#DniŚwiatła2024

The mountains are about freedom and challenge. Forging new paths, acclimatisation and careful belaying.

Networks today demand the same approach from us: openness to multivendor solutions, skilful implementation of coherent modulation and quantum data security.

PANEL DISCUSSION
Open optical networks: a revolution in costs and management or a chance for a new deal for suppliers?

Open networks have the potential to radically reduce operators' operating costs. But will it be enough to change the way purchasing departments operate? How can increased competitive freedom in the supply of components help address technical challenges?
Participants in the debate will consider how interoperability will affect the future of telecoms networks. Will flexibility become the key to competitive advantage for operators? Or will the development of technologies such as 5G, 6G and IoT open the door to a full redefinition of the telecoms market?

Does Alien Lambda have a future? How to reconcile technology integrations between users so that mutual failures do not occur?
Salumanus

We will work out the Alien Lambda topic from the technical side. How to practically reconcile the operation of 400ZR pluggable optics with existing linear systems.  Introducing this technology which is inherently ‘alien’ due to the independent nature of IP and optical management systems. We will show the impact of this change on traditional network management systems and how the Alien Lambda architecture can provide tangible benefits to operators and enable the successful implementation of this new technology.
