Hello all.
With 10 days to go to the 7th edition of SAFNOG, we are delighted,
and excited, to welcome you all to sunny and vibrant Cape Town,
where we can all see each other after 2 years of social
distancing.
We have put together a very exciting program that covers a number
of new, trending, thoughtful, operational and technical topics
from within our community. Here are some key highlights:
- The arrival of the new Equiano cable
system, and what it means for the region, presented by
Jonathan Davidson, Google.
- A keynote on how value within the
telecommunications space is shifting, and what the modern
telco may need to look like for the future, by Edgar Kasenene,
IDEX.
- A panel on what the ongoing semi conductor
shortages are doing to the industry, represented by vendors,
operators and distributors, and hosted by yours truly.
- The new paradigm in submarine cable
design, using SDM (Spatial Division Multiplexing), presented
by Alan Hollander, Infinera.
- ... and a whole lot more!
