TDM To Next Generation Networks (NGN) 101 (Room 202A)

The transition to NGN networks by service providers and the discontinued manufacturing and support of legacy TDM equipment have brought about an imminent change in utility telecom networks. Also, new utility requirements demand networks that can scale and converge applications such as voice, data, and video which necessitates utility organizations to modernize their existing networks. Making the transition from legacy SONET/TDM technologies to NGN technologies can be a complicated and challenging undertaking. Is your utility prepared to migrate from TDM based PDH and SDH/SONET technologies to next-generation packet-based networks? The TDM To Next-Generation Networks (NGN) 101 session is aimed at providing real-world utility insight and experiences from employees that are involved with the IP Transition process for their organizations. The 101 session will focus on their conversion to IP based networks, challenges faced, and future technology plans. If you play any role in this issue at your utility, you will not want to miss this session.
