TELECOMMUNICATIONS ESSENTIALS®
DAY Three
NEXT GENERATION BROADBAND NETWORKS

Building on the foundation laid in Day One and Day Two, Day Three addresses broadband technologies and next generation networks, including the convergence of telecommunications with related industries - including computing, consumer electronics, entertainment, publishing, and power utilities. The evolution of broadband capabilities in the PSTN, Internet, Cable TV and Wireless infrastructures are discussed, with a focus on the applications scenario driving the requirement for new classes of networks as well as technologies for enabling interactive service platforms. These advanced applications include high-speed data transfer, Internet and e-commerce applications, interactive visual communications, multimedia information systems, and mobility. Broadband networking discussions include the emerging three-tiered broadband architecture (access, edge and core), the role of IP and ATM at the edge and in the core, the nature of the intelligent edge and the multiservice network, service class and quality of service definitions, advances in optical networking, and broadband access alternatives. The fundamental conflict between mobility and broadband communications is being addressed on many fronts, and exciting new technologies and implementation techniques are making anytime/anywhere computing and communicating a reality in many different and convenient form factors. We will also look at emerging fixed wireless alternatives for voice, data, and multimedia, and what may be the most important driver of wireless of all - wireless access to the Internet.
