Panel I: Evolution to Higher Speed
Moderator: David A. Brown, OIF Market Awareness and Education Committee Co-Chair; Marketing Director, Alcatel-Lucent, USA
The unabated demand for video and mobile broadband services combined with equally rising user expectations for on-demand, high-quality services propelled the evolution to 100G transport speeds. But this evolution stretched the technical tool set. Going beyond 100G will require new levels of innovation and collaboration—all at a compressed pace versus higher speed evolutions of the past. While everyone agrees that transport speeds beyond 100G will be required, the following questions remain:
- What are the market drivers?What will be the new killer applications—the next YouTube, the next level of social networking, enterprise service, or the next application for HD or 3-D video?
- How will service providers and networks adapt in terms of network architectures, flexibility, intelligence, and operational models?
- How far beyond 100G must we go—400G, 1T, more…? And by when?
- What new business challenges lay ahead, in terms of capitalization and new business case approaches, collaboration, and business models?
- And finally, who will be the key players to get us there and how—telecom service providers, equipment and component vendors, SDOs, content providers, government agencies, etc…?
