit from four interactive days of discussion, debate and networking.

Enabling Your Network with Capacity and Agility for a Web-Scale World Start 11.00 End 14.00
Alcatel-Lucent Customer Briefing Start 14.30 End 17.30
Network Convergence: Architecture Innovation Shift Anticipating the Future while Migrating the LegacyStart 14.30 End 17.30
Whether your network spans across town or across the ocean, this workshop will explore the details of how new innovations in coherent chipsets, platforms, architectures, and services will enable you to build higher capacity networks with reduced power, footprint and better economics, with SDN programmability providing unprecedented agility to make the network more responsive to unforeseen demands and applications.
We will hear a customer case study on their next generation network and service plans, what they are trying to achieve and why. We will then explore how to monetise this network to deliver fixed, mobile small cell, enterprise and datacenter services, and enable new differentiated on-demand services and software based virtualised IT applications.
This workshop will provide participants with Alcatel-Lucents viewpoint on Next Generation Optical Networking.
Please refer to www.nextgenarationoptical.com for updates.
This session will explore how these systems deliver lower latency alongside greater reliability, flexibility, and scalability, and how technologies such as DWDM, optical transport networks, and reconfigurable optical add drop multiplexing function.
These platforms use newer modulation techniques and architectures such as coherent transmission, forward error correction, digital signal processing, and optical amplification and switching using legacy and new fibers designed for 100G+ data rates to address higher data rates.
