10:20 – 10:50 China Mobile Readiness of 50G-PON in terms of technology, standard and ecosystem Speaker: Junwei Li, Senior Expert on Optical Access The ITU-T has recently consented a series of standards related to 50Gb/s passive optical network (50G-PON), which represents a significant leap from the current 10G-PON systems. Such an advance is made possible by innovations in optical transceiver components, digital signal processing based channel equalization, and enhanced forward error correction. 50G-PON also introduces new capabilities such as low-latency operation via cooperative dynamic bandwidth allocation and expanded cryptographic features. With these improved capabilities, 50G-PON is well positioned to meet the demanding requirements of emerging services. In this talk, the readiness of 50G-PON in terms of technology, standard and ecosystemwill be presented. 10:55 – 11:25 EPIC – European Photonics Industry Consortium Emerging Industrial Manufacturing Requirements Including Private 5G Communications, IIoT Sensors, and Security Speaker: Tracey Vanik, Head of Photonics Market Research Industrial Applications increasingly utilize a wide variety of photonic sensors to enable real-time dynamic processmonitoring. Supporting the high bandwidth images, 5Gnetworks are emerging as the best solution to support Industry 4.0 process communications as well as the information fromnumerous remote sensors. Yet there are additional elements that must be taken into consideration for successful operations - including timing and security. This presentationwill examine the important role photonics plays in industrial applications including 5GPrivateNetworks, real-time imaging & equipment control, synchronization, high-speed connectivity, and even security for connected IIoT devices. Can Optical keep up with evolving RAN requirements? Speaker: Peter Finn, Strategic Head of Product Line Optical From 1 to 5G, Radio technology continues to advance. Operators are constantly challenged to stick or twist with respect to when and where to invest in a very public competition to provide the highest performing network. With performance measures openly available, and operators under pressure to deliver shareholder value, Can optical technology keep pace and help provide faster, &more flexible solutions at the right cost? 12:05 – 12:35 QXP Technologies Inc Innovative single wavelength BIDI transceivers will reshape optical communications Speaker: Spark Xu This presentation will introduce the innovative single wavelength transceiver, which is different from the conventional circulator or 3-dB splitter type solutions, and which has superior performance and cost. A brief description of the mechanism of single wavelength BIDI is given, and test-bed system results will highlight the excellent performance QXP's 50G BIDI modules. This innovative technology has three major advantages: I. It simplifies the carrier's inventory management and network construction; II. It doubles the wavelength capacity; III. It reduces up/down link time differences down to the ps level, thus meeting more rigid specs of next generation systems. The technology will bring significant improvements to optical networks. 11:30 – 12:00 Ericsson Telecommunicazioni SpA
12:40 – 13:10 LightCounting Market Research Fiber vs. IAB in 5G x-haul Speaker: Stéphane Téral, Chief Analyst
13:15 – 13:45 Cisco Routed Optical Networking
Speaker: Lorenzo Ghioni, Director of Product Management The Routed Optical Network is a new paradigm for networking that delivers improved operational efficiencies. The architecture has consistently demonstrated a 45% total TCO savings over traditional architectures in over 50 network modeling examples. With a single service layer based upon IP, flexible management tools can leverage telemetry and model-driven programmability to streamline lifecycle operations. This simplified architecture integrates open data models and standard APIs, enabling a provider to focus on automation initiatives for a simpler topology. Network automation substantially increases network efficiency to lower the cost per bit so more services can be deployed to provide better profitability. 13:50 – 14:20 Lumentum Extending OpenROADM to the Network Edge Speaker: Raj Nagarajan, Product Line Manager The OpenROADMMSA has recently released an updated specification that extends ROADM capability from the existing Metro-core application, to cover aggregation networks in the Metro-access where fixed OADM has historically been prevalent. This presentation will discuss supported architectures at the edge and interoperability with Metro-core OpenROADM. The key differences between the Edge ROADM optical specification and the existing OpenROADM specification will be discussed, along with how the YANG models differ. The presentation will discuss the novel methods by which cost can be reduced to enable ROADM at the Edge and will propose potential WSS solutions for these applications. 14:25 – 14:55 Corning High capacity pathways - Fiber innovations for a connected future Speaker: Roshene McCool, Market & Technology Development Manager The need for effective delivery of communication networks has never been greater, as bandwidth demands fromusers grow and the services connected to communication infrastructures increase in diversity. As network connectivity and complexity increases, the ability to deliver increased capacity over more pathways has become the focus of innovation in fiber and cable. This presentation will explore the options available to increase capacity and deliver more pathways, and explore the fiber innovations that will support multi-service networks of the future.
