Backhaul transformation to support 3G/LTE: Challenges and Mitigation
Mobile backhaul has become a bottleneck as mobile operators struggle to cope with the explosion of mobile broadband traffic following the deployment of HSPA networks. Many service providers are moving to Ethernet-based packet backhaul which offers high data capacity at a low cost per bit. Although hybrid solutions will remain for some years, MPLS offers several choices to service providers in migrating to a pure packet-based backhaul network.
· What are the existing problems?
· What are the major considerations while planning?
· Strategy towards readiness for invest all

Cloud services: The role of end-to-end packet transport networks
The rapid growth of broadband intensive applications such as cloud computing is encouraging service providers to increase network capacity and introduce next generation long distance transport products. How can end-to-end packet transport networks deliver the QoS and security requirements demanded by cloud services?

Managed bandwidth services and SLAs supported by packet transport
Managed bandwidth services require customer and operator networks to be interconnected yet managed as independent entities. But managing bandwidth and meeting service level agreements requires end-to-end capability and control. What new services and SLAs are enabled through the deployment of end-to-end packet transport networks?

Improving QoE with all-packet
Improved customer management tools can enhance the customer quality of experience over all-packet networks. How should traffic flows be managed to optimise the end user experience? What new opportunities are enabled in BSS and OSS with all-packet transport networks?

Challenges in delivering multi-platform wireless technologies
The demand for wireless data grows exponentially and we expect mobile data traffic will double-up yearly in the coming ten years. Facing the 1000 times of existing traffic volume down the road, the challenge ahead is not just preparing a brilliant capacity expansion plan, but driving a revolution to the whole wireless data industry. On one side, PCCW is finding ways to sustain the business growth and win the competition; while on the other side, the company’s End-to-End packet network is facing data tsunami everyday. End-to-End fully integrated Fixed-Wireless network will be one of the possible outcomes and what other options are available.

Traffic management requirements and constraints: Privacy challenges
Increasing bandwidth capacity on a network does not solve congestion problems. On the contrary, experience shows that growth in traffic inevitably outpaces growth in bandwidth. Bandwidth begets congestion. Managing that congestion is the key issue. But traffic management techniques such as deep packet inspection raise sensitive competition and privacy issues.

Interconnect principles in the NGN
Moving from a voice-centric to a data-centric environment has significant implications for interconnect; introducing new dimensions and complexities that not only impact billing and charging regimes but also challenge competition requirements. What interconnect principles might be applied to the NGN and how might these affect future packet networks?

Practical Convergence: Unified interconnects and session routing
· The compelling business case for converting TDM interconnects to SIP
· How mobile operators are as well suited if not more so for the cost savings of SIP interconnects
· How SIP session routing reduces OpEx and eases transition for converging networks
· How does this all fit into a 2020 network plan?

Exploring the “green” benefits of all-packet networks
What benefits do packet transport networks deliver in the reduction of energy costs? How energy efficient can they be? Are they truly a ‘green’ solution?
