From having a real-time view of everything that is happening across a network, to rolling out new services and ensuring a positive customer experience, Operational Support Systems (OSS) are the key to monitoring, controlling and monetising networks. Traditionally, these systems have been largely physical parts of the network, but the switch from copper to fibre and the move towards running them in the cloud means vendors are having to rethink their offerings. This webinar aims to cover all areas of fibre network management with presentations from senior experts in the industry. SCHEDULE: We are planning a 2-hour webinar with four or five speakers, to be scheduled as follows: • A brief 5 minute intro from one of the moderators
SUSTAINABILITY IN TELECOM SERVICES AND TECHNOLOGIES – 29TH MARCH 2023
OPTICAL CONNECTIONS WEBINAR SERIES IN 2021 • Close to the Edge: Fibre for any-haul in 5G access networks – 31st March 2021 • Replacing the copper infrastructure – 26th May 2021 • Managing the fibre network – 15th July 2021 fixed optical network production and use in a larger context. He also discussed the electricity savings potential under different scenarios, and proposed policy and technology implications. GREEN ICT – CHALLENGES AND REQUIREMENTS Klaus Grobe, Senior Director Global Sustainability, ADVA This presentation gave an overview on ICT environmental aspects, focusing on wireline network equipment. Relevant drivers and challenges related to ICT’s environmental footprint were identified, including the question of longevity vs. energy efficiency. This was complemented by a brief overview on legal and other relevant requirements related to environmental sustainability in ICT. GREENER NETWORKS MADE POSSIBLE BY COHERENT INNOVATIONS Helen Xenos, Senior Director, Portfolio Marketing, Ciena In her presentation, Ciena’s Helen Xenos explained how greener networks are made possible by continuous innovation in coherent optical technology, which supports exponential capacity increases while keeping power and energy consumption in check. She said the surging demands of our hyperconnected world means businesses must continue to adapt and take action to transform their networks.
This first webinar in our 2023 series was a great success and enjoyed by the many participants who attended. Introduced and moderated by Market Focus committee members Stephan Neidlinger and Pierpaolo Ghiggino, presentations included: THE ENERGY AND CARBON FOOTPRINT OF ICT AND ENTERTAINMENT AND MEDIA. Jens Malmodin, Senior Specialist, Ericsson Jens Malmodin noted that energy and the carbon footprint of ICT have been constant since about 2010 while the footprints of entertainment and media have decreased significantly. He concluded that continuous improvements and miniaturisation year by year, and sometimes larger steps due to brand new technologies, has not only led to lower energy consumption, but also less overall use of materials. FUTURE TRENDS OF GREEN ALL OPTICAL NETWORKS IN A LARGE CONTEXT
