The search within the cable industry for a standard approach to delivering RF signals over optical fiber is now several years under way. At the same time, passive optical networking (PON) technology has advanced within its separate standards bodies.

Join Communications Technology in this free webcast for an update on RF over Glass (RFoG) and PON technologies. Subject matter experts from the MSO and vendor communities will discuss the emerging RFoG standard; the complementary role of DOCSIS; the influence of the PON technologies; and several platforms designed to meet the cable industry’s incipient demand for fiber optic access solutions.

Those responsible for network strategy and design, fiber optic product development, DOCSIS services and technology, optical and access plant engineering and operations will profit from learning more about the technologies that stand at the intersection of these important trends.

Speakers:

	Mark Conner Chairman, SCTE IPS WG 5 Member Since 2007
	Bill Dawson VP Business Development and Product Strategy ARRIS
	Bob Harris VP Network Planning and Architecture Advanced Technology Group, Time Warner Cable
	Leonard Ray Business Development Manager, Access Networks Business Unit Cisco
	Jonathan Tombes Editor (Moderator) Communications Technology

How does the Webinar work?

The live audio is delivered to your location over the telephone or your computer speakers. The Power-Point presentations are presented over the Internet and are available to print out before the program. This is like a talk-radio program with visuals on the Web. You and your team will be able to have a live Q&A with all the speakers.

You need Real Player or Windows Media Player installed on your computer. If you do not have either, please follow the instructions below to download and install them. Or if you prefer, a phone for the audio and an Internet connection to let you watch the slides and other information on the Web will suffice. No other downloads or special hardware - a dial-up connection will work fine.

• One (1) set of materials (you may make copies for all of the persons you invited to listen to the program);
• One (1) toll-free connection to the seminar (if you select the audio connection.), and
• One (1) Internet connection to the seminar.

What equipment do I need?

For the audio connection:

• A computer with Real Player or Windows Media Player installed. When you log into the Virtual Seminar, your computer will be taken through a brief configuration check and will let you know if you're missing any software.
• If you do not have Real or Windows, a touch-tone telephone will work also. It works best to use a speakerphone so that others can listen too.

For the Internet connection:

• PC: 166Mhz Pentium-based PC or better
• Operating system: Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, XP
• Browser: For optimal viewing experience, we recommend using Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher. However, any version of IE 4.0 or higher will work. For Netscape, only versions 4.x are supported at this time.
• Internet connection: 28.8 or faster connection
• Display set at 1024 x 768 or 800 x 600
• Mac users are encouraged to use Firefox 2.0 (or later) with Real Player to view the webcast. You can also test your system using the system test button in menu on the left hand side.
