Welcome Message From The Conference Chair

Welcome to the 8th annual OptiNet China, the nation's premier optical networking conference. Since 2001 this widely-respected event has been the prime forum for service providers for exploring the latest technologies, services and business models associated with optical networking.

Over the past seven years, OptiNet China has addressed the critical issues facing service providers in building and managing optical networking infrastructure. With China’s leading carriers about to roll out optical access networks nationwide, now is the time to discuss key deployment and business challenges. What new service opportunities will optical networks enable? What do I need to know about planning and executing my network buildout? How to profitably deliver high-quality services? What are the technology innovations and breakthroughs in China and abroad? What has been the experience of international service providers?

Over two days of presentations and discussion, OptiNet China 2008 offers the chance for service provider executives to engage with industry leaders on all aspects of optical networking. Attendance is anticipated to continue growing as well – last year's event drew more than 550 attendees from around the country. I look forward to meeting you in Beijing.

Sincerely,
Wei Leping
Chairman
OptiNet China 2008
CTO, China Telecom

At OptiNet China 2008, the biggest focus will be on the pending large-scale rollout of optical metro access networks in China. Can FTTH cost-effectively meet the soaring demand for high-speed bandwidth? Can it enable new and profitable carrier revenue streams? What are the innovations and breakthroughs in access, transport and switching technologies?
