Press Release
On the 15 March, 2018 from 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM GMT, Total Telecom editor Chris Kelly will host a webinar on Validating the SD-Access Promise: Operator Use Cases.
Service providers are desperately trying to stay relevant as over the top (OTT) content providers vie for subscriber mindshare. At the same time, due to competitive price pressures service providers need to reduce the cost of deploying and operating the new technologies they require to support subscriber demand for bandwidth.
Next generation software-defined access (SD-Access) networks, built on the highly disruptive Central Office Re-architected as a Datacenter (CORD) reference architectures, offer service providers the freedom to choose best-of-breed elements, control the introduction and rollout of new customer applications and broadband technologies, all while eliminating high overhead costs and elevating subscriber experience.
2018 will be a watershed year for commercial validation of SD-Access networks as leading network operators begin commercializing services using carrier hardened versions of these open, disaggregated and highly-scalable CORD-based reference systems.
The webinar will cover:
- The building blocks of SD-Access Networks (tools, technologies and standards)
- Status of VOLTHA / OSAM-HA and Key Open Source Initiatives
- Virtualized Network Gateway: Delivering Higher Scale at Lower Costs
- Case Study in Power Savings with NG-PON2 Wavelength Mobility
- Big Data, AI and Machine Learning to Improve Subscriber Experience
- Applying SD-Access to Deliver Virtualized Business Services
