This contains the next ten upcoming MRV Events. http://www.mrv.com/newsroom/events/ http://www.mrv.com/newsroom/events/ Backhaul is the glue that binds local access points to carrier networks. The all new Mobile Backhaul Pavilion will bring together wireless and wireline technologies at North America’s largest telecom show in a way that has never been done before! Expect to see the latest technologies exhibited – from next-gen IP/Ethernet wireline to microwave backhaul solutions. The Mobile Backhaul Pavilion will congregate those companies servicing the spectrum of carrier backhaul needs. By working and showcasing in one designated area, exhibitors make a powerful statement about the growing importance of mobile backhaul solutions. http://www.mrv.com/newsroom/events/ SkiTAM is the annual fundraising program of CTAM of the Rocky Mountains. SkiTAM’s annual ski weekend is the year’s best industry networking event and directly benefits the U.S. Adaptive Ski Team. The 2010 event will be held April 8-11 in Vail, Colorado. The event has grown considerably, attracting an impressive list of Cable & Telecommunications Industry VIPs and multiple sponsors over the past thirteen years to support the USAST and its activities. Due to the outstanding support of the Cable & Telecommunications Industry, SkiTAM is the single largest source of support for the team. Funds raised by the annual SkiTAM event allow USAST athletes to train and compete throughout the ski season. http://www.mrv.com/newsroom/events/ Ethernet Europe 2010 is the premier event covering the hot topic of carrier Ethernet network technologies and services in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA). Light Reading's tenth Ethernet event, this year's event in London will assemble dozens of experts from the service provider, supplier, and analyst communities to explore the hottest trends and paint a roadmap for where Ethernet is likely to take us in the coming decade. Ethernet is, without a doubt, one of the most important communications technologies developed in the last 30+ years. High-performance Ethernet, known commonly as Carrier Ethernet, is rapidly becoming the technology of choice for controlling network communications costs, consolidating services onto a common infrastructure, and enabling more tailored services for consumers, enterprises, and operators. http://www.mrv.com/newsroom/events/ ENTELEC is a user association focusing on communications and control technologies used by petroleum, natural gas, pipeline and electric utility companies. ENTELEC’s primary goal is to provide education for its members. To achieve this goal ENTELEC provides an educational platform for these industries, including technical presentations, equipment, exhibits and networking opportunities during the annual ENTELEC Conference & Expo. http://www.mrv.com/newsroom/events/ http://www.mrv.com/newsroom/events/ Packet Transport Networks is a detailed and specific forum for senior professionals looking to tap into the most current thinking on packet evolution strategies, key technology advances, systems developments, standards and deployment options. This year IIR are proud to announce Telecom Italia as Lead Operator at PTN. They will add a number of presentations along with many senior professionals from different service providers throughout EMEA – both fixed and mobile specialists. You can develop a balanced view of the key implementation and investment trends and find out where the technology and business model gaps and challenges remain for operators. http://www.mrv.com/newsroom/events/ See what’s new, learn what’s cutting edge and identify technology must-haves for your business.

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. http://www.mrv.com/newsroom/events/
