The 8th International Telecom Sync Forum
will be held in Dublin, Ireland from 2nd-4th November 2010
The challenge facing the telecom community is delivering increasingly precise time and timing to the edge of the network for different user groups under increasingly challenging conditions of an evolving Ethernet transmission infrastructure. Challenges explored in this years ITSF will include
- Mobile networks are deploying TDD & LTE technology for 4G networks
- Time sensitive applications in the home & studio
- Smart Grid synchronisation for power generation and transmission
- Financial services transactions timing
- Digital Video and Audio broadcasting, Mobile broadcast multimedia services
The 2010 Dublin Symposia also proposes to introduce some Standards guidance output through a workshop moderated by ITU SG15/Q13 members
Now that the Standards are defined and networks are rolling out – real testing begins! This year’s Symposium will include sessions on Applications, Performance, Testing, Generation & Distribution, Access Technologies and Standards for Phase, Time and Timing (PTT)
Day 1 AM – Introduction and Keynote, Applications – Needs for PTT, Requirements & Vulnerabilities
Day 1 PM - PTT Performance – Establishing the Challenge, Suitability of the Metrics & Profiles
Day 2 AM – PTT Testing – Procedures, Test Cases, Results
Day 2 PM - PTT Generation & Distribution (PNT (GNSS & eLoran etc), Ethernet, Holdover, Back-up, Hybrid Solutions, Intra-site & Inter-site)
Day 3 AM – Challenges & Solutions for PPT in different Access Technologies – e.g. GPON, DSL, Microwave Links,
Day 3 PM – PTT Standards – Existing & Current Work in Progress - Standards Guidance debate
See the 2009 Event Flyer for a taste of things to come
Who Should Attend?
The next ITSF will again 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
- Sync & standards specialists
- Equipment designers
- Silicon, FPGA designers
- Network operators and managers
- Academics involved with telecom networks
- Anyone working in new technologies such as SyncE, PTPv2, LTE, GPON, WiMax, TDD
- Anyone working in applications such as IPTV, VoIP, MBMS.
- Product designers of clock recovery circuits & phase locked loops telecom infrastructure equipment will also find the conference useful
