Transport network strategies at Telekom Austria Group- January 2014Wi-Fi 360
We would like to invite you to an exclusive webinar entitled 'Towards a Converged Network: Transport Network Strategies at Telekom Austria. This will present key new research findings from Maravedis-Rethink, and will feature our guest speaker, Alexander Schneider. Mr Schneider is head of transport network development at Telekom Austria Group, a frontrunner in European operators' move towards fixed/mobile convergence and all-IP networks.
Mr Schneider will discuss key elements of Telekom Austria's strategy for deploying a twenty-first century network which harnesses some of the most important new technologies in fixed and mobile telecoms. These include small cells, software defined networking and the migration to all-IP infrastructure. In particular, the presentation will focus on the strategies and challenges in backhaul and IP migration.
The webinar will offer a unique opportunity to gain details and insights into issues which are now facing many operators, and their suppliers, round the world, in the face of mounting data demands.
Mr Schneider's presentation will be complemented by highlights from Maravedis-Rethink's most recent research into the 4G RAN and backhaul deployment plans of the world's leading mobile providers. Maravedis-Rethink tracks the top 100 4G operators and their business strategies, and has a per-carrier analysis of small cell and Cloud-RAN deployment plans, among other topics. Research Director Caroline Gabriel will share exclusive data in areas including small cell backhaul and SON (self-optimizing networks).
These slides address the concerns that the Telecom industry has over IMS, the spread of OTTs, the importance of interoperability, and the search for the Telecom network standards of the future. It answers such questions as, "Do we need to simplify IMS?", "Do we need standards?", "Why is IMS so complicated?", "What do we mean by a 'seamless experience'?", and many more.
Despite the increasing roll-out of broadband terrestrial services like DSL, a
significant amount of households worldwide are deprived from fast broadband
access services. Bridging this digital divide is high on the agenda of decision
makers because broadband penetration has high economic impact on a
country. The service cannot be limited to cities. This requirement is translated
into 100% service obligations for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) covering
the whole territory of a country or region. Running these services in an
economically viable way is a major challenge.
Core Network Optimization: The Control Plane, Data Plane & BeyondRadisys Corporation
This presentation takes you through the challenges network operators are facing as they bring in more and more bandwidth-intensive applications to their network. There are ways to optimize the network from the RAN to the Core -- and improve QoS.
Radisys hosted this webinar on July 9, 2014: VoLTE in Asia Pacific - from Delay to Deploy. Ray Adensamer reviews VoLTE activity in the APAC region Ray discusses the industry hesitancy around VoLTE and walk throught a business case example.
To connect the under or unconnected, Cambium Networks have released the new outdoor wireless broadband for many applications, from data backhaul to wireless video surveillance.
Service providers are starting deployment of VoLTE and adding RCS as part of the Joyn initiative. As service providers are looking for new sources of revenue and ways to compete with OTT service providers they are starting to provide RCS based UC services to enterprises and SMBs.
The presentation reviews VoLTE and RCS technology and market, drivers for service providers to offer such services to enterprises and RADVISION's offering for building such services with emphasis on clients for mobile, tablet and desktop.
More than a decade ago, Cisco introduced wireless solutions that addressed challenges associated with address mobility, seamless authentication and comprehensive backend accounting.
In the last few years, the industry has transformed to offer an immense range of Smart Devices. This unprecedented growth in mobile traffic demands a change to scale to the new reality of any–to-any connectivity. This is a technical deep dive presentation on BNG Deployments and Mobile Offload techniques

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Let me start by giving you quick snapshot of my company, purely for context. Front-row seat for telecom’s white-knuckle roller-coaster ride Founded amid late-90s boom, by the start of the Internet revolution and the promises of the bandwidth demand it would bring, We grew quickly through acquisitions, which as you all know, brings along it’s own challenges These acquisitions, however, gave us reach and capacity that was ahead of its time, I’ll obviously get into the time of restructuring and emergence in more detail, but at a high level, the debt that accompanied the construction of this asset was too much to bear as demand did not meet expectations But, the good news with restructuring is that the majority of your debt goes away, and in our case, I fought very hard to keep this asset intact…
Let me first ground you in who we are and what our capabilities are.. Customer Satisfaction scores show 98 percent are “satisfied,” and three quarters are “very satisfied” These same surveys show that our people continue to be a major reason customers continue to buy from us. Traditionally, many thought of Global Crossing as a voice company, due to the North American acquisitions. Or as a pure wholesale provider because of our origin as a sub-sea cable and network provider. But the vision for this company has always been to provide IP services to global enterprises. To facilitate this, we built a core IP network with global reach – one that will likely never be duplicated in our lifetime. These assets are unique and give real differential advantage. We have maintained our core worldwide network assets through restructuring and transformation to allow us to maintain our vision and differentiation in the marketplace. These assets are very much intact today and we continue to build partnerships to further our reach to further realize our vision. These assets position us uniquely to service the requirements of businesses today; the advent of convergence in finally upon us and we are prepared…
