IPTV Web Summit
Thursday, November 30, 2006
10:00 am PDT/1:00 pm EDT
IPTV is one of the areas in which IP technology is changing the broadcasting landscape in 2006. Broadband has evolved to the point where IPTV is now viable, and is set to become a key driver in the telco's Triple Play value proposition. However, IPTV is so much more than simply matching what cable TV has been providing for so many years. IPTV delivers a far richer and interactive viewing experience that goes beyond passive television watching.
Service providers are looking to IPTV to retain their subscribers, generate new revenues, and strengthen their bundle. For IPTV to become a competitive differentiator for carriers, a number pieces need to be in place, not only to provide the service, but to seamlessly integrate it with voice and data offerings. TMC's IPTV Web Summit presents a critical look at the ecosystem that supports IPTV and how these vendors provide the tools that enable carriers to re-think what television is all about.

Network 2015-2025: A Vision of the Future
Thursday, September 21, 2006
10:00 am PDT/1:00 pm EDT
The role of the telecommunications service provider is changing fundamentally as services become king. In the future, the provider who offers the best and most diverse set of voice, data and entertainment services is sure to be the winner. So what will the network that can deliver the best and most diverse set of services look like and what role will you play in the new world of bundled services?
To find out, join Occam founder and Chief Technology Officer, Mark Rumer, as he discusses a variety of topics that will have a significant impact on tomorrow's network and your ability to compete effectively in this new telecommunications world. Topics such as:
- How will I compete through the transition of my current “voice only” TDM networks to the new IP broadband networks of the future - networks where “voice” service will be highly customizable?
- What are the real applications driving the need for massive amounts of bandwidth?
- How will the blurring of the line between devices such as handsets, mobile phones, TVs, PCs and iPods affect my business?
- What are the key technology building blocks that I need to understand and train my staff to deploy?
- How will I win?
Find out how can make the transition to tomorrow's network. Join Occam to see the future and catch the next wave.

Maximizing Your T1-Fed Remote Investments
Thursday, August 17, 2006
10:00 am PDT/1:00 pm EDT
As carriers continue to push Ethernet- and IP-based traffic further into the local loop, service providers need solutions to address rural MDU/MTU and RT locations. The deeper in the access network that Ethernet electronics are deployed, the smaller the number of ports being served becomes. Service providers need tools that will enable them to continue their move to a converged IP/Ethernet infrastructure, regardless of the size of the uplink facility or the node. Rather than abandon these low density locations, service providers need solutions that will enable them to continue this major technology transition.
While legacy T1 network interconnection is still a common and viable option for many remote locations, it poses an interesting dilemma for service providers: How can you meet the service demands for POTS and ADSL2Plus using current T1-based facilities while you prepare for network improvements such as fiber? Additionally, how do you cost-justify new loop electronics at locations already served by legacy DLCs such as SLC96, SLC5, AFC UMCs, etc.?
Join Occam August 17, 2006 to hear Juan Vela, Director of Strategic Products and Markets, and Dov Zimring, Director of Strategic Technology and Solutions, discuss a variety of solutions to address these challenges. Here are a few of the topics that Juan and Dov will address:
- T1-fed remote terminals/MDUs/MTUs
- A migration path from a T1 to a fiber feeder
- Remote terminal/cabinet augmentations: delivering POTS+HSI to remote locations
- T1s: Bonding facilities (MLPPP) for IP services
