16:00 - 16:30
Kahoot! | Q&A session
15:30 - 16:00
From Falcon 1 to Starship – xWDM systems and what to do as market expectations grow. A survey of the latest technologies, new versions, update potential and possible further developments.
J. Kolasiak | Ł. Sukiennik

Every year, the market expects faster and faster fibre-optic connections with greater capacities. Let us go on a journey of discovery to learn about transmission technologies that give us not gigabytes but terabytes of capacity over a single optical path, over a distance of not hundreds but thousands of kilometres. Not unlike the New Space industry, we, too, are getting ready to fly to the moon: we will soon be able to transmit tera- and even petabytes of data!  

15:00 - 15.30
Does every WATT count? The impact of optical modules on energy demand
A. Wojnar | Ł. Bogdanik

Does it feel like the powers are not on your side? Do you regularly lose sleep over growing energy demand in your server rooms? Do you feel anxious or insecure because of new climate regulations? We will help you fly over to the light side! You will see examples of gradual and revolutionary solutions to cut your energy costs with GBC Photonic’s optical modules.

14:30 - 15:00
Coffee break
13:45- 14:30
PANEL - Customer expectations vs. operator challenges - what does the future of the last mile look like? Innovation or maintaining old infrastructures in the 5G era? The challenges of interoperability in a multi-vendor world.
Kamil Schild, Paweł Śmiechowski, Bartłomiej Zaremba, Piotr Karny, Jarosław Gorczowski, Marcin Bała
12:45 - 13:45
Kahoot! | Lunch break
12:15 - 12:45
Cloud Management in the operator’s private cloud. Can this make sense?
J. Gorczowski

What is the behaviour of business clients like today? What are the current trends in the market and how to tap them to target end clients? Operator branding in a “private cloud” is a way to build your image, boost brand awareness, and consolidate services.

12:15 - 12:45
SRD 5.0 – what can the latest version do for you?
A. Wojnar | M. Owca

After five years and four GBC Photonics SRD generations, the time has come to launch the latest, fifth version of the SRD rocket. Expect some revolutionary updates! The environment will now be much easier to use, supporting next-generation modules and full system mobility. The new version was created in cooperation with young designers and UX specialists. Find out why SRD is at the very core of the true, universal optical module brought to you by GBC Photonics.

11:45 - 12:15

11:15 - 11:45
New network equipment – an opportunity or a headache?
G. Róż | G. Banach

Why test new equipment at all? New device series and models keep up with user expectations and open up new opportunities. Choosing from a greater range of options can help improve your TCO (Total Cost of Ownership). What challenges do operators face when testing new devices? How can we address them? How can we help operators boost testing effectiveness?

10:45 - 11:15
A suborbital rocket or a flight to the moon? Which xWDM technology will be best for you?
J. Kolasiak | Ł. Sukiennik

What to choose: CWDM, DWDM, or O-Band? Requirements, design, construction, launch. Transmission networks are not rocket science!

Small rockets can take single, light satellites to low orbits. Large rockets can tackle greater quantities, weights and distances. Everything depends on your system requirements and economic resources. This analogy applies perfectly to building optical transmission systems based on wave multiplexing. Our space engineers, or rather wavelength engineers, will tell you which technology, CWDM, DWDM, or O-Band, will get you the best results for which edge conditions.

10:15 - 10:45
Kahoot! | Coffee break
09:45 - 10:15
Managed WiFi – is there any money in it?
J. Gorczowski | J. Kołodziej

How to target Managed WiFi services at the HoReCa sector? What are the benefits for owners and operators, as compared to purchasing and managing their own equipment? We will discuss an example topology of a Managed WiFi solution in an operator’s network and its application in the financial sector.

09:15 - 09:45
May the Force be with you – Harness the power of QSFP coherent modules!
Ł. Sukiennik | A. Wojnar
