The document provides an overview of studies on next generation access technology using radio over free-space optic links. It discusses:
1) An experiment setup using a RoFSO system between two buildings 1 km apart to transmit a 2.5 Gbps optical signal.
2) Results showing the RoFSO system was able to achieve error-free transmission and the received power and bit error rate were influenced by atmospheric conditions like temperature, visibility and precipitation.
3) Challenges of FSO systems including their high dependence on weather conditions and susceptibility to atmospheric effects like beam broadening and angle fluctuations due to turbulence.
Free-space optical communication is an optical communication technology that uses light propagating in free space to wirelessly transmit data for telecommunications or computer networking. It is a technology that can be installed license-free worldwide and can be installed in less than a day. A technology that offers a fast, high ROI. There is no Frequency License Required in it.
This presentation is for the people who are interested in mobile release and specifications announced by 3GPP every year, presentation cover all release up to release 12.

Free Space Optics (FSO) communications, also called Free Space Photonics (FSP) or Optical Wireless, refers to the transmission of modulated visible or infrared (IR) beams through the atmosphere to obtain optical communications. Like fiber, Free Space Optics (FSO) uses lasers to transmit data, but instead of enclosing the data stream in a glass fiber, it is transmitted through the air. Free Space Optics (FSO) works on the same basic principle as Infrared television remote controls, wireless keyboards
This presentation provides an brief introduction about Bluetooth Low Energy. This also covers the basic protocol layers of bluetooth low energy. Also discusses about the ble device discovery, service discovery, connection establishment, connection termination, etc.

An alternative to the core/aggregation/access layer network topology has emerged known as leaf-spine. In a leaf-spine architecture, a series of leaf switches form the access layer. These switches are fully meshed to a series of spine switches. One way is to create a Spine and Leaf architecture, also known as a Distributed Core. This architecture has two main components: Spine switches and Leaf switches. Intuition Systems can think of spine switches as the core, but instead of being a large, chassis-based switching platform, the spine is composed of many high-throughput Layer 3 switches with high port density. The mesh ensures that access-layer switches are no more than one hop away from one another, minimizing latency and the likelihood of bottlenecks between access-layer switches. When networking vendors speak of an Ethernet fabric, this is generally the sort of topology they have in mind.
Haven’t we spent the last few decades disaggregating datacenter architecture? And if so, what does disaggregation mean now, is it something different? Strictly speaking, to “disaggregate” means to divide
Technologies for future mobile transport networksITU
This presentation presents several technologies for future mobile transport networks using the seamless convergence of fiber and wireless access networks. We first present a flexible and efficient mobile fronthaul system for ultra-dense small cells using a convergence of fiber and millimeter-wave systems. We then present a simple and low cost optical system for simultaneous transmission of multiple heterogeneous wireless signals, such as multi-RATs, operators, mobile signals and fronthaul/backhaul signals, using subcarrier multiplexing intermediate frequency over fiber system and efficient data mapping and de-mapping algorithms. Finally, we present an efficient solution to provide high-speed communications to high-speed trains using a seamless convergence of wavelength-division multiplexing radio-over-fiber and linearly located linear cell systems.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

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.

25. Summary
Presented characteristics of RF signals transmission using FSO links
under various weather conditions reflecting actual deployment
scenarios.
Measured, characterized and quantified important quality metric
parameters e.g. CNR, ACLR, EVM, BER, optical received power etc
significant for evaluation of RF signal transmission using FSO links.
A properly engineered RoFSO link can be used as a reliable next
generation access technology for providing heterogeneous wireless
services in the absence of severe weather conditions.
Further work on simultaneous transmission of multiple RF signals by
DWDM technology using the RoFSO system are ongoing.
The results are significant in design optimization, evaluation,
prediction and comparison of performance as well as implementation
issues/guidelines of RoFSO systems in operational environment.

Editor's Notes
The spectral properties of a signal are measured by the adjacent channel leakage ratio (ACLR), which is defined as the ratio of the amount of leakage power in an adjacent channel to the total transmitted power in the main channel. The 3GPP specifies one main channel and two adjacent channels. The standard requires the ACLR to be better than 45 dB at 5 MHz offset and 50 dB at 10 MHz offset. As ACLR is a more stringent parameter of W-CDMA signal transmission in our experiment we focus on measuring this parameter.
The EVM is the ratio in percent of the difference between the reference waveform and the measured waveform. EVM metrics are used to measure the modulation quality of the transmitter. The 3GPP standard requires the EVM not to exceed 17.5%
