Upcoming Webinars
Date: 8/27/2008 12:00 p.m. New York / 5:00 p.m. London
Event: Energy Efficiency in Telecom Networks
Sponsors: ADVA Optical Networking, Juniper Networks, Nokia Siemens Networks
Host: Neil Hollingum, Independent Analyst, Light Reading
Click Here to Register
The rising cost of energy means that power efficiency is key to managing the bottom line in fixed and wireless telecom networks. This Webinar will explore the latest trends in power-efficient technologies and the ways in which those technologies are being applied in telecom networks to both diversify the energy sources that are used in such networks and to use all of them more efficiently.
Date: 9/3/2008 12:00 p.m. New York / 5:00 p.m. London
Event: Deep Packet Inspection: The Engine for Broadband Service Growth
Sponsors: Interphase, Radware
Host: Graham Finnie, Chief Analyst, Heavy Reading

Use of DPI has grown rapidly over the past two years, largely to control bandwidth hogs such as P2P traffic. However, DPI products are getting more sophisticated, and could (and increasingly are) being used in a much wider range of ways, including security applications, video service acceleration, ad insertion, promotional campaigns, service tiering and much more. This Webinar will look at how DPI technology is evolving, and in particular how it can be used to improve the quality and range of broadband services and packages.
Date: 9/9/2008 12:00 p.m. New York / 5:00 p.m. London
Event: Multi-Platform Video Distribution
Sponsors: Alcatel-Lucent
Host: Adi Kishore, Senior Analyst, Heavy Reading

Service providers around the world are looking at triple- and quad-play bundles to cut churn, expand their subscriber bases, and increase revenues. But beyond just offering multiple services, operators will need to provide consumers with an integrated experience across device platforms. This is particularly true of video services, which can be integrated across three screens: PC, TV, and mobile device. What are the key requirements to ensure a seamless experience for the consumer? What important challenges must be confronted before such a service can be successful?
Date: 9/10/2008 12:00 p.m. New York / 5:00 p.m. London
Event: The Role of Ethernet in the Rise of Packet Optical Transport Systems
Sponsors: Alcatel-Lucent, Data Connection
Host: Sterling Perrin, Senior Analyst, Heavy Reading
Click Here to Register
Optical transport has begun its migration to packets – more specifically, Ethernet transport. As Ethernet becomes ubiquitous in the access network, equipment suppliers are hard at work on new products that are built for Ethernet and WDM but can accommodate legacy Sonet/SDH protocols. New technologies including PBT and T-MPLS are important, as well as innovations in component integration. This Webinar will present a clear roadmap for how operators will migrate their optical transport networks to support packetized services.
Date: 9/11/2008 12:00 p.m. New York / 5:00 p.m. London
Event: The Role of Policy Control in Mobile WiMax Networks
Sponsors: Bridgewater Systems, Openet
Host: Andy Bray, Independent Analyst, Light Reading
Click Here to Register
New open-access technologies like WiMax bring fresh challenges for operators. Enabling new devices to be automatically provisioned over the air, admission of new users, and delivering appropriate services and applications are all vital to the subscriber’s quality of experience. This Webinar examines the key role that policy control plays in meeting these challenges, and goes on to explain how policy can be used to deliver enhanced services that take into account dynamic subscriber information, such as service level, account status, location, time, and date.
Date: 9/16/2008 12:00 p.m. New York / 5:00 p.m. London
Event: Ethernet Microwave for Low-Cost Point-to-Point Connectivity
Sponsors: DragonWave, Harris Stratex Networks
Host: Gabriel Brown, Senior Analyst, Heavy Reading
Click Here to Register
New generations of point-to-point Ethernet microwave equipment are enabling operators and enterprises to derive the same autonomy in their network build that this technology has always afforded them, only now with much greater capacity and flexibility. From cellular backhaul to enterprise connectivity, Ethernet microwave products complete with new techniques like adaptive modulation offer new tools for the communications needs of public and private network operators.
Date: 9/17/2008 10:00 a.m. New York / 3:00 p.m. London
Event: Network Data Center: Targeted Data Center Technologies for Telecom Network Efficiencies*
Sponsors: HP
Click Here to Register
Service providers are migrating to next-generation converged networks with the network data center as the focus for delivering and managing emerging IP and Web-based services. Network data centers are the facilities used to house computer systems and associated components to provide telecommunications-based services and applications. HP’s Network Data Center (NDC) program provides the core building blocks to deploy telecom applications with data center efficiencies, leveraging HP technologies, methodologies, and services. Join HP on Wednesday, September 17, at 10:00 a.m. New York / 3:00 p.m. London time and let HP highlight some of the opportunities and challenges of converging networks.

Date: 9/18/2008 2:00 p.m. New York / 7:00 p.m. London
Event: Fiber Extensions for Cable: An Overview of RFoG
Sponsors: Cisco, CommScope, Hitachi, Salira
Host: Alan Breznick, Senior Analyst, Heavy Reading
Click Here to Register
Seeking the best of both worlds, cable engineers are exploring ways to add fiber extensions to conventional HFC networks without disrupting their existing cable headends, modems, and set-top boxes. “Radio frequency over glass” (RFoG) is the most prominent of those efforts, with SCTE now drafting standards, equipment vendors developing solutions, and several MSOs testing the concept. This webinar gives an overview of how the technology works, examines what costs would be involved, and goes on to discuss the benefits and what cable operators would use these fiber extensions for.
Date: 9/23/2008 2:00 p.m. New York / 7:00 p.m. London
Event: The Future Role of the Media Gateway
Sponsors: Genband
Host: Andy Bray, Independent Analyst, Light Reading
Click Here to Register
The media gateway continues to be a dominant fixture of the VOIP landscape. This Webinar examines the current role played by the MG, as well as the potential to support new capabilities in the future, as new, higher-density hardware configurations become commonplace.

Event: Xirrus WiFi for Conference Centers: Planning, Deploying, and RF Management for High Density Environments*
Sponsors: Xirrus
Host: Tim Kridel, Senior Analyst, Heavy Reading; Perry Correll, Director of Product Marketing, Xirrus
Click Here to Register
Deploying WiFi solutions in convention centers, auditoriums, hotel meeting spaces, and other conference rooms places unique demands on the wireless infrastructure. This presentation identifies the challenges faced in these environments and then discusses how Xirrus customers have deployed high-performance WiFi arrays to not only meet, but exceed their WiFi requirements with a wired-like quality of experience.
