The mountains are about freedom and challenge. Forging new paths, acclimatisation and careful belaying.
Networks today demand the same approach from us: openness to multivendor solutions, skilful implementation of coherent modulation and quantum data security.
#Networking
At the Light Days, you'll meet like-minded networking enthusiasts. You'll chat over coffee about lambdas, fibre and wireless coverage. You'll be among network engineers, network administrators, presales. You'll feel like you're at base camp :)
#Network technologies
We know that what participants appreciate most about the Days of Light is the short talks, equipment presentations and substantive discussions. As always, we'll show you not only the functionalities but also the applications of our systems. You'll be prepared for a solid dose of knowledge about coherent modulation, transmission systems, cloud solutions and open networks.
#Afterparty we go to Everest
We're planning a high-altitude surprise for you. Details coming soon!
Which expedition will you join 23 October 2024 in Warsaw?
The K2 team/8611 asl. Salumanus.
They have already reached more than one peak in capacity. Experienced in building xWDM systems and optical transmission.
The Mount Everest team / 8849 asl DCN Europe.
Agile LAN and Wi-Fi guides. With them, you will have coverage even above the clouds.
Expedition plan
Why are coherent optical transceiver and IP-over-DWDM systems becoming more common in optical networks? And how does this translate into network cost efficiency? Learn about the advantages and disadvantages of IPoDWDM, monitoring and management challenges, and example applications. And for dessert, the MX800 transponder - one to rule them all
We will propose simple solutions to tame the growing stock of spare optical modules. We will discuss how the SRD 5 environment supports workflow by enabling accurate identification and tracking of optical modules. Furthermore, we will present practical examples of how SRD 5 can be used in everyday work, highlighting the benefits of improved efficiency and reduced errors.
LANs and WLANs are now part of the critical infrastructure of healthcare facilities. Without efficient Wi-Fi, it is also impossible to imagine a modern hotel facility. Efficient patient and guest care, from booking and registration to operating robot control, relies on network access. The demands placed on Ethernet-based solutions are increasing every year as the number of users and systems grows.
When embarking on the trail towards open optical networks, it is useful to know both the advantages and the potential risks. We will analyse who will benefit most from the technology and who may face difficulties, offering a comprehensive picture of the impact of open solutions on the industry.
What challenges do we face to bring 1.6T, 3.2T, 6.4T modules to market? How are the first commercial deployments at L-band looking, and when is it time for the next bands? We will discuss the future of optical transmission.
We will work out the Alien Lambda topic from the technical side. How to practically reconcile the operation of 400ZR pluggable optics with existing linear systems. Introducing this technology which is inherently ‘alien’ due to the independent nature of IP and optical management systems. We will show the impact of this change on traditional network management systems and how the Alien Lambda architecture can provide tangible benefits to operators and enable the successful implementation of this new technology.
