Disaster Recovery and Resiliency for Fiber Networks

Description

In the face of weather-related and other disasters, it is imperative that cable operators are prepared to restore connectivity efficiently and effectively. You won’t regret joining us at this disaster recovery and resiliency focused session, moderated by Fernando Villarruel of Ciena.

Comcast’s Venk Mutalik takes us back to Hurricane Ian that made landfall on the West Coast of Florida, with sustained winds approaching 155 mph. The experts will focus on the technology deployed, the efforts at design and the ability to correlate results from the lab and other trials and innovation by the leadership and teams to restore connectivity to Florida.

Whether facing disastrous events or increased demands on network infrastructure, operators can become nimbler and more flexible with segment routing. Deepandra Malla from Cox helps operators take a closer look, presenting the deployment of segment routing for passive optical network (PON) aggregation in Cox’s metro networks, delivering improved network scalability, reduced complexity and simplified operations. 

Another important focus area for disaster recovery and network resiliency is designing and implementing virtual Broadband Network Gateway (vBNG) in the cloud. Jim Huang with AWS Telco Business Unit, in collaboration with Ciena, provides a blueprint for this process using real-world scenarios. You will learn how cloud technology can be used to make vBNG even better, with improved reliability and the ability to handle more users.
