AFL, EXFO, US Signal and VIAVI to participate in Lightwave+BTR’s high-speed networking event

Nov. 6, 2024
The virtual event will provide new educational opportunities to learn about new broadband and optical innovations impacting the high-speed networking sector.

As Lightwave+BTR brings back the high-speed networking event this fall, we will feature a diverse set of speakers from the vendor and service provider community that are developing new innovations and services. 

Join us for an exclusive multi-day online learning event for broadband and optical communications professionals specializing in high-speed networking solutions.

This event, which will be held on November 12-14, will feature thought leadership, engagement, networking, brand awareness, and quality lead generation from within the optical communications and broadband sectors.

“Whether it’s AI or online video applications like Facetime, it’s clear that the advent of bandwidth-hungry consumer and business applications will require high-speed networks that can accommodate fluctuating needs,” said Sean Buckley, Editor in Chief of Lightwave+BTR. “Lightwave+BTR’s virtual high-speed networking event, which will feature a series of roundtable discussions, will provide industry broadband and optical professionals with a bird’s eye view on the latest trends affecting these evolving industry segments.” 

This virtual facilitates private or group networking with attendees.

Join Sean Buckley, Editor-In-Chief of Lightwave+BTR, for a special series of Executive Roundtable Discussions that will focus on a range of subjects in the broadband and optical industry:

AI’s Optical Connection: During this discussion, we’ll consider how AI's growth influences the development and ongoing evolution of the optical industry. This panel features two key industry leaders:

 

Exascale Connectivity: Building the Neural Networks of AI Infrastructure: Featuring Manja Thessin, AFL's Enterprise Market Manager, this panel explores the cutting-edge technologies driving AI-optimized data centers, focusing on Data Center Interconnect (DCI) and fiber optic innovations. 

Revolutionizing Optical Transport Networks: The Impact of Coherent Optics: Led by Andrea Guglierame, Business Development Manager at EXFO, this webinar will explore how the integration of coherent optics into carrier networks offers a game-changing opportunity to enhance network capacity and efficiency without compromising performance. 

What's Next with 800G?: Featuring Michael Bangert, Product Manager at Viavi, this webinar will address how the demand for faster transmission solutions is escalating. This is leading to the development of 800G and 2x400G transceiver technologies to overcome existing bottlenecks, with forecasts of 1.6 Tbps on the horizon. 

Come to an interactive event to learn how new broadband and optical innovations are shaping service providers' and vendors' approaches to high-speed networking.
