Join us for our rebranded OSS in the Era of SDN & NFV event in London on November 7-8
NEW YORK, NY. , July 03, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Light Reading (www.lightreading.com) is headed to London November 7-8 for Software Defined Operations & the Autonomous Network (https://tmt.knect365.com/software-defined-operations-the-autonomous-network/).
Now in its fifth year, Software Defined Operations & the Autonomous Network, formerly known as OSS in the Era of SDN & NFV, will be taking place at the Montcalm Marble Arch in London on November 7-8. The event has been rebranded to reflect the increasingly software defined nature of all new telecom technology, from networking to operations. Additionally, the event will continue to build on its success as the industry's premier forum for the discussion of the impact of SDN and NFV on network operations.
The event is led by Heavy Reading Principal Analyst James Crawshaw and Light Reading's Editor-in-Chief Ray Le Maistre. Confirmed speakers to date include industry experts from PCCW Global, Telefonica, Telia Carrier and the University of Sussex.
Topics to be discussed on the agenda are:
• Leveraging open source for NFV orchestration maturity, modularity and money
• Service assurance in cloud-native 5G networks
• AI/ML for network automation
• Intent-based networking – separating the hype from reality
• Mobile network automation and self-organizing network

Heavy Reading Senior Analyst James Crawshaw notes, "Over 8 years ago, Marc Andreessen, venture capitalist and co-founder of Netscape, wrote that software is eating the world. Fast forward to today and software has clearly eaten a big chunk of the margins of the telecom industry with messaging apps having killed SMS and now moving on to voice. Vendors too are being disrupted by the softwarization of the industry as networking applications and hardware become decoupled. How best to navigate this industry evolution is the key strategic question of this decade and arguably the next. While we can't promise to provide the answers, we do hope our event will stimulate discussion and provide some food for thought."
