Optical Network Evolution

CIENA, Helen Xenos, Director, Product & Technology Marketing

SALON E

The way traffic is transported around the network is evolving rapidly, allowing low cost per bit and enhanced automation of
the network resulting in lower OPEX.
This seminar will focus on technology advances key to this transformation, including:
- DWDM modem and photonics evolution
- OTN (Optical Transport Network) as a key transport technology
- Network automation via highly flexible control planes and SDN (Software Defined Networking).

Proper Grounding and Bonding Testing and Maintenance in Buildings & Towers SALON F
MEGGER, Ed Rousselot, Datacom Technical Sales

Grounding and bonding is a common problem everyone is familiar with. In this session we learn the difference between
resistance and resistivity. We discuss soil resistivity and how to measure it, ground electrode system components and their
proper installation, ground electrodes, conductors and bars, and bonding connectors - Mechanical, Compression,
Exothermic.
We explain ways to measure the effectiveness of the ground electrode system by ground testing, three-terminal ground
resistance testing and clamp ground resistance testing.

In Building Antenna Systems Tools & Tips

GAP WIRELESS , Marc Landry, Senior Account Manager

SALON G

Our dependency on mobile devices grows larger every day. Along with this dependency comes the requirement for
ubiquitous wireless coverage for both voice and data services in the workplace. In Building Distributed Antenna Systems

Why Batteries Fail - Backup Battery System Testing and Maintenance

SALON G

EFFIGIS, Daniel Babeux, VP Business Development, Broadband, sponsored by Telonix

Industry Canada (I.C.) has released a Standard Radio System Plan (SRSP), which outlines the technical requirements for
the operation of Mobile Broadband Services (MBS) in the bands 698-756 MHz and 777-787 MHz I.C., and auctioned the
700 MHz MBS in January 2014. I.C. expects that most cable operators will eventually transition to all-digital systems. The
upcoming deployment of LTE cellular technology in the 700 MHz band has increased awareness of potential signal ingress
and egress impairments between cellular and broadband cable operators. LTE operators will be pressuring cable operators
to minimize leakage in the LTE band. We review the design of a comprehensive shielding integrity monitoring solution that
addresses both concerns of Aeronautical/LTE band cable leakage impairments. We identify a proposed I.C. frequency
allocation plan for MBS services and potential technical impacts on broadband cable services. We present a shielding
integrity monitoring strategy based on best engineering practices and show the benefits of maintaining proper shielding
integrity both on upstream and downstream paths.
JDSU, Tim Yount, Market JDSU, Dev. Manager, Fiber Network Testing

The growing need for bandwidth capacity has fueled the development of the 100G based network. In addition, the global
shift toward the use of OTN client interfaces makes the adoption of stringent test procedures an important consideration.
We discuss recent developments in high-speed networking, specifically with respect to core backbone technologies. We
address the ongoing 100G wave, how 40G technology is being used as an interim step toward a higher capacity core, and
how test solutions are keeping pace both for provisioning and maintaining these critical networks. We provide a basic
overview of 100Gig technologies, including a guide to understand the differences between client-side and line-side 100G
deployments. We discuss fiber infrastructure testing considerations on both sides, including the implications of coherent
detection & dual polarization transmission.
MEGGER, Ed Rousselot, Datacom Technical Sales

The two main battery chemistries used today are lead-acid and nickel-cadmium. Future chemistries include lithium, prevalent
in portable battery systems, but not stationary systems. With refinements over the decades, it has become a critically
important back-up power source. Refinements include improved alloys, grid designs, jar and cover materials and improved
jar-to-cover and post seals. Arguably, the most revolutionary development was the valve-regulated development. Many
similar improvements in nickel-cadmium chemistry have been developed over the years. We discover best practices on
testing battery life, what can be done to improve battery life and how to track battery health. Is your equipment adequately
backed up?

With the arrival of 4G services, bandwidth requirements are increasing rapidly to accommodate the growth of data traffic.
Most operators will require fiber connectivity to towers to upgrade their networks to 4G or LTE services.Wireless Backhaul
Providers can provide fiber connectivity at a very competitive price by using CWDM technology to interconnect cellular
sites back to the Mobile Switching Centers (MSC). Hardened CWDM modules can be installed in outside plant cabinets or
splice enclosures and can provide wavelength connectivity to multiple wireless operators, thereby reducing the overall cost
of the transport architecture. Also covered are various reliable designs suitable for these applications, supporting both
simplicity of operation and flexibility of design.
TEKTRONIX CANADA , Robin Jackman, Application Engineer, sponsored by Testforce

Complaints on network performance are common when your network is a victim of interference. This session provides

CLEARCABLE NETWORKS, Rob McCann, President

SALON E

Subscriber consumption continues to grow at 50% CAGR and the relative near-term future requires a fundamental shift in
technology. Building new greenfield FTTH plant is the same or even more cost-effective than building new HFC, but what
do we do about brownfield? Changes are necessary in physical plant and overall technology, but the paces of technology
advancement means careful planning to do just enough to meet the demand without spending capital. This session
examines technology options for breathing more life into old plant.

