Packet Optical Transport Evolution 2010
Now in its second year, Packet Optical Transport Evolution has quickly become North America's must-attend optical-networking event serving network operators and their suppliers. Packet-Optical Transport Evolution continues Light Reading Live's tradition of top-notch, analyst-driven conference sessions with the leading suppliers and service providers in the industry today, in an accessible setting that fosters real networking among decision makers.

The global optical networking market continues to grow, driven by a strong demand for broadband data and video applications, both fixed and mobile. This insatiable appetite for bandwidth – from both consumers and businesses – is at the heart of the trend toward packet and optical convergence, or re-crafting the optical network to predominantly handle packet traffic and applications. While packet-optical transport first emerged in metro networks, we are now seeing the trend start to expand in both directions, upstream into the core and downstream into the access. The impact of packet-optical convergence on the optical industry – including equipment suppliers, network operators, and components suppliers – will be profound. And this new packet-optical transport network, when it becomes reality, will, in turn, open up a multitude of exciting new operator services.
From May 19 to May 20 in New York, NY
