As a TeleGeography reader, it’s likely that you’ve seen the name i3forum before.
This unique consortium is bringing together carriers to take on industry-wide challenges. IoT? PBX Security? NFV? They’ve thought about how all of these topics are impacting the modern carrier.
A Senior Vice President at Tata Communications and i3forum Vice Chair Christian Michaud kindly took the time to give us an inside look at the way i3forum does business and what new challenges are on the horizon.
Will we be attending International Telecoms Week this June? Absolutely.
This annual meeting for the global wholesale industry is one of our favorite places to share our research with colleagues around the globe. ITW is the largest event for the global wholesale telecom industry; it attracts 7,000+ delegates globally to network and learn.
This year is no exception—our team is looking forward to meeting up with our many friends and partners in Atlanta June 23-26.
In fact, we've assembled an all-star roster of telecom experts. Keep scrolling to peruse our full lineup and connect with these telecom titans before the big event.
Google and SubCom are turning to space-division multiplexing within their new Dunant cable. The pair is angling to engineer the fastest fiber-optic cable of it's kind. (We can talk about whether or not new submarine cables are really giving us faster internet another time.)
We're still buzzing from WAN Summit New York. Our largest summit to date, we were joined by an elite ensemble of networking experts who guided us through conversations on security, cloud, hybrid WAN rollouts, NFV, and much more.
If you sadly couldn't make this year's event, chew on these three takeaways. It's just enough food for thought until we hit the road again later this year.
TeleGeography's Kate Reilly recently dug into Middle Eastern telecommunications through her presentation International Network Connectivity in the Middle East.

Even as coherent modem technology continues to innovate, the amount of data that can be carried over today’s networks shows no signs of slowing.
Despite all this modem magic, we can’t ignore the laws of physics. We’re quickly approaching the Shannon Limit–the maximum information-carrying capacity of a submarine cable optical fiber pair.
What new alternatives are on the horizon to side-step this inevitability?
Wow—a lot of submarine cable news this month.
From a deep dive into global communication from the New York Times to the Wall Street Journal's exploration of the Huawei case, there's a lot for any telecom fiend to take in.
We'll keep the fanfare brief. Keep scrolling to read these stories, as well as a Popular Science post about a new internet speed record, Bloomberg's profile on big tech in telecom, and the best SD-WAN conversation you'll hear all week.