Implementing Second Screen Services using Adaptive Bitrate Streaming Techniques SALON E
INCOSPEC COMMUNICATIONS, Louis Sebastiani, Director of Projects and Products

The increase of available Internet bandwidth at affordable cost has allowed new video delivery business models to emerge
that compete with content providers over unmanaged networks. Having little network capital costs provides a distinct
advantage for the new competitors. New entrants can offer services at lower costs competing on the same networks that
the traditional service providers have built and paid for.
This session centers around how to use IPTV technology to provide delivery to other devices, such as tablets and smart
phones, etc. We address the difference between managed and unmanaged networks. Also covered is the transport layer,
what MPEG video is and touches on differences between Mpeg2 and Mpeg4. We discuss protocols for delivering OTT
content and transcoding a service into multiple profiles to support the adaptive bit rate streaming techniques.

3 Reasons to explore Touchless Locating and Monitoring

SALON G

ALCATEL LUCENT, Tony Kourlas, Technology Marketing Professional

With the advent of the Cloud, more applications are being ported from private datacenters on private networks to generalpurpose clouds built using virtualized, multi-tenanted infrastructure. This new way of operating networks is enabled by the
introduction of an SDN framework. SDN will facilitate network automation across IP and Optical networks by providing a
global view and coordinated provisioning and optimization across layers L0-L3, resulting in increased operational efficiency.
SDN will also provide better programmability and service instantiation across IP/Optical networks for Data Center
Interconnection and Cloud services providing service acceleration.
EXFO, Gwenn Amice, Senior Application Engineer

Fiber optic is in the CORE, in the Access, in DAS, in FTTH, DATA centers, Central offices, head ends, CATV, RFoG, and
everywhere Session covers cleaning & inspection of fiber optic connectors and what must be done when manipulating
connectors. Should we inspect, clean onlydo both? Should the use of alcohol or air pressure be used on connectors?
We review different standards for inspection and best practises for cleaning connectors and show real cases with real
measurement, situations, impact cleaning and inspection on networks.
JDSU, Tahmina Hoque, Field Applications Engineer

This session covers new techniques to support provisioning and troubleshooting a network beyond layers 2 & 3. RFC6349 defines high-speed TCP testing and application of this standard, which is now vital since traditional troubleshooting
methods often fall short in modern networks. In cases where actual TCP throughput does not equal the ideal, RFC 6349
also provides practical guidelines for tuning the network and/or end hosts. We review a specific implementation of RFC6349, plus how and when to use it in your network.
NORSCAN INSTRUMENTS, Maurice Dequier, Account Manager

Accurate cable locates are a critical step in preventing damage, and the resulting outages and repairs. Traditional methods,
however, can quickly but quietly escalate network management costs and offer no insights into the integrity of buried cable.
In this session, well explore technology that helps you: 1) significantly reduce costs; 2) make informed maintenance
decisions; and 3) ensure that your fiber optic network is operating at optimum levels.

Distributed CMTS in Next Evolution of HFC Networks

POWER & TEL, Pierre Blais, Application Engineer

SALON E

Operators are evaluating their options when it comes to network upgrade to offer high-speed Internet services, VOD and
SDV using IP for delivery to the end users.
For those looking for a cost effective upgrade of their existing network and want to use much of the existing infrastructure,
this evolutionary path leads to deep fiber deployment with fiber nodes serving between 100 and 250 subscribers.
Various benefits in moving the CMTS from the head end to deploy it in the field will be reviewed. As operators move to
distributed CMTS, benefits will become clear and may ultimately make the future move to fiber-to-the home unnecessary.

SALON E

Bringing SDN/NFV to Life (Real Life Use Cases)

SALON F

ALPHA TECHNOLOGIES, Kevin Borders, Director, Product Marketing

One of the bigger hurdles in deploying Indoor Distributed Antenna System, (IDAS) networks is how to power the distributed
remote nodes. Providers wrestle with where to locate the power system, whether battery backup is required, and
implications of the power system size and shape on aesthetics of the venue. Some service providers avoid placing power
systems and batteries at the node by powering them over copper cable with current supplied by the host power system.
We describe how this line powering technique works, how to engineer a site using this approach, and what the pros and
cons of this method are. We address requirements for the copper cables connecting the nodes to the host, with emphasis
on ensuring compliance with the Canadian Electrical Code and CSA.
CYAN, Nirav Modi, Director of Software Innovations, sponsored by Fonex Data Systems

Session focuses on SDN and NFV in the context of the wide area network - specifically the mobile core, aggregation of
carrier networks and Data Center interconnect. We cover the five stages to implementing SDN and NFV:
Discovery: Uncover initial services or applications that can to be virtualized or automated.
Simplification: Simplify existing infrastructure in preparation for software automation and control
Automation & Control: A single pane of glass to manage and control both networks and services.
Orchestration: Combine WAN with data centre resources.
