The pace of technological innovation, user demand, and the sophistication of new applications are all rapidly increasing. Will your network be able to keep up? If you build today, will the network support what your customers will require in 5 years? What about 10 years?

Join us to discuss the latest developments in utilities-based middle-mile architecture and how you can confidently meet tomorrow's requirements. Learn how to create a customized and secure OT network while delivering high-revenue services to premium broadband customers.

Key Takeaways:
    -  Hear how new developments in transport and routing technology will support new and probable future applications
    -  Learn how the middle mile is the logical network allocation for Service Awareness and Advanced Traffic Engineering
    -  Receive an update on recent innovations and economic trends that apply across the industry

Broadband Architecture for the Future

Middle-mile networks span from tens to several thousand kilometers and provide connectivity between last-mile access networks such as FTTH and mobile base stations and the core services and applications. The middle mile is essential for all operators looking to support new services. This can be both Service Providers delivering new revenue-generating services, or Network Operators delivering mission and business-critical services.

This webinar examines the service requirements that drive the new middle mile and the technologies that are required to build a new, service-aware middle mile able to meet these requirements.

Key learnings:
     · The relationship between  service performance and middle-mile architecture
     ·  How a vast array of different service performance needs can be delivered on a single network using a suite of service-aware  IP Optical technologies.
     ·  A practical approach to building a service-aware middle mile

Building An Intelligent Middle Mile

In the second and final part of the workshop, we will dive deeper into the technical solutions for Teams deployments and address any specific issues raised by participants during Part 1 of the workshop.

· Navigating the "in-between" state
· Creating an approach to evaluate multiple viable options

Ensuring Success of a Teams Phone Migration - Part 1

While industry experts struggle to find consensus on the path to Telco Cloud, almost everyone agrees that automation will play an outsized role in helping network operators overcome the challenges they face in adopting and successfully deploying Telco Cloud.

For many network operators, the very inefficient pace of their existing software upgrades is a key challenge they must address to migrate their network to a modern Telco Cloud.

Watch our webinar to get the latest view on Telco Cloud adoption and discover how and why test automation is the key to accelerating software upgrades, including benefits such as:

   - Reducing labor and time required for software upgrades
   - Increasing the extent and accuracy of test coverage
   - Accelerating upgrade frequency
   - Enabling access to new services & revenue opportunities
   - Reducing threat exposure by patching & upgrading sooner
   - De-risking unforeseen post-upgrade issues
   - Saving operational costs through higher efficiency

Test Automation: A Key to Telco Cloud Adoption

Today advances in optical networking are all about leveraging DSP technology to increase the baud rate. This reduces costs by delivering more capacity using fewer wavelengths and lower power consumption. The webinar shows how 5nm-140Gbaud transceiver technology, now in customer trials, delivers 1.2T wavelengths for short-haul, 800G across the entire metro-regional space, and unlimited reach 400G.
 
What you will learn:
   - How optical networking is being driven by advances in DSP technology
   - The performance and cost advantages that current generation 5nm-140Gbaud transceivers provides over previous generation 7nm-95Gbaud technology
   - How you can arrange a demo or trial of Ribbon’s 5nm-140Gbaud solution

Revolutionizing Optical Networking with 5nm-140Gbaud

TDM-based communications networks were supposed to be dead and buried by now… but they’re not. Doing nothing is becoming increasingly expensive as TDM network usage and revenue shrink but the fixed cost to run these massive networks is still in place. In this webinar, Ribbon will address how to rationally shed the costs of running these legacy networks while maintaining the high-margin revenue streams they still deliver. Ribbon will share its proven migration model that consistently delivers cost savings, simplifies management, and assures long-term platform sustainability.

  -  Virtualized call controllers
  -  TDM at the edge and Circuit Emulation
  -  Micro mobile networks to replace legacy deployments in remote locations

TDM Network Transformation to the Telco Cloud

Are you deploying SIP Trunks for IP-based carrier interconnection or to serve your enterprise customers? If yes, then you need a session border controller (SBC) to make sure your VoIP services are not a security risk and an attack vector.   Join Ribbon's Dan Teichman as he utilizes his years of experience in the telecommunications industry to share with you the latest information and recommendations on securing VoIP networks & services.

Network Security - Making Sure VoIP Is Not A Security Risk

IP over DWDM (IPoDWDM) can have a large impact on the total cost of ownership of a network.  Disaggregating the transponder solution, and installing the Digital Coherent Optic (DCO) directly in the router can both simplify the design and provide significant cost savings.  With the advent of ZR+ optics, and advances in silicon chip efficiency, IPoDWDM is poised to become the new standard.

Join Ribbon on June 14th at 11am ET/10am CT as we discuss all of the below and more:
   - What is IPoDWDM?  How is it different from traditional optical transport?
   - ZR+, an open standard for the industry.
   - This seems great, what's the catch?  Power consumption and thermals.

IPoDWDM: Simplify and Save!

Multiple technologies are capable of moving data quickly and efficiently across a network. When faced with a decision between Apples, Oranges, and Bananas - Which one is right for you? DWDM Switching, Routing? What, Where, and Why!

Transport Technologies: What, Where & Why?

Organizations around the globe are moving to Teams for video conferencing, file sharing and chat.  Ribbon makes it easy to extend those capabilities by securely connecting Teams to an external telephone network, turning Teams into the office phone system.  Organizations can immediately move some or all of their business phone calls to Teams or slowly migrate off of a legacy PBX, depending on their needs.  And since Teams clients work on a PC/Mac or smartphone, users can make and receive calls from almost anywhere, on any device, staying connected and productive.

The key is Ribbon’s Session Border Controller, Software Edition (SBC – SWe Edge). It lives in the Azure Cloud and provides a secure bridge between your enterprise network and a Communication Service Provider (CSP).  There is no hardware to deploy or manage, as everything is in the Azure Cloud. The solution is operational in minutes and can scale up or down as needed.  Ribbon even offers a 30-day trial license so your organization can try it out.
