Vendor Session: Maximizing Returns with Potential
5G Network Design and Use Cases While Avoiding
Legal and Regulatory Obstacles
The HUB

Tom Peters, Senior Advisor, Hogan Lovells
With annual service revenues estimated at more than $250
billion by 2025, 5G broadband promises to fundamentally
change the way the world generates and receives data.
The advent of 5G has awakened established operators from
throughout multiple discrete industries to vulnerabilities in
their existing business models. Realizing the 5G revolution
will require not only vast swaths of newly available spectrum,
but also a huge surge in the deployment of point-to-point
and point-to-multipoint backhaul networks. When will the
new spectrum to fuel the 5G revolution become available?
How will 5G network design and evolution affect potential
applications and use cases? How do operators intend to carry
the enormous traffic that hyper-dense network deployments
promise to generate? And what legal and regulatory obstacles
stand in the way?
1:30 p.m. – 2:00 p.m.
Vendor Session: SD-WAN 2.0: Building
a Better SD-WAN
The HUB
Sponsored by
Speaker:
Prayson Pate, Chief Technical Officer, Ensemble Division,
ADVA Optical Networking
Software-defined wide area networks (SD-WAN)
are a red-hot topic with enterprise users and telco
service providers. SD-WAN enables enterprise users
to cut expenses for private networks, but at the cost
of managing those networks and committing to single-
sourced solutions. On the other side, telco service
providers are deploying SD-WAN to respond to the
threat to their VPN revenues. However, the current
implementation in monolithic appliances or VNFs is not
consistent with the direction of network evolution. This
session will explore how SD-WAN will evolve to better
meet the needs of both enterprises and operators.
2:00 p.m. – 2:30 p.m.

Vendor Session: Enable Your OSS to Accelerate,
Not Hinder, Ethernet Sales
The HUB
Sponsored by
Speaker:
John Denemark, Sr. Director of Product Management,
Neustar Carrier Services
Vertical Systems Group reports that over 60% of new
Ethernet connections were delivered by CLECs and
Cable MSOs in the first half of 2016, with 17% annualized
growth expected for the full year. With tremendous
opportunity for new revenue and footprint expansion,
carriers are restrained by service fulfillment and order
management systems that aren’t designed to manage the
idiosyncrasies of Ethernet. Join Mr. Denemark to hear
how Neustar streamlines the exchange of order status
between access providers and their customers for faster
delivery, cost savings and revenue.
