Engineering and Designing the 21st Century Communications Network 
The Communications Networks track is for anyone participating in the design, construction, management, and operation of communications networks. CATV MSOs operating HFC networks, telecommunications service providers ranging from the largest PTTs and RBOCs to the smallest Rural Telephone Cooperative, Government and Utilities operating fiber networks, and Network Engineering firms will convene to discuss best practices and the latest in emerging technology trends.
The Communications Networks track will offer sessions that examine advances in IT and Network technologies and how they can be used to minimize the costs of network builds, advances made in network management functionality and the necessary communications infrastructure, and success stories involving the application of technology toward achieving savings and efficiencies in engineering processes and operations.
