8 AM WEDNESDAY40 / 100G Field Testing and Demystifying 100G Garden Court 1JDSU, Tim Yount, Market Dev. Manager, Fiber Network TestingThe growing need for bandwidth capacity has fueled the development of the 100G based network. In addition, the globalshift toward the use of OTN client interfaces makes the adoption of stringent test procedures an important consideration.We discuss recent developments in high-speed networking, specifically with respect to core backbone technologies. Weaddress the ongoing 100G wave, how 40G technology is being used as an interim step toward a higher capacity core, andhow test solutions are keeping pace both for provisioning and maintaining these critical networks. We provide a basicoverview of 100Gig technologies, including a guide to understand the differences between client-side and line-side 100Gdeployments. We discuss fiber infrastructure testing considerations on both sides, including the implications of coherentdetection & dual polarization transmission.

LTE Interference on Broadband Cable TV Services Garden Court 2EFFIGIS, Daniel Babeux, VP Business Development, BroadbandSponsored by Telonix CommunicationsIndustry Canada (I.C.) has released a Standard Radio System Plan (SRSP), which outlines the technical requirements forthe operation of Mobile Broadband Services (MBS) in the bands 698-756 MHz and 777-787 MHz I.C., auctioned the 700MHz MBS in January 2014. I.C. expects that most cable operators will eventually transition to all-digital systems. Theupcoming deployment of LTE cellular technology in the 700 MHz band has increased awareness of potential signal ingressand egress impairments between cellular and broadband cable operators. LTE operators will be pressuring cable operatorsto minimize leakage in the LTE band. We review the design of a comprehensive shielding integrity monitoring solution thataddresses both concerns of Aeronautical/LTE band cable leakage impairments. We identify a proposed I.C. frequencyallocation plan for MBS services and potential technical impacts on broadband cable services. We present a shieldingintegrity monitoring strategy based on best engineering practices and show the benefits of maintaining proper shieldingintegrity both on upstream and downstream paths.

The Clear Choice for Voice: The Cloud Outsource Model for Carriers WhitehornALIANZA, Brian Beutler, CEO, President and Co-FounderCloud voice platforms transform the way service providers deploy and manage their VoIP services with a technology solutioneasier to manage, less expensive, and more scalable than traditional infrastructure approaches. This session will focus onthe pros and cons to “cloud-sourcing” voice and financial and strategic benefits to outsourcing voice to the cloud. We covercloud voice platform architectures compared to VoIP networks, carrier requirements for connectivity and rate centercoverage and implementing management tools and back-office integration.

Fiber in Access Networks –The Evolution of FTTx Technologies Garden Court 1JDSU, Tim Yount, Market Dev. Manager, Fiber Network TestingThis session looks at all the flavours of FTTx (including the latest in RFOG), and addresses Next Generation - PassiveOptical Networks (NG-PON). We’ll talk about testing considerations to ensure reliable, low maintenance networks. Thelatest impacts of wireless services on the access network, including the race to expand tower deployments and DistributedAntenna Systems (DAS), and the fiber backhaul required to support these services is also discussed.

Powering Indoor DAS and Small Cell Networks Garden Court 2ALPHA TECHNOLOGIES, Kevin Borders, Director, Product Marketing One of the bigger hurdles in deploying Indoor Distributed Antenna System, (IDAS) networks is how to power the distributedremote nodes. Providers wrestle with where to locate the power system, whether battery backup is required, andimplications of the power system size and shape on aesthetics of the venue. Some service providers avoid placing powersystems and batteries at the node by powering them over copper cable with current supplied by the host power system.We describe how this line powering technique works, how to engineer a site using this approach, and what the pros andcons of this method are. We address requirements for the copper cables connecting the nodes to the host, with emphasison ensuring compliance with the Canadian Electrical Code and CSA.

In Building Antenna Systems – Tools & Tips WhitehornGAP WIRELESS, Marc Landry, Senior Account ManagerOur dependency on mobile devices grows larger every day. Along with this dependency comes the requirement forubiquitous wireless coverage for both voice and data services in the workplace. In Building Distributed Antenna Systemsplay a pivotal role in ensuring that wireless services are delivered where needed the most. This session will provide aninside look at testing and mapping your current in building coverage, along with design considerations, differences betweenactive and passive solutions and final implementation options.

