Focusing on the Broadband Ecosystem ‘Middle Mile’ from the Fiber OLT to the Data Center and Cloud, panelists will discuss the technological advancements that promote a path to network virtualization, and disaggregation that enables network and service agility. Ultimately, a standards-based approach to the middle mile provides the transition from monolithic hardware to software-defined access networks. This enables service providers to be more responsive to market demand and to mix and match best-of-breed solutions for their specific needs.

In-home/Building Connectivity Options
2:00 – 3:20, Tuesday July 30
In a greenfield and perfect world, every connection would be fiber. In the real-world, however, it is not always possible to extend the fiber, within every single-family and multi-tenant building. So, what are your options when you want to offer a fiber-grade service to individual rooms, apartments, and offices? Panelists will discuss various techniques operators are using to reclaim existing in-building copper, advancements in carrier-grade Wi-Fi, as well as brand new fiber opportunities.
