Speaker: John Toomajon with KGP
This KGP seminar will discuss navigating the requirements of BEAD funding, challenges, requirements, misconceptions, conflicting information, and American versus America verbiage.
Speaker: Michael Kletchko with RadiSys
Optimizing and scaling infrastructure to meet skyrocketing demand is a critical challenge. Fiber is the new utility, and upfront investments in fiber or Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) with a clear fiber migration path will yield long-term dividends. This session explores how telcos can leverage open network solutions to transform and optimize their network to achieve scalability at an affordable price, and empower their communities with fast, reliable internet.
Speaker: Andrew Cuellar with ZyXel
With all the focus on multi-gig bandwidth, we tend to overlook the most important aspect of the subscriber experience, Wi-Fi. Wireless technologies continue to evolve to keep up with the increased demand in speed and improve the overall experience. Wi-Fi 7 is here to take us to the next level of connectivity. Join to learn more about the latest Wi-Fi technologies including the benefits, everyday challenges, and practices for higher quality deployments.
Speaker: Isaac Kim with Ciena
The choice of an open, modular, and scalable broadband architecture is crucial to ensure a sustainable and cost-effective infrastructure. We will delve deeper into how broadband fiber-to-the-home/business providers are considering new Passive Optical Network (PON) technology options like (10G) XGS-PON for their last-mile network. Pluggable-based Open Line Terminal (OLT) system that is cost-effective, flexible, and scalable.
Speaker: Larry Johnson with FiberStory
Is your fiber plant aging? Are FTTX, FTTA or DWDM in use? What is your migration plan? With over 45 years of experience in fiber optics, Larry Johnson can help your organization address applications, technologies and challenges.
Speaker: Danielle Pinon with Comtrend
In this session, we will introduce Service Providers to a new Open Access architecture approach (OpenPON). Many Providers aren’t aware that there is an alternative Fiber Broadband deployment option that does not use a chassis-based Access architecture. It is a compelling lower-cost, scalable, and flexible Last Mile solution for Providers.
Speakers: ODOT / WSDOT Panel
Join this panel discussion regarding Utility Permitting in WSDOT right-of-way, and new Dig Once initiative for broadband utilities. This panel of experts will discuss and answer questions on how to prepare for the expected spike in applications from broadband grant recipients to use the rights-of-way, attach to bridges, pole attachments, etc. WSDOT will provide a one-page handout to distribute to attendees.
This is a meeting for the OSP committee members.
Speaker: Ted Bonus with Vitruvi
Join Vitruvi for an informative session to delve into the evolving landscape of network construction management. In an era marked by rapid technological advancement, managing network construction projects comes with many complexities. Learn how businesses in the industry are effectively managing construction projects through the entire construction project lifecycle to get from as-designed to as-built faster.
Speakers: Oregon Broadband Office Panel with Nick Batz Director Oregon Broadband Office, Eric Forsch Federal Program Director NTIA, and Aimee Meacham Director of State Broadband Programs CTC
NTIA and the Oregon Broadband Office will provide updates on the current state of funding, challenges, and future plans for broadband funding. This seminar will include time for questions.
Speaker: Kendal Ingraham with Okanogan PUD / Women In Fiber
New at ITA for 2024! This exciting meet up is for women working in broadband, fiber, outside plant, engineering, etc. The Women in Fiber Committee focuses on identifying, developing, and promoting women in the Fiber Broadband industry as well as technology, telecommunications, construction, and manufacturing.
Speaker: Chick Kennedy with NRTC
NRTC will feature a demonstration of the Broadband Consumer Labels application that CrowdFiber introduced in late 2023. The demo will show how to quickly generate and print out stickers with ISP service data for point-of-sale locations. The first labeling deadline for ISPs with more than 100,000 subscribers is coming in April 2024.
Speaker: Jeff Blanchard with Apposite-Tech
Apposite-Tech will illustrate the setup and simulation of malicious attacks, with a specific focus on malware simulation and distributed denial of service (DDoS) testing. Testing your network before malicious actors do is crucial!
Speaker: Scott Salzer with Biarri Networks
You don’t want to miss this seminar that will highlight how algorithmic design greatly impacts FTTH network designs. You'll learn how it differs from traditional approaches and see why ISP's have seen faster cycle times and lower cost builds due to an efficient and optimized design.
Speaker: Kris Walker with ePlus
Ever growing bandwidth demands and increased reliance on residential networks to conduct business means the networks that Service Providers build and maintain today are more complicated and higher stakes than ever. Building redundancy into the network has become easier, and more cost effective. This talk discusses the legacy model and some innovative new ways to build a resilient Service Provider network.
Speaker: Matt Wentz with WBE Technologies
This seminar provides a thorough exploration of the intricate process involved in establishing Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) networks, covering each step from inception to operationalization. This includes identifying suitable areas, determining underground or aerial construction, design, permitting, material procurement, installation, monitoring, and troubleshooting.
Speaker: Blake Lawrence with Windwave Communications
This seminar will present how to approach and execute large scale fiber construction projects.
Speaker: Rick Knea with Adtran / Ocilloquartz
Are you in sync? Today's networks stand at a crossroads. The rapid migration to packet-based technologies has created a critical flaw; one that could limit application performance and jeopardize your business. This flaw is the need for highly accurate timing information and assurance. This seminar will tackle timing and synchronization and review Oscilloquartz 5405-S dual GNSS/LEO grandmaster clock.
