letter from tia PresidentDear TIA Members and Industry Colleagues:

Your role in the future of the Network is critical — as this year’s highly interactive TIA event will highlight. I invite you to attend a conference like no other – designed for decision-making, creativity, and active participation.

with intensive discussions and visionary keynoters, the conference will set the stage for understanding – and taking advantage of – the disruptive forces driving the network and the future value chain.

our goal this year is to enable the community of technology, policy, marketing and business professionals to come together to interact, converse, and arrive at action steps that lead the way forward. To accomplish this, we’ve assembled more than 250 top-level speakers from the ICT industry, government, healthcare and educa-tion. Their mission, and TIA’s, is to explore such questions as:

▶ how can service providers evolve their business models and their networks to satisfy growing demand for high-bandwidth content, universal connectivity, oTT and advanced services?

▶ In a network increasingly defined by software platforms and services enabled by these platforms, what creative relationships and technology solutions will allow companies to thrive?

▶ The value chain is continuously evolving, affected by economics, geography, competition, innovation, government policies and disruption in the marketplace – what and where are the key opportunities that will keep you ahead of this game?

Interactivity is the driving force in an all-Internet world. TIA’s Conference will reflect that with an interactive, multi-media experience – using video, instant polling, social media and, of course, in-person conversa-

tions. And, in fact, the discussion has already begun: right now you have an excellent preview into Conference direction with the TIA Now “future of the Network” documentary series. The first episodes, on Mobility & Broadband Capacity and M2M, are posted at www.tianow.org, and the final segments on Software Defined Networks and Cloud will air before october.

I encourage you to join us in october for a conference that will feature extensive events, demonstrations and content from TIA, and from our host Sponsor GeNBAND, Industry Sponsors ADTrAN, Alcatel-Lucent, Ascom, AT&T, Cisco, Dell, ericsson, fujitsu, Goodman Networks, henkels & McCoy, ILS Technology, Integra Networks, Intel, Juniper Networks, McAfee, NSN, Panasonic, Sumitomo electric Lightwave, Te Connectivity, Tellabs, Telmar, Verizon, walker and Associates, and ZTe and from the many leaders, analysts, policymakers and technologists who will play an integral role in the program.

The Gaylord National harbor is a great location for a conference, and we are looking forward to seeing you there in october!

After mingling in the Solutions Zone reception, make it a point to attend the annual VIP Dinner. Presentations from our keynote speakers focus on future plans for Small Cell Networks and the rollout of Sprint’s all-new network as well as what’s next for Sprint.

A New Vision for Small Cell Networks – Creating a Wireless Broadband User Experiencefor years, small cells have been used for coverage. however, explosive demand for wireless broadband net-works requires a new breed of small cells. In this keynote, Alcatel-Lucent President of North America Sales Charles Marsh discusses a bold new vision for small cells — a transformative move away from simple access points to a next generation, all-IP small cells network offering ultra high speed backhaul and ad-vanced capabilities such as proximity-based services.

Delivering a Next-generation NetworkNetwork Vision is Sprint’s bold plan to consolidate multi-ple network technologies into a single, seamless network that increases efficiency and enhances network coverage, call quality and data speeds for its customers. Senior Vice President of Sprint’s Network Bob Azzi will update attend-ees on the rollout of its all-new network, and share what’s next for Sprint.

TRACk 1Mobility & BroadbandTRACK ChAIR: Mark Lowenstein, Managing Director, Mobile Ecosystem

Networks are already overburdened, and the pace of demand by consum-ers, enterprise and government is ex-ponentially exploding as a result of mobile devices, BYoD, video content and enterprise Cloud adoption.

Technology innovations and policy solutions are only partially address-ing the problem. Business models are shifting, and the winners are those that are agile in responding to customer needs.

TIA 2013 will offer new insight on how service providers and equip-ment suppliers can monetize their investments in networks and drive down costs as well as explore chang-es in the supply chain and more.

