Just one attack against your network could cost your business $200,000 or more, according to recent research by Infonetics. And traditional security measures, including firewalls, anti-malware, and VPNs are not keeping the threats out.
Why? Because your employees and guests are walking past the firewall, ignoring security updates, and not keeping their systems patched, and then plugging into the network with compromised machines.

Driven by the need to offer new services and support bandwidth-intensive applications like video, service providers are transforming their multiple networks to a single network using packet (IP/MPLS, Ethernet) versus TDM technologies (SONET/SDH). As they make this transition, carriers need the resiliency, determinism, and other connection-oriented functions inherent in TDM to be brought to packet protocols. Several options have arisen from the IEEE, IETF, and ITU standards groups, including PBB, PBB-TE, T-MPLS, and others.
This webinar focuses on the MPLS transport profile, or MPLS-TP, the new standard being developed jointly by the IETF and ITU-T to make the MPLS technology transport friendly. MPLS-TP is being designed to be a seamless transport protocol that extends IP/MPLS from the core to the edge and into the access, whether on carrier Ethernet switches, routers, or optical equipment.
This webinar will answer the following:
- What is MPLS-TP, and how does it work?
- What are the benefits of MPLS-TP?
- How will MPLS-TP address the requirements of optical and data transport departments to deliver next generation Ethernet services?

It's no secret that mobile backhaul bandwidth is under pressure thanks to increasing capacity demands from high-speed data services. Many operators are migrating to carrier Ethernet because it helps them address these constraints while protecting legacy radio and network infrastructure.
Managing a network that is ATM, TDM and Ethernet isn't difficult, if you have the right tools. This Webinar will help service providers learn how to:
- Manage transitioning a network that's part TDM, part ATM and part Ethernet
- Leverage carrier Ethernet to drive costs lower rather than just buying more equipment for more bandwidth
- Transition to true carrier Ethernet with carrier-class predictability, reliability, and manageability

Which IMS components are right for your wireline and wireless networks? 2007 marked the start of long-term large scale deployments of IMS components in wireline networks, made up mainly of HSS and CSCF components from single vendors. These limited deployments led to ‘IMS islands’, raising questions ranging from commercial availability and potential interoperability issues to whether a full-blown IMS architecture is even necessary. Meanwhile, wireless networks have yet to see significant IMS deployments, so picking IMS component winners and losers is harder still.
As service providers plan their IMS strategy, they need to know which IMS components to invest in, and which not to invest in. This webinar helps service providers evaluate key IMS components, specifically covering:
- Drivers for deploying IMS components
- A look at some real-world IMS deployments to date
- IMS components deployed for specific applications, such as fixed line VoIP and video sharing
- The overall impact of existing PSTN and PLMN architectures on IMS deployments
- Key indispensable IMS components, in current and future deployments

Service providers are investing in new packet optical transport (POT) capabilities to simplify and modernize their transport networks as they transition from SONET/SDH based networks toward an all packet IP/Ethernet network over the next 10 years. In a single chassis, Packet Optical Transport Systems (POTS) comprise the capabilities of WDM, ROADM, SONET/SDH, and carrier Ethernet switching, with growing requirements for OTN and COE (PBT/PBB-TE, T-MPLS). Service providers spent almost $750 million on POTS worldwide in 2007 and are forecast to spend $1.7 billion in 2010.
This webinar includes a live audience Q&A session, and covers:
- Features, functions and capacities of state-of-the-art POTS equipment
- Real world carrier deployments and lessons learned
- Trade-offs between single vs. multiple switch matrices
- Considerations for moving to POTS without SONET/SDH
- POTS vs. separate Ethernet, SONET/SDH, and WDM/ROADM products: pricing and deployment considerations

Service providers are using carrier Ethernet (CE) to lower their costs to deliver a range of services across their customer constituencies, including residential/consumer, business, mobile backhaul, and packet transport. Although CE handles transport applications, CE products today come with extensive feature sets to support existing and next gen metro services. Many services requiring resiliency, high availability, QoS, and CIR/PIR SLAs that were previously only delivered on TDM networks pex and opex. Similarly, the (SONET/SDH) are now deployed on CE, at a lower cost structure for both cawidely deployed T1/E1 voice and other TDM services now are carried on CE. Further, new extended LAN (E-LAN) services using native capabilities of carrier Ethernet present a lower cost to service providers and customers alike as compared to PDH over SONET/SDH.
This webinar presents and explores the next gen carrier Ethernet feature sets and how they help deliver complex services at lower costs for residential, business, mobile backhaul, and transport customers over a single carrier Ethernet infrastructure, including:
- Features that lower operational costs using carrier Ethernet
- Features used to deliver IPTV and other residential services
- Delivering business services with resiliency and CIR/PIR SLAs
- Mobile backhaul packet problems solved by carrier Ethernet
- State-of-the-art of carrier Ethernet OAM&P

With two-way connections, IPTV allows advertisers to more accurately target viewing audiences based on metrics such as viewing habits, subscriber profiles, and location. But how does it really work, both at the network layer and at the service delivery and subscriber management layers? What will these ads look like and how much revenue can service providers expect to generate off these ads?
This webinar will provide insight into how service providers can generate revenue from addressable IPTV ads by examining:
- How targeted, addressable, and interactive advertising works in IPTV networks
- How subscriber metadata is captured and made available to advertisers to measure the effectiveness of their campaigns
- How much revenue IPTV operators expect to generate by offering highly-localized and interactive ads
- What steps IPTV operators need to take to upgrade their OSS and BSS systems to successfully deliver targeted ads

With increased use of carrier Ethernet from access to metro to core, the focus has turned to the emergence of connection oriented Ethernet (COE) technologies to achieve a resilient, deterministic, reliable, and simpler packet transport. The development of Layer 2 PBT/PBB-TE brings comparisons to Layer 3 MPLS, highlighting the tension that exists in transport network design decisions between rich functionality and cost of operation.
The effort to simplify packet transport in the early PBT/PBB-TE protocols led to several limitations that curb service providers’ ability to deploy advanced applications and business models, including IPTV. In this webinar we will address missing functionalities such as point-to-multipoint support, traffic engineering, and quality of service mechanisms, and offer remedies that can greatly expand COE and PBT/PBB-TE functionality while keeping its appeal as a simple, deterministic, and low-OPEX technology. Sponsored by:
Specifically, this webinar covers:
- Early COE implementation issues using PBT/PBT-TE technology
- Whether PBT/PBB-TE can be used for multicast and point-to-multipoint, or only for low-end carrier applications
- A COE case study
- Combining PBT/PBT-TE with dynamic traffic engineering to expand applicability
- Whether a dynamic PBT/PBT-TE can match up to IP/MPLS and T-MPLS
