The document emphasizes maximizing fiber use with WDM, enabling 5G wireless densification with convergence, speeding up and de-skilling network rollout with
Ribbon Fibre Technologies
1. Sumitomo Electric Industries presented on ribbon fiber technologies and how they can save time and space during fiber optic cable installation and maintenance. Ribbon fibers allow for quicker splicing since multiple fibers can be spliced at once and they take up less space in conduits than loose tube cables.
2. Installing high fiber count ribbon cables requires less conduit space and fewer installation passes compared to overlaying multiple loose tube cables. This saves on installation costs and construction challenges.
3. Sumitomo's pliable Freeform ribbon fibers are thinner than conventional ribbons, allowing for higher fiber density cables that maximize use of existing conduit infrastructure. The ribbons are also compatible with loose tube cables and provide quick splicing and recovery.
Spectrum Innovation
1) Regulators are starting to acknowledge that more innovative approaches to spectrum access are needed as exclusive use by mobile network operators limits utilization and investment.
2) Countries are experimenting with different spectrum sharing models between 3.4-3.8GHz to enable new local 5G networks for industrial and business use.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !
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.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
