SUMMARY:FFB Week 31 - Middle Mile Networks: More Traffic than You Were Expecting
DESCRIPTION:While much of the attention of the industry is on the BEAD program\, the NTIA has already allocated $930 million of the Middle Mile Infrastructure fund\, and construction on these Middle Mile Networks will be beginning soon. But what\, specifically\, do we mean by the Middle Mile Network. This session of Fiber for Breakfast examines the Middle Mile Network from its definition to practical aspects of connecting broadband access networks to the Internet. We will survey:\n• The NTIA’s definition of Middle Mile Infrastructure\,\n• The common understanding of Middle Mile Networks as the connection between access networks and the Internet\,\n• The requirements that Middle Mile Networks must meet\,\n• How the introduction of IP functionality into access networks affects Middle Mile Networks\, and\n• How the introduction of 100 Mb/s capacity for all lines served by a central office causes the data traffic aggregated onto the Middle Mile Network to mushroom into terabits/sec of traffic.\nAs access networks are transformed to provide the requisite capacity to meet federal requirements\, the Middle Mile Networks will need to be transformed\, too. \nWebinar Presenter: Rick Talbot\, Principal Analyst\, ACG Research \nRick Talbot\, Principal Analyst of Intelligent Optical Networking\, Broadband Network Transformation\, and 5G RAN xHaul practices at ACG Research\, combines expertise in network access\, optical transport and switching technologies\, and a deep understanding of the telecommunications industry competitive landscape\, business (and regulatory) issues and economic trends to provide a comprehensive view of the industry. He gained this broad experience in over 40 years of technical marketing and sales engineering roles at network systems vendors and network architecture design roles at service providers. \nRick holds an MBA from Southern Methodist University and a Bachelor of Engineering Science from Trinity University. He is a registered professional engineer in the State of Texas and a senior Institute of Electrical & Electronics Engineers. (IEEE) \n  \n		\n					\n				Register Now
