The Technology Theatre at the Broadband World Forum Europe will be host to live sessions presented by industry-leading organizations. As part of the complimentary programming, these 20-minute sessions will feature an array of new products, services, and solutions presented by the product creators themselves.

After attending the presentations, attendees are invited to visit the exhibition stand of the presenter for a hands-on, detailed demonstration of the technologies presented.

13:00 – 13:20 The next step in fiber evolution — NSN launches its new FTTC/B products and QualityTV software package

Nokia Siemens Networks launches a new range of IP-DSLAMs aimed at FTTB and FTTC deployments - the hiX5608, hiX5621, and hiX5622. In addition, a new software package, QualityTV, is introduced across the entire hiX56xx IP–DSLAM family: QualityTV enhances and assures IPTV performance for VDSL2 in addition to new and existing ADSL2+ deployments. The first main feature in this package is enhanced impulse noise protection (INP), which allows for lost data packages to be reconstructed without errors. The second is gamma-layer retransmission, which allows extremely fast and service selective retransmission of lost data packages in the case where INP alone is not able to cope.

Juergen Grabenhofer Manager, Global Solution Sales, DSLAM Nokia Siemens Networks

Mr. Grabenhofer's previous positions within Siemens Communications include managing an expert team for managed services and R&D project management for IP–DSLAMs. Before joining the company seven years ago, he worked for the European Space Agency in technology transfer.

13:30 – 13:50 “Context-Aware Community Service” Paves the Way toward Web 3.0

Leveraging Context Information to Deliver Convergent Telco/ICT Services in a User-Defined Fashion

The “context-aware community service” stands as the telematic tool capable of automatically triggering telco/ICT services (e.g., voice, video, messaging) on the basis of context information (e.g., identity, location, presence) related to one or more actors/devices, following user-generated experience.

Service inherits the concepts of “Internet of things” and “Internet of services,” assuming the availability of context information, related both to human and not-human entities, and the exploitability of service building blocks, according to a service-oriented architecture (SOA) paradigm at the Web level.

More details on the service is expected to gather context information and trigger telco/ICT services by means of a middleware made up of a number of service enablers, including, but not limited to, terminal location, terminal status, presence, privacy control, geocoding/reverse geocoding, short messaging, multimedia messaging, audio calling, third-party calling, multimedia streaming control, identity management, payment, and management.

16:00 – 16:20 Beijing Wise Sight Technology (Sooner)

A virtual streaming delivery network is an application-layer multicast technology that enables broadband operator and video ISPs to support high-definition video broadcasting service in their infrastructure. It is an end-to-end carrier-class solution for building a large-scale video service operation over a current IP network, which is similar to an IP–multicast enabling network but is more flexible and more cost-effective. Compared with current IPTV and video solutions, it works as a public open platform that allows multiple ISPs to use the infrastructure to run their own high-quality video services and support multiple applications. It is a carrier-class solution to offer public video bearer service, greatly optimizing bandwidth in the IP core when running with large-scale video service. It’s a technology that enables telecom to manage video traffic, which can finally replace the “uncontrollable” P2P traffic.
