/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- JDSU, a leading enabler of broadband and
optical innovation, today announced that Dr. Stan Lumish, chief
technology officer at JDSU, will be speaking at the "Future of
Optical" conference at the Marriott Marble Arch Hotel in London
next week on May 15, 2007 from 9:00 A.M. to 6:30 P.M. The
conference was created by telecommunications industry publication
Light Reading to serve as an annual forum for exploring the optical
networking infrastructure, markets, and technology as they pertain
to Europe and to the world. Dr. Lumish will participate with other
industry experts on two panels during the day-long event. The
panels will address critical issues that optical vendors, network
equipment manufacturers and network operators face as the rising
popularity of on-demand applications continue to drive the need for
flexible and high-quality products and services at every stage of
network deployment. Panel details are as follows: -- 10:45 - 12:00
P.M. - "Building New Business Models With Optical "- Major
operators have turned a corner in their planning, as strategies
have shifted from cost reduction to new revenue generation. Optical
networking played a critical role in the cost reduction phase of
the early decade, and it's also well suited for telecom's new
revenue-generation phase. This panel explores some of the
interesting business model options available to telecom providers
and the value that optical networking brings to them. -- 3:15 -
4:30 P.M. - "Building the Next-Generation Backbone" - Throughout
this decade, the long-haul network has been the bane of the optical
industry, as carriers around the world were steeped in
overcapacity. But now the long-haul market is back, and backbone
vendors are reporting the strongest growth they've seen in years. A
new round of spending has begun. What's behind this backbone
networking resurgence? This panel explores the key drivers of
backbone network growth and explains the key technologies of the
next-generation backbone, including 40G and 100G transmission
systems, multi-haul, OTN, GMPLS/ASON, and integrated optics. To
