Oh Geeeeez: How Access Network People Talk About “10G” … and Related G-Fare (Hello, 5G!) (Room 206)

Every once in a while, the stars align such that the potential and truth of a technological advancement lines up squarely to a marketing term to describe it – without making non-technologists cringe. 10G is one of those times. It shoulders up to mainstream bandwidth lingo cleanly (hello 10 Gigs), and it’s aligned with a known and proactive technological base (DOCSIS 3.1). Come hear Comcast explain how 10G will create a world-class platform delivering the capabilities to robustly power the real-time, broadband services of today and tomorrow with an intelligent, self-healing, broadband, and low-latency platform. Hear performance vs. expectations, lessons learned in the field, best practices derived, and guidance for prospective users of these technologies along with an update on the ongoing trials of Full Duplex DOCSIS (FDX). Additionally, Infinera will describe innovative technologies that allow network operators to elevate the metro core network to a whole new level of scalability, agility and automation with high capacity and improved capital and operational economics.
