THE TOPIC
Fiber 101 Presentation will focus on: With increasing need form technology for telecommunication networks bandwidth capacity and the ever changing applicationsand infrastructure requirements, it is becoming more imperative to design and implement a network infrastructure which provide cost effective installations as well asfuture proofing. New Fiber To The Edge (FTTE) technologies, provide bandwidth and power to edge devices allowing the network to be as future-flexible as possibleand realize significant CAPEX and OPEX cost savings over traditional copper technologies. With all of these growing network demands, connectivity is now the 4th utility; and as such, network design and implementation has to be thought in a more modern way and should be designed around your building, not your buildingaround your network.
The Fiber Deep/Power Deep (FTTE) technology allows you to extend well past traditional 90 meter limitations and solve for multiple applicationswith one unified infrastructure. A fiber deep solution also eliminates the need for disruptive and costly rip-and-replace traditional infrastructures. In addition toinfrastructure, FTTE solution can solve for both IP and RF connectivity, thus providing more cost savins and future proving of infrastructure for all voice, video, anddata networks to meet current and future technology needs.
THE SPEAKER
Juan-Carlos Gaillard graduated in June 1993 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from Florida Tech (Florida Institute of Technology). Hestarted his career with Corning as a Field Engineer in June 1997 and performed that duty through February 2000. He transitioned to a Systems Engineering role inMarch 2000 and performed that duty through March 2003. He then took the role of Senior Systems Engineer / Senior FTTX System Designer in March 2003 throughSeptember 2005. In September 2005 he became the Private Networks Sales Engineer for the Rocky Mountain territory, covering the states of CO, UT, WY, MT andID. Then in Dec 2010 he transitioned to being a Sr. Private Networks Sales Engineer for Southern VA out of Richmond and currently is in this role. In his role heutilizes technical/engineering, sales, and marketing background to grow Corning’s market share. He mainly supports customers with fiber network designrecommendations, fiber optic BOM developments, fiber installation advise, fiber product knowledge and technology trainings, and overall partner and customersupport for the design and implantation of Voice, Video, and Data Fiber Optic Networks.