TRACk 2customer experience ManagementTRACK ChAIR: Susan Schramm, Head of Global Marketing, NSNTRACK CO-ChAIR: Sheryl kingstone, Director, Enterprise Research, Yankee Group

In the fast-paced technology arena, business models, supply chains and ecosystems are rapidly transform-ing themselves. from the customer point of view, the underlying chang-es don’t matter.

whether addressing consumers, enterprise or government customers, challenges span from the acquisi-tion of adequately tested services, to managing upgrades and security, to enabling and ensuring speedy deployment and adoption. The ques-tions of who provides the services, how to ensure end-to-end interoper-ability and integration, and how to ensure the customer is well served can be daunting on both the custom-er and the provider side. Custom-ers ultimately determine who their providers will be, based on Quality of experience.

TIA 2013 focuses on ways that stra-tegic Customer experience Manage-ment enhances opportunities for new market access and revenues.

TRACk 3M2M and the internet of thingsTRACK CO-ChAIRS:Robin Duke-Woolley, Founder and CEO, Beecham ResearchJames Brehm, Senior Strategist, Mobility and the Unwired Experience, Compass Intelligence Sam Lucero, Senior Principal Analyst, M2M & Connected Devices, IHS Global

The numbers are staggering. Are there millions, billions, or tens of billions of connected devices in our near future? will the resulting efficiencies, and new product and service growth add the

equivalent of an entire new u.S. economy to global GDP?

The hype around Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and the Internet of Things is anything but new. If the promise is there, what’s holding us back? And how important is M2M to the future of the ICT industry, and the world at large?

TIA 2013 will offer new insight on the future of M2M and how to get there. Prepare to be an active contributor to the conversation, as we discuss the issues surrounding M2M and seek to answer these important questions in the most interactive M2M event you’ve ever attended.

TRACk 4cloud & data centersTRACK ChAIR: Jonathan king, VP, Strategy & Business Development, SAVVIS CenturyLink

As more content migrates to the Cloud, complexity of services to cus-tomers is magnified. organizations, from government to education to healthcare to businesses both large and small are struggling to block network intrusions while adopting new policies such as BYoD in the workplace. The adoption of Cloud services such as Big Data, as yet in its infancy, places ever-increasing demands on bandwidth and timely, reliable content delivery.

Workshop (p. 16)

The role of the data center in managing, hosting and deliver-ing Cloud services is pivotal. Bandwidth

capacity, migration of speeds from 10 Gb/s

to 40 Gb/s, 100 Gb/s and be-yond, and the optical fiber infrastruc-ture are critical for meeting demand for reliability, performance, scalabil-ity, cost-effectiveness and time to restoration. Studies assert that the physical layer accounts for 60-80% of network downtime, elevating it to mission critical status.

TIA 2013 examines the evolving standards, technologies, policies and market potential for Cloud solutions, architectures, and business practices as well as data center trends.

TRACk 5sustainability & ictTRACK ChAIR: Thierry klein, Head, Green Research, Bell Labs, Alcatel-Lucent TRACK CO-ChAIR: Paul hagen, Principal, Beveridge & Diamond

The ICT sector has a critical role in enabling savings by driving down the cost of energy in all sectors. Technol-ogy advances in energy efficient data centers, smart buildings, Smart Grid, refurbished legacy network equip-ment, and virtualization are reshap-ing strategic direction not only for the ICT industry but for its customers.

for operators, the ability to reduce CAPeX in building new networks may hinge on sustainable choices. TIA 2013 will explore the opportunities to capture market share in the business of sustainable networks.

for equipment suppliers, their ability to reach markets also hinges on con-forming to global, regional, country and even municipal environmental

regulations. The Sustainability Track includes a Special workshop on en-vironmental regulations and Product Stewardship, bringing attendees up to date on the current state as well as future concerns affecting their go-to-market strategies.

