Middle-mile networks span from tens to several thousand kilometers and provide connectivity between last-mile access networks such as FTTH and mobile base stations and the core services and applications. The middle mile is essential for all operators looking to support new services. This can be both Service Providers delivering new revenue-generating services, or Network Operators delivering mission and business-critical services.

This webinar examines the service requirements that drive the new middle mile and the technologies that are required to build a new, service-aware middle mile able to meet these requirements.

Key learnings:
· The relationship between service performance and middle-mile architecture
· How a vast array of different service performance needs can be delivered on a single network using a suite of service-aware IP Optical technologies.
· A practical approach to building a service-aware middle mile
