The document summarizes an upcoming conference on fiber optic technology called FTTx Summit Europe. The conference will be held from April 11-14, 2011 in London and will bring together operators, regulators, and communities to discuss:
1) Justifying the business case for deploying fiber networks and optimizing roll-out of next generation access (NGA) technologies while complying with regulatory frameworks.
2) Learning from case studies of fiber deployments by operators like Swisscom, Openreach, TeliaSonera, and OTE about building the business case.
3) Hearing from speakers like France Telecom on optimizing deployment of Gigabit PON (G-PON
Telecommunications standards (wire and wireless) are the underlying "laws" that govern the emerging Global Information Highway and the existing telephone system. Telecommunications networks in every country in the world utilize formal telecommunications standards to physically interwork. Without public agreements and the telecommunications standards that codify such agreements, wide-area voice and data communications would not be possible.
Communications Standards Review (CSR) reports on formal telecommunications standards work-in-progress (US and International) covering multimedia and wire line access technology standards.
It is often difficult to tell whether a standards committee is a formal one. In the US, formal standards committees are accredited by American National Standards Institute (ANSI). The accreditation process is complex but offers some specific values to potential users and implementers of standards:
⦁ Standards work is coordinated to avoid two different standards committees creating different standards for the same functions.
⦁ Standards committees must maintain their standards so long as there is a minimal level of use.
⦁ The standards process is designed to prevent domination by any group and to allow all reasonable technical input to be heard.
⦁ Intellectual Property Rights (IPR, i.e., patent or pending patents) are identified (but not resolved) during the standards creating process.
Today there are some non-accredited standards groups (e.g., ATM Forum and Frame Relay Forum) that develop their work and then introduce it into formal standards groups. This can be a good balance. And very rarely, as in the case of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), informal standards work is so desirable that it becomes acknowledged as formal by force of use. However, the IETF now has ties to formal standards organizations. But the rest of the non-accredited standards groups are often attempting to drape a manufacturer's proprietary approach in finer garb. The proprietary approach may be desirable (e.g., Microsoft MAPI), but it cannot meet the four values of formal standards work outlined above.
At CSR, the term "Telecommunications Standard Body" refers to formal authorized telecommunications standardization bodies.
The document discusses the changing telecommunications industry from 2005 to 2010. It notes that:
1) Revenue growth has fallen below 2 digits in most mature markets as fixed and mobile revenue is no longer growing significantly.
2) Emerging markets and BRIC countries are now sustaining the sector's annual growth of around 2%.
3) While overall communications have increased due to growth in internet services, the share of traditional telecom services is unchanged. Revenue does not track increases in network traffic as more traffic is generated through over-the-top services.

Mobile WiMAX Analyst Briefing;October 30th 2008Luke Thomas
The document discusses mobile WiMAX technology and its potential adoption in Europe. It provides an overview of the mobile WiMAX roadmap and certification process. It also analyzes spectrum auctions in Europe and notes that delays in auctions mean the claimed lead time over 3G LTE may be reduced or eliminated in some markets. Challenges for mobile WiMAX adoption include high spectrum costs, lack of early support for mobile VoIP, and initial devices being separate from cellular and high-priced.
4G LTE over satellite is arriving to the market at a faster pace than 2G and 3G did when they emerged. 4G carries the promise of a true mobile broadband experience with high volumes, higher speeds and enhanced efficiency, blurring the lines between cellular and wifi. Mobile operators will nevertheless wonder if 4G can be even more successful than its predecessors, and what value it really brings to the subscriber. They will also want to know if there are specifi c characteristics required to run the service over satellite, and if it is possible to optimize the traffi c just like in 2G and 3G to gain bandwidth and decrease the OPEX. Lastly, can 4G deployments be future proof in light of the upcoming 5G standards?
South Korea has seen rapid deployment of 3G and beyond 3G technologies. SK Telecom and KTF have rolled out 3G networks, though WCDMA saw limited initial adoption due to device and network issues.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their MainframePrecisely
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.
