Air Blown Fiber - Is It Just Hot Air?
Presented by Dennis Brown, Ericsson Inc.
More fiber optic cable will be installed in the US in the next couple years than in the last ten. The push for fiber to the customer premise is driving this demand. MSOs and Telecom companies are looking for the best way to beef up their fiber networks. This need has lead construction companies to find faster ways to install cable in the ground or air. The process of air blown fiber is fitting this need. This technique, used in Europe for years is now starting a buzz in the US market. Air blown fiber offers a faster and less stress delivery of fiber optic cable in a network. The special ducts used in air blown fiber can be installed in existing ducts of the network because of the smaller size of the cable and duct used in the process. How the duct is installed and the route it follows is important to get right. The proper planning will be covered to insure better installations.
Decibels
Presented by Karl Eilers

Ethernet in Modern Telecom, Including Service to Cell Sites
Presented by Dr. Tommy Bonner, Vivai Solutions
Ethernet has changed the entire communications world. The role Ethernet has played in communications has allowed us to expand all forms of communications. Without Ethernet the ability to transmit voice, video and data over wireless communications would be severally limited.
Fundamentals of Signal Modulation
Presented by Dr. William C. Bailey, Jr.
Advances in digital technology have revolutionized wireless communication and increased the complexity of information coding. Wireless communication systems now incorporate both analog and digital principles in ways that provide a seamless flow of information (both voice and data) between transmitter and receiver. In this session a non-mathematical overview of modulation techniques and their application will be presented. The intended audience is Communication and IT technicians that often must work with complex modulated signal, but have limited exposure or practical background in modulation theory. Topics covered will include: characteristics of analog and digital signals; analog modulation (amplitude, frequency, and phase); digital modulation (PAM, PWM, PPM, PCM, DPCM, and Delta); digital baseband and carrier modulation techniques, and digital coded signals (ASK, FSK, PSK, DPSK, M-ary and QAM signals). Those attending this session will acquire a fuller understanding of modulation techniques and their role in evolving communication systems.
IP Voting and Simulcasting
Presented by Bruce McPherson, Teltronic
This session will describe the current technology in IP-based voting and simulcasting techniques to provide wide-area land mobile radio coverage. A description of legacy systems, voting & simulcast theory, propagation, equipment, and interference considerations will be included.
Lightning and Grounding
Presented by Mark Pallans, Pallans Associates Communication Consultants

Innovative Approach Provides Robust Talent Pipeline for the Communications Industry
Presented by Tracy Ariel, Connecticut State Colleges and Universities
Connecticut has launched a statewide program to assure that high school graduates will embark on challenging, economically-productive careers. Connecticut Early College Opportunities (CT-ECO) programs are designed to prepare thousands of Connecticut students in high-skill jobs currently in technology fields, targeting at-risk and disadvantaged students. This model developed by IBM and the New York State Department of Education bridges grades 9-14 by offering high school, college and career training in one seamless educational experience, designed to meet the requirements for entry level positions in growth industries and launch students into middle careers. This innovative approach re-designs both secondary and post-secondary systems by going beyond the standard goals of college- and career-readiness- students complete a post-secondary credential, undertake assignments with partner employers, and are first in line for jobs upon graduation. This initiative serves the needs of individual students while providing a robust talent pipeline for the community and its employers.

RF and Laser Safety at Wireless Sites
Presented by Tom Dover, President of DTS
RF and Fiber Safety at Wireless is a 90-minute course designed for all workers who might come in contact with or be exposed to radio frequency radiation (RFR) or optical lasers used in wireless networks. This session covers four areas aimed at training the worker and general public including, who regulates this industry and potential hazards, what is the hazard, recognizing the hazard and mitigating the hazard. This is not a certification course, rather a preview of the subject and the increasing important in todays’ wireless environment. With an increase in the amount of RF energy in our environment, the importance for those installing and maintaining wireless to understand the potential dangers is growing. Most carrier and integrators require this training on an annual basis.
SDN, NFV and Fiber Optics for IOT
Presented by Raka Biswas, Ericsson Inc.
As we see in current Telecom network trends more and more traffic will pass across telco networks in 2020 than in the last 135 years added together. By the year 2020 a billion Terabytes or a Zettabyte of traffic will be sent over the telco network. This immense increase in traffic is due to increased use of smartphones, connected devices, and the use of mobile broadband with many services that are hosted on the IP networks. Operators are looking for ways to increase capacity, coverage and at same time ensure that their business KPIs are met. Traditional network architectures are ill-suited to meet the requirements of today’s enterprises, carriers, and end users. The future of connected society is Internet of Things (IOT). The ICT industry in general, sees Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) as a key new technologies for realizing the attributes of IOT. With Internet of Things not only that we need to do the networking differently or virtualize the network to scale network function better but at the same time we need greater physical capacity in the backhaul to transport high amount of data. With advanced technologies in Fiber network this mission will be realized.
Why is PIM Testing Important? Why Are so Few Doing It?
Presented by Tom Dover, President of DTS
Passive Intermodulation (PIM) has been with us since the beginning of radio; so why is it now important? Simply put the answer is NOISE! Radio noise often called the noise floor puts ear muffs on radio receivers reducing their ability to capture small signal levels. With the rapid move to LTE and other data rich wireless applications the impact of noise has received a great deal of attention. This presentation will provide a short overview of why PIM at long last is getting its due attention. The primary sources of PIM, along with a detailed discussion of internal vs. external PIM will be defined. How we can test for it in all radio bands? More importantly, how can it be mitigated? Time will be allocated for questions from the audience specific to problems found at radio sites.
Keynote Address
Optical Fiber Technology – Providing the Solution for 1 Tb/s Transmission
The evolution of fiber optic communications and optical fiber technology is accelerating with no slowdown in sight. In recent years, we have seen tremendous jumps from 40 Gb/s data rates to field trials of Terabit levels. Fiber optics is the backbone of the communications age and without it, the Internet would not link today’s users worldwide. From Fiber to the Home to high speed data centers to long haul telecommunications infrastructure, fiber optics is being deployed to fulfill the worldwide communications appetite for bandwidth.
Challenges ahead include an evolving technology, including advanced modulation formats, coherent detection and forward error correction, but also the role of technicians will expand to address changing technologies and fiber optic technologies.
