Hallo,

I hope that you don't mind me sending you this out of the blue but I have been part of the MPLS working group for the last few weeks, as I have been researching a conference on IP over SDH & WDM and I thought that, as the conference is so relevant, you would be very interested to see the finished programme. It is a four day event to be held in London the 17th-19th of September, looking at strategies for developing a cost effective and scalable transmission network architecture to optimise the transport and management of your IP, voice and multimedia traffic. Plus there is a workshop on MPLS run by Cisco.

All the details of the event are below, I will also send you a booking form in an accompanying email that you can return to me on: [email-masked]

I hope this is of interest to you and apologise for taking up your time if not.

Best Wishes

Why You Should Attend This Event

During my research for this event, the same key phrases came up again and again: efficiency, cost effectiveness, scalability, interoperability. The explosion of data traffic has provoked serious debate over the best way to transport IP traffic in the network and with so many potential solutions for carrying IP, operators are faced with the challenge of deciding which solution best fits their requirements. Incumbents have to consider their legacy investments, new entrants have to decide what architecture to build, but all have the same aim in mind; to development an efficient, cost-effective and scalable network to carry IP traffic.

This event offers the ideal opportunity to meet the experts and weigh the relative merits of the different solutions. Discuss with 10 leading operators the reasons for their choice and hear the latest technological solutions from the key manufacturers:

* Examine the future role of ATM and determine the implications of removing it from the architecture
* Evaluate MPLS as a replacement for ATM to ensure QoS and effective traffic management
* Examine the current status of standards for network architecture carrying IP traffic
* Implement protection schemes to optimise the restoration and survivability of the multi protocol transmission network
Take a look at the conference programme and you will see many other compelling reasons why you cannot afford to miss this conference. It is predicted that data traffic will take up 90% of future bandwidth but only provide 25% of revenue so it is essential that you develop an efficient, cost effective scalable architecture now.