10 AM WEDNESDAYDistributed CMTS in Next Evolution of HFC Networks Garden Court 1POWER & TEL, Pierre Blais, Application EngineerOperators are evaluating their options when it comes to network upgrade to offer high-speed Internet services, VOD andSDV using IP for delivery to the end users. For those looking for a cost effective upgrade of their existing network and want to use much of the existing infrastructure,this evolutionary path leads to deep fiber deployment with fiber nodes serving between 100 and 250 subscribers. Various benefits in moving the CMTS from the head end to deploy it in the field will be reviewed. As operators move todistributed CMTS, benefits will become clear and may ultimately make the future move to fiber-to-the home unnecessary.

Purpose-designed for fiber optic cables of all sizes. Top andbase components are made from tin-plated, hardened brass.Shaped bottom plate permits easy insertion under any corru-gated or flat cable shields. Teeth on the top plate work withthe blossoms on the bottom plate to provide low resistanceand high pull-out values. New low-profile design is ideal for fiber optic closures where space for bonding and ground-ing is limited. Eliminates the hole-punch work method.

Shield Bond Connectors For Fiber Optic Cables

• Bottom plate radius from 1⁄4" (.250) tofull-size cables

• Full shield contact is provided with a single 1" (25mm) relief slit

• Bonding connection can be made withwire, braid or ground lead with terminal

• Ideal for buried service wire, small countcables and shielded MICRO-duct

Options:• Long or short stud—one or two securingnuts available with long stud

• Ground lead can be packaged with R88connector in any length or configuration

• Coined thin blade version • PC: Protective dielectric coating thateliminates loose-piece protectors

Building & Operating your Private Area Network with “Wireless Fiber” WhitehornALLIANCE CORP., Pat Redmond, Director Broadband SalesDoes your organisation have more than one location within the same industrial park or close by? There is wirelesstechnology that can easily connect your buildings with broadband speeds. With a mast on top of each building, an antennaand a special outdoor broadband wireless router, you can build and operate your own wireless network for a fraction of thecost of a leased line yet with much higher network speeds. Some of these systems are even referred to as “wireless fiber”.This can work for colleges, hospitals, manufacturers or municipalities. We introduce the concept of “wireless fiber” solutionsand installation. Some case studies are reviewed and specific hardware solutions introduced.

Fiber into the SFU and MDU: An Approach to Pre-Termination Garden Court 1SASKTEL, Dan Sullivan, Technical Assistant, Customer ServicesInfrastructure Development and SupportTraditional fiber builds involve fusion splicing and field termination of cabling. SaskTel attempts to forgo this need as muchas possible when installing new fiber technologies to provide services to SFUs and MDUs. To this end, we have standardizedon the use of pre-terminated materials whenever practical. Presently, there is a plethora of vendor-based solutions available.There is no manual as how all the technologies come together among the different groups involved in the design anddeployment processes to address the real world situations encountered during the service installation. This presentationwill study what steps can be taken to ensure these technologies all link together into an efficient and workable solutionthat will provide a positive experience for the customer.

Reimagining Network Testing Garden Court 2FLUKE NETWORKS-DANAHER, David Coffin, Chief Technical OfficerWe need to reimagine how network testing is performed. Whether certifying a copper or fiber cable installation, verifyingWiFi connectivity, testing end-to-end network performance (jitter, latency, loss & throughput) or monitoring applicationresponse time, testing networks is obsolete at worst and insufficient at best. Smartphones are proliferating and cloud-based services are ever-present; these technologies should be used to make network testing easier, more useful, readilyavailable and affordable. Many venerable and flourishing processes and industries have been totally reimagined in thisonline and mobile age. It is happening in network test & measurement too. This session presents how smartphones, newcloud-based services, and an Internet of Things including probes and sensors will completely change how engineers andtechnicians, who are responsible for installing and maintaining networks, will do so tomorrow.

