ITW & INCLUSION FIRST PRESENT: BREAKING THE BIAS IN TELECOMS

You probably know that you will, at some point, migrate to SD-WAN but how do you know if your connectivity is fit for purpose?

The pace of change businesses face creates a need for agility and the flexibility, resiliency, and security to embrace new opportunities and resolve emerging challenges. Network providers have been adapting to be able to deliver more flexible solutions to their customers, including secure, SASE aligned SD-WAN and underlying network services amongst others. This webinar will explore partnerships and strategies to facilitate visibility and control, along with a competitive edge to enterprises.

- What key challenges are enterprises facing relating to network adaptability, secure access and service provision?
- How do emerging hybrid workplace models change network strategy?
- Can enterprises achieve more operational efficiency and cost savings by working with a managed service provider?
- What are carriers doing to make their services more attractive to customers?

Adaptability & The Shift to Flexible Hybrid Networks

CSPs have traditionally focused on improving B2C customer journeys online and in retail outlets. There is opportunity in digitally empowering the enterprise customer segment, both large enterprises and SMBs, by facilitating B2B digital commerce, using the power of 5G, IoT and open APIs to forge new digital ecosystems. 

CSPs can become true digital enablers and system integrators, offering their core assets in an as-a-service model to enterprise customers, using a platform approach.

In this webinar, we discuss connected enterprises and the role of integration to:

1. Enhance your customer experience journeys by containerizing & cloud-enabling legacy backend assets (Part 1)
2. Create new revenue opportunities by digitally empowering enterprise customers and SMBs (Part 2)

Connected enterprises – B2B opportunities for CSPs

In this webinar we will learn the reasons why the city of Queretaro, in Mexico, is becoming the most important digital hub in Latin-America. We will learn about the Mexican and Latin market and how the data explosion in those countries are leading a growing need for neutral infrastructure. Finally, we will present our solution for this increasing need, and how Mexico could connect with USA and the rest of the world.

The Mexican phenomenon: a new era of data explosion

In today’s telecom market, tighter margins, tougher competition, and the insatiable demand for bandwidth are all forcing global carriers to innovate at the speed of light.

Software-defined networking technology, or SDN, seems to be the answer to most of these challenges but as the concept continues gaining fervent adepts (and critics), it is becoming increasingly difficult to get unbiased information to make informed decisions.

This webinar will provide a view of SDN through the lens of a carrier network and give attendees some help to assess their organisation’s readiness and willingness to adopt SDN.

Capacity Media and NTT Ltd will host a live webinar on Thursday 30 September at 4pm London time (5pm Central European Time / 11am New York time) to discuss Software-defined networking technology (SDN) from the point of view of a carrier network and give attendees some help to assess their organisation’s readiness and willingness to adopt SDN.

During this webinar, participants will:

- Explore the technology behind the concept,
- Understand the impact on organizational and operational cultures, and;
- Learn from the case study that is NTT Ltd's experience with SDN.

The discussion will be led by Shawn Morris - Vice President, Systems, Applications & Software, Global IP Network Division of NTT Ltd.

The Myths and Realities of SDN – Best Practices and Lessons Learned

This webinar offers a spotlight on the Muscat IBX data center (MC1) and Internet Exchange, a joint venture between Equinix and Omantel, are strategically located in the heart of the digital ecosystem connecting Asia, Africa and Europe. This partnership is capitalizing on a unique strategy to extend the reach of the subsea cables landing in Muscat to MC1. This confluence of cable systems with carrier-neutral colocation, interconnection and peering has accelerated the growth of digital corridors linked with Oman including dynamic markets like Singapore and Pakistan as well as the local market, and this is expected to continue to grow further. In partnership with Equinix and Omantel.

Hosted by Capacity Media and Infinera, the live webinar will take place on July 28 at 4pm BST (5pm CEST).

Coherent transmission has been deployed in optical transport networks for over a decade.  In that time, individual wavelength data rates have increased by a factor of 20 – from 40 Gb/s in 2009 to 800 Gb/s today, over five generations of coherent technology.

From a network operator perspective, upgrading transponder technology is a non-trivial decision – operators need to have very good justifications for deploying a follow-on generation.

This webinar will focus on the top five reasons that network operators should consider an 800G solution and will suggest a minimum goal for the added value of moving through coherent generations in real network deployments.

Join Capacity Media and Infinera on July 28 at 4pm BST to learn more.

Top 5 Reasons to Deploy 800G Coherent Transmission

With today’s new satellite mega-constellations springing up in low-earth orbit (LEO) and plans for huge rollouts over the coming years from the likes of SpaceX, OneWeb and Amazon, space may overhaul the global connectivity landscape.

There are major growth opportunities for telecommunications companies (telcos) and satellite operators, as technologies such as 5G, edge computing, and the Internet of Things (IoT) become mainstream.

But telcos and satellite operators will need to work together to support this emerging “space race.” Satellite operators, in particular, should consider leveraging the extensive IP networks that telcos already have, and their other assets and relationships worldwide.

Join us as our guests look at what the future holds for the telcos and satellite operators and what steps do these “frenemies” need to take together to make the most of the vast potential benefits on offer from this new frontier.
