What They’re Saying About NXTcomm08 and the Industry
What do you see as the top challenges for our industry?
“One top challenge lies in the backbone networks and their ability to grow commensurately with the crush of high-bandwidth services flooding in from wireline and wireless broadband access networks. We all know that hi-def video and the like are straining network capacities and the operators find themselves in a real economic dilemma in upgrading the backbones from 10 to 40G, and eventually 100G. Service providers must find a way to fully utilize their 10G deployed optical networks and break the traditional – and increasingly shorter - cycle of continued capital investment in network upgrades, as we saw in going from 2.5 to 10 Gbs.”
