Packet Optical Transport Evolution
17 May 2012, New York City

Over the past couple of years, we have seen packet-optical transport expand from its metro origins both upstream into the core and downstream into aggregation and access networks. Large-scale OTN switching has emerged as an evolutionary bridge between the legacy Sonet/SDH world and the pure packet-switched world of the future, while connection-oriented Ethernet technologies, such as MPLS-TP, have continued to mature. In 2010, the optical industry hit a huge milestone with standardization of 100Gigabit Ethernet and 100G transport by the ITU-T and the IEEE. With many next-generation optical technologies moving from labs to commercial deployments, 2012 will indeed be decision time for network operators planning the next phase of their optical networks from access through the core.

Managing & Monetizing OTT Video
21 June 2012, Cambridge, MA

This new Light Reading Live! event takes a fresh look at the potentially seismic shifts that OTT video consumption is causing by focusing on how cable, telco, wireless and other service providers, need to be capitalizing on technology and market changes to create their own new business and revenue models. Internet traffic is expected to grow fourfold over the next five years, primarily driven by video. Given that video will account for the majority of all Internet traffic in 2012, pay-TV providers can hardly afford to sit on the sidelines. Not only will video revenues follow the path of the content itself, but OTT content threatens to clog broadband pipes and create new headaches for service providers unless they devise their own strategies for managing and monetizing OTT video. This one-day event lays out the challenges of OTT but focuses on ideas for meeting those challenges and explores the changing technologies that will enable those solutions and examines the proposed new business models that could make the difference.

Light Reading’s IPv6 conference returns after a hugely successful debut last year. This year’s theme, IPv6: The Rubber Meets the Road, speaks to the fact that service providers and enterprises are no longer pondering when to deploy IPv6 but are focused on how to manage this transition in a manner that is cost-effective and efficient in the short term but takes into account long-term needs and opportunities. This conference will inform the critical decisions that service providers and their customers need to make, bringing global IPv6 experts together to discuss the significant challenges inherent in this transition period, when IPv4 and IPv6 are coexisting in the network.
