Topic: “Packet Transport: Where Are We Standing and How Can We Go”
Speaker: Dr Jiaying Wang, Chief Engineer, Optical Transport Products, ZTE

Abstract
The values of transport network, e.g., large capacity, high reliability and flexible grooming functionalities, are challenged by the blossom of data services. IP/Ethernet deployment is growing rapidly. However, the advantages of photonics will guarantee the dominate functionalities of transport networks NOT to loss the position, but keep in a far future.

Currently, new and exciting IP-based content, applications and services is attractive for the carriers to extend their circuit transport networks to a unified networking platform in support of with packet transport capabilities, and move from today’s position on the packet service interface cards into the core fabrics to have capex and opex savings.
