How do you help hundreds of network managers, IT professionals, and service providers face some of their biggest technological challenges?
When you look to the night sky, do you think of the potential that satellites have to bring connectivity to geographies underserved by submarine cables? No?
Well maybe you will after reading one our recommended reads from PTC. This post unpacks the distribution of internet access across the world's population. There are still plenty of places that submarine cables don't reach, which makes satellites an appealing option for filling the void.
The majority of new submarine capacity upgrades and cable deployments are designed to address the voracious growth in data flowing between large data centers via submerged information superhighways.
There is simply no networking technology that comes close to optical networks in terms of scalability, reliability, and economies of scale. This means, that as an industry, we must continue to rapidly innovate upon submarine optical networking technology today, and well into the future.
This July Subsea EMEA returns to Marseille for its third year, bringing together leaders from more than 150 companies.
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.
