Overview

Synchronisation touches every area of telecommunications, and being out of touch in the sector is not an option. We're in an industry that demands faster, more complex services for all our communications needs, whether electronic or plain old voice -but these services will fail if the correct infrastructure is not in place.

  • Remember the evolution from PDH to SDH/SONET?
  • Know what 's ahead with the roll-out of ATM or the evolution to packet based optical communications?

If you do - come and speak at the forum. If you don't - come and listen!

What is the International Telecom Sync Forum?

Organised by key players from within the industry, ITSF is an annual three day, papers driven forum and workshop for the telecom industry, focusing on developments, techniques, issues, problems and solutions relating to synchronisation and timing. A social programme will accompany the event including a tour of the Royal Observatory, Greenwich -the home of Greenwich Mean Time and a speaker dinner.

Who is it for?

The forum is aimed at network carriers; mobile operators; equipment manufacturers and related businesses such as ISPs, bandwidth resellers, hosting companies, undersea cable operators, enterprise networks and CLECs.

What topics will be covered?

ITSF will look at the full range of sync related topics from the basics through to future technology developments, with a strong focus on practical applications and product-driven papers. For newcomers to synchronisation a workshop session will bring participants swiftly up to speed. Opening with a keynote speech from a representative of the UK Government Trade and Industry responsible for telecommunications, then over six sessions the forum will include papers covering:

  • The Background and Business Case for Sync
  • Synchronisation Standards & Measurement Technology
  • Network Synchronisation in Local, National & International Networks
  • Internetworking with Emerging Technologies - Synchronisation Issues
  • Effect of Emerging Core &Access Technology with Sync Transport Layer
    Complementary Disciplines:Time transfer, Network Management & Planning

Who should attend?

ITSF will present a unique opportunity to mix with experts in the field from all areas of synchronisation and is a must for

  • network designers, planners &architects
  • service &support engineers
  • core &access network strategists
  • transmission planners
  • sync &standards specialists
  • equipment designers
  • network operators
  • managers of network operations, or anyone working in technologies such as ATM,SDH,WDM & DWDM, xDSL, IP, optical networks &satellite communications. Product designers of clock recovery circuits & phase locked loops in telecom infrastructure equipment should also consider attending
