Dr. Stan Lumish to Participate on Two Panels at Light Reading Forum in London on May 15, 2007

MILPITAS, Calif., May 9, 2007 – JDSU, a leading enabler of broadband and optical innovation, today announced that Dr. Stan Lumish, chief technology officer at JDSU, will be speaking at the “Future of Optical” conference at the Marriott Marble Arch Hotel in London next week on May 15, 2007 from 9:00 A.M. to 6:30 P.M. 

The conference was created by telecommunications industry publication Light Reading to serve as an annual forum for exploring the optical networking infrastructure, markets, and technology as they pertain to Europe and to the world.

Dr. Lumish will participate with other industry experts on two panels during the day-long event.   The panels will address critical issues that optical vendors, network equipment manufacturers and network operators face as the rising popularity of on-demand applications continue to drive the need for flexible and high-quality products and services at every stage of network deployment. 

Panel details are as follows:

• 10:45 – 12:00 P.M. - “Building New Business Models With Optical “- Major operators have turned a corner in their planning, as strategies have shifted from cost reduction to new revenue generation.  Optical networking played a critical role in the cost reduction phase of the early decade, and it's also well suited for telecom's new revenue-generation phase.  This panel explores some of the interesting business model options available to telecom providers and the value that optical networking brings to them.
• 3:15 – 4:30 P.M. - “Building the Next-Generation Backbone” - Throughout this decade, the long-haul network has been the bane of the optical industry, as carriers around the world were steeped in overcapacity. But now the long-haul market is back, and backbone vendors are reporting the strongest growth they've seen in years. A new round of spending has begun. What's behind this backbone networking resurgence? This panel explores the key drivers of backbone network growth and explains the key technologies of the next-generation backbone, including 40G and 100G transmission systems, multi-haul, OTN, GMPLS/ASON, and integrated optics.