2 PM WEDNESDAYSCADA – Why Move From Narrowband to Broadband Garden Court 1REDLINE COMMUNICATIONS, Brent Ness, Sales Manager, sponsored by Alliance Corp.Are you concerned about the security of your SCADA network? Physically can you see who enters your premises? Areyou sure your network is safe from hackers? Stuxnet is a computer worm that was designed to target Siemens SCADAsystems. New broadband wireless technology has been designed to not only provide a highly secure network but alsoprovide very high speeds. Speeds are often hundreds of times faster than older narrowband systems that often run at only9.6 kbps. What can you do with the extra bandwidth? Instead of just doing command and control you can support manymore applications such as corporate network connectivity, VoIP and even video surveillance of the premises. Thispresentation will provide an introduction to broadband wireless SCADA solutions and review a case study example.


High speed is happening, so better be ready for it. Combined with the FTB-88100NGE, the new compact FTB-2 Pro platform delivers the most powerful 10M to 100G testing solution available today. With so much power, you can finally reach new heights.

Why Batteries Fail - Backup Battery System Testing & Maintenance Garden Court 2MEGGER, Ed Rousselot, Datacom Technical SalesThe two main battery chemistries used today are lead-acid and nickel-cadmium. Future chemistries include lithium, prevalentin portable battery systems, but not stationary systems. With refinements over the decades, it has become a criticallyimportant back-up power source. Refinements include improved alloys, grid designs, jar and cover materials and improvedjar-to-cover and post seals. Arguably, the most revolutionary development was the valve-regulated development. Many similar improvements in nickel-cadmium chemistry have been developed over the years. We discover best practices on testing battery life, what can bedone to improve battery life and how to track battery health. Is your equipment adequately backed up?

Effects of LTE / 4G Leakage on HFC Systems WhitehornTRISPEC COMMUNICATIONS, Nigel Smith, Director, Technology DevelopmentThis presentation will cover the basics of dual band leakage detection for monitoring leakage within the aeronautical bandand the LTE band in a complete digital system. The benefits of switching between bands, utilizing locally injected carriershaving a dual purpose, as a tag signal, and, a leakage carrier will be covered. In addition, the importance of documentingand preserving the data will be covered. The system components will be discussed including the head-end injection device, to modulate the tag frequency on ananalog (cw) carrier in the Aeronautical Band or, a digital tag, in the Aeronautical and LTE Bands, simultaneously. Informationwill be shared on how to effectively troubleshoot and how the new digital leakage devices differ in operation, with theconventional aeronautical leakage equipment. A system demonstration via video will also be included, if time allows.

10 AM THURSDAY CONTINUEDImplementing Second Screen Services using Adaptive Bitrate WhitehornStreaming TechniquesINCOSPEC COMMUNICATIONS, Louis Sebastiani, Director of Projects and ProductsThe increase of available Internet bandwidth at affordable cost has allowed new video delivery business models to emerge thatcompete with content providers over unmanaged networks. Having little network capital costs provides a distinct advantage forthe new competitors. New entrants can offer services at lower costs competing on the same networks that the traditional serviceproviders have built and paid for. This session centers around how to use IPTV technology to provide delivery to other devices,such as tablets and smart phones, etc. We address the difference between managed and unmanaged networks. Also coveredis the transport layer, what MPEG video is and touches on differences between Mpeg2 and Mpeg4. We discuss protocols fordelivering OTT content and transcoding a service into multiple profiles to support the adaptive bit rate streaming techniques.

11 AM THURSDAY


RFC-6349 – New Standard for Troubleshooting Today’s Networks Garden Court 1JDSU, Tahmina Hoque, Field Applications EngineerThis session covers new techniques to support provisioning and troubleshooting a network beyond layers 2 & 3. RFC-6349 defines high-speed TCP testing and application of this standard, which is now vital since traditionaltroubleshooting methods often fall short in modern networks. In cases where actual TCP throughput does not equal theideal, RFC 6349 also provides practical guidelines for tuning the network and/or end hosts. We review a specificimplementation of RFC-6349, plus how and when to use it in your network.

Triple Play Services Deployment Over FTTH, MDU & VDSL2: Garden Court 2Work Smarter not Harder!EXFO, François Marcotte & Gwenn Amice, Senior Application EngineersIn a competitive environment where customers need more for less, the access arena becomes a racetrack where providers aretrying to reduce their Operation expenses while deploying more services with more bandwidth. This presentation will proposedifferent testing philosophies that would reduce the cost of deployment while increasing service quality. It sounds intriguingdoesn’t it? There are tasks done in the field that are no longer needed and some we could implement to ease installation andtroubleshooting.