Media and the networkTuesday, October 8: 8:30 am – 10:25 am NOTE: Complimentary breakfast Tuesday at 7:30 am is included for Workshop Attendees

from over-the-top video to

streaming music to cloud gaming, media providers and consumers today increasingly depend on the network to deliver and access content. As that reliance grows, issues of network capacity, reliability and latency are increasingly critical both to the user experience and to content monetization strategies.

for operators, streaming media, partic-ularly video, is already the fastest grow-ing category of traffic and the network. And that growth is likely to accelerate over the next five years as consum-ers and content providers look to the network to support scalable, real-time web broadcasts, virtual pay-TV services, 4k video, targeted, real-time ad inser-tion, and other advanced capabilities. To deliver those capabilities, operators will need careful planning to match the capital investment required with the real growth in demand.

This workshop, presented by GigaoM research, will provide insights into the future evolution of media distribution and consumption, the demands it will place on the network, and its implica-tions for network operators. Attendees will hear from leading media compa-nies and content service providers about the outlook for their businesses over the next five years, the perfor-mance they’re expecting from the network, and the business models they

hope to implement.

The workshop will also present research on topics such as media traffic growth, the impact of network performance on user behavior, and other critical issues. Attendees will also hear from leading network operators about how they’re coping with the challenges of increas-ing media traffic today and how they’re planning for the future.

Johnson, FirstNet, harris Corporation, Motorola SolutionsThe deployment of a new nationwide public safety broadband network to help police, firefighters, emergency medical professionals and other public safety officials do their jobs more effectively has people abuzz with questions:

▸ what is it? what will technology bring us?

▸ what are the public safety chal-lenges?

▸ Transition to and co-existence with existing systems

▸ how is the funding going to be used? ▸ who will provide the services? will

there be an rfP process? ▸ how will it affect existing regional

networks? ▸ how will interoperable standards

be deployed? whose standards? ▸ how long will it take to get it opera-

tional, and will the plan be flexible enough to adapt to the fast-moving changes in technology?

Come to this workshop to obtain a well-rounded view of the comprehen-sive picture of public safety commu-nications, including the state of the practice on public safety technology standards and the latest details on firstNet. You’ll learn about:

▸ The background explaining how we got here today and where the technology is taking us

▸ The P25 suite of standards for digi-tal radio communications in use by federal, state and local public safety agencies in North America enabling them to communicate with other agencies and response teams in emergencies

▸ The european Terrestrial Trunked radio (TeTrA) protocol

▸ Interoperability and technical chal-lenges and solutions

▸ The business opportunities for industry suppliers and service providers

▸ The policy barriers and issues that need to be addressed

▸ how to approach cross-regional collaboration

cybersecurity: securing the networkMonday, October 7: 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm Moderator: Andy Jaquith, CTO & SVP Cloud Strategy, SilverskyJon Boyens, Senior Advisor for Information Security, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), U.S. Department of CommercePaige Atkins, VP, Cyber / IT Research, Virginia Tech Applied Research Corporationkarin Shopen-Bar, Director Product Marketing, Data Center and Service Provider Security, Juniper Networks Dennis Murphy, Senior Analyst, Aerospace and Defense, Janes/IHS

The increased integration of informa-tion and communications technol-ogy (ICT) into the daily activities of industries, governments, families and consumers has been a ma-jor driver of economic growth and productivity. Cyberspace has created unprecedented opportunity for busi-ness – and also for “the bad guys.”

Protecting critical infrastructure (80-90% of which is privately owned) against cyber threats, and address-ing vulnerabilities in the global ICT supply chain are top of mind for both the ICT industry and govern-ment policymakers.

Significant investments in security from both operators and ICT ven-dors, strong network management, implementation of best practices and techniques, and voluntary coordination are all essential com-ponents of the ecosystem that has protected critical infrastructure from significant attacks.

At the same time, the global nature of the ICT market and the supply chain for products and services requires a global approach based on industry-driven adoption of best practices and global stan-dards.

Join this workshop for a network-oriented view of the current state of cybersecurity, the challenges and business opportunities, the regulatory environment (including the NIST Cybersecurity frame-work), and important initia-tives that affect the entire ICT industry.
