It’s a new service world – and for network operators
and their technology partners, the business of
broadband communications is changing rapidly.
Customers don’t have to choose services anymore
from the carrier. Today, services come from
anywhere; they could be out on the Internet, in the
Cloud or delivered by anyone who can serve an
unmet need.
TIA 2011 confronts this changing landscape in a
unique and illuminating format – 3 TIA Vision
Roundtable Keynotes focusing on the changing
business models of network operators, network and
technology demands from a billion more devices,
and what the era of applications means to
manufacturers.

Enabling Technology on the Converged Network
As service providers strive to leverage their network assets to deliver a broad array of business, residential and mobile services, the optimization of their transport infrastructure stands to play a key role in ensuring profitability and a superior user experience. The challenge for service providers is to establish scalable backbone infrastructures. Closer integration of IP and optical transport networks offers significant opportunities for reducing transport costs and increasing network efficiency. A converged network backbone leverages optics and together to deliver the lowest cost per bit for reliable transport across the backbone for the breadth of existing and emerging services. Meanwhile, network decision-makers are faced with choices on an array of access technologies that have long-term implications for their networks. Summit programming at TIA 2011 explores the trends in next-generation transport and access platforms and show how these technologies can both enable new services and make use of currently deployed broadband access infrastructure.
