5G Transport & Networking Strategies
2020-11-03 - 2020-11-05 | Virtual Event, Virtual Event
With the completion of 3GPP Release 16 this summer, 5G moves into an exciting new phase of advanced use cases and rich possibilities for consumers and, increasingly, enterprises. To meet these demands, however, operators must invest in the network connectivity that will underpin 5G, for both today’s and tomorrow’s services. For the last three years, 5G Transport & Networking Strategies has focused on this critical topic and has been one of Light Reading’s fastest growing and most engaging live events. This year, the event moves to a virtual format, but it retains the same commitment to high-quality and tightly focused content that Light Reading uniquely delivers.
Don’t miss the Transport Architecture Evolution for 5G Phase 2 Services session featuring Acacia’s own Tom Williams, VP of Marketing at 1:20 pm – 2:00 pm ET on Thursday, November 5, 2020.

Next Gen Optical – 400G, 800G, and Beyond
Vendors have been gearing up for 400G for several years. Now that the equipment is starting to become available, how will hyperscale providers, telcos and cable operators trial and deploy 400G this year, and what are their plans for 800G? The move to 400G requires new switches, Ethernet ports, optics and testing before it hits the mainstream. There are also different approaches for 400G, including dual carrier, single carrier and 400 Gigabit Ethernet. What approach will find the most traction this year and into 2021?
