Enable Broadband Access for All with Super-PON
Wednesday, August 21 at 2:00 p.m. EDT
IEEE 802.3 is working to help the fiber-optic communication community to reduce cost and complexity in optical distribution networks with the P802.3cs 'Super-PON' standard project, that has gained early industry support (see http://www.ieee802.org/3/cs/index.html). Building upon the operational experience of current passive optical network (PON) technologies, the project is aimed at defining an evolved access solution supporting longer distances between the central office and the customer and increasing the number of subscribers per fiber strand through wavelength division multiplexing. This enables to greatly reduce the number of central offices and the amount of fiber optic required to support PON services in access networks. In turn, this translates in cheaper and faster ways to build new optical infrastructure, a significant advantage for operators and countries currently active in expanding access networks in order to make broadband access achievable and affordable for all.
This webinar will describe the Super-PON technology and how it can help building optical infrastructures for ubiquitous broadband access, and will summarize the on-going industry efforts to make it widely available.
Presenter: Claudio DeSanti, IEEE P802.3cs Chair, Google
Claudio DeSanti is a senior architect at Google Fiber since 2017. From 2000 to 2017 he worked in Cisco Systems up to the Fellow level. He is highly recognized in standards bodies and industry associations, such as IEEE 802, INCITS T11, and IETF. He is author of several patents and recipient of four INCITS technical awards. He is the Chairman of the IEEE P802.3cs 'Super-PON' Task Force.
Cinco maneras de desplegar la fibra más rápido y reducir los costes antes de la llegada de las 5G
Miercoles 28 de agosto at 2:00 p.m. EDT
La fibra se está haciendo más profunda en todas partes. Es un elemento facilitador clave para las próximas tecnologías 5G que necesitarán una base muy sólida. La alta densidad de despliegues de fibra en el futuro implica una gran cantidad de trabajos de campo subcontratados. El reto que supone la externalización es la reducción de la visibilidad y del control sobre la infraestructura de la red. ¿Cómo se mantendrá al tanto de todo en una época en la que necesita información valiosa para actuar rápidamente?
Y esto es solo la punta del iceberg. La elevada rotación de la mano de obra está afectando a los expertos en el terreno. ¿Cómo mantener a los técnicos de primera línea actualizados sobre las recomendaciones necesarias a la hora de realizar pruebas en la fibra óptica?
Descubra un nuevo enfoque de las pruebas que permitirá a los técnicos ir más allá al mismo tiempo que garantizan una base de fibra más fiable, y todo eso sin hacer que el banco quiebre, sino todo lo contrario, invirtiendo de forma inteligente en lo que equivale a un menor coste total de la propiedad.
En este seminario web, aprenderá a:
• Acelerar las instalaciones sin comprometer la calidad ni incurrir en costes adicionales
• Mejorar las habilidades de los técnicos de primera línea y frenar la curva de aprendizaje
• Acelerar el retorno de la inversión a través de métodos de procedimientos más sencillos
• Obtenga una visibilidad real de la base de fibra de la red

Day 2 Operational Considerations & Best Practices
Tuesday, September 17 at 2:00 p.m. EDT
During the business case phase for an FTTH investment, the focus is typically the cost of the infrastructure (i.e. the CAPEX investment) needed to pass homes. The expenses associated with operating the network itself are often overlooked and/or underestimated. Considering the tradeoffs between CAPEX and OPEX during the upfront planning can yield a better overall result. This webinar will highlight the importance of understanding key operational considerations and their impact on costs, maintenance efforts, reliability, and customer experience.

Fiber to the MDU, the Time is Now!
Tuesday, September 10 at 2:00 p.m. EDT
Fiber should be the first choice for building communications wiring moving forward, especially in new construction. This webinar will give compelling reasons why fiber is the best choice. We’ll review technology trends and some demographic information, and then discuss why fiber is now the highest capacity, least expensive, simplest, easiest to install and least intrusive communications wiring choice. We’ll also cover different choices for architectures, cabling and other physical plant components and how to put them together to form a network in the building to the end customer.
Presented by:
Mark Boxer, Applications Engineer Manager, OFS Optics
Larry Johnson, President/CEO, Fiber Story
