Duration: 2 Days
Who Should Attend
Voice, data and IP network professionals, designers and planners, enterprise network forecasters, product planners, market forecasters, investors and CIOs. This seminar presents the state and forecast of new technologies and services.
What You Will Learn
Understand how to evaluate new technologies and services.Determine how these technologies will impact the cost and performance of enterprise and service networks.
Learn where and how fiber optic transmission will affect
the cost and availability of bandwidth and rapid provisioning.
Examine where and when optical switches will affect future
network services and how they will be billed.
Explore how Ethernet-based MANs and WANs can be brought
to the enterprise.
Compare MAN/WAN Ethernet (ELEC) to IP, ATM, and Frame Relay.
Learn what a softswitch is and how its versatility allows
enterprises to respond quickly to changes in traffic mix and volume.
Analyze the differences in the G3 and coming G4 wireless
world and its impact on data and web services.
Determine how a wireless Ethernet supports data, web, voice,
and video transmission and what security, density, distance, and speed limitations
exist.
Learn how network processor development affects the cost
of interfaces, reduces equipment footprints, and increases port density.
