Discover one of the world’s most beautiful cities

The lavish imperial capital built by Peter the Great, the city of the Tsars and the cradle of the Russian Revolution, cultural capital and now Russia’s second largest city, Saint Petersburg is a UNESCO World Heritage Site steeped in more than three centuries of unforgettable history:

• An extraordinary artistic heritage with the legendary Hermitage Museum, one of the world’s most beautiful and well-stocked museums with almost sixty thousand works by masters of the major schools of art...

• An immense 18th century architectural masterpieceThe «Urban Versailles» cherished by the Tsar and Peter the Great, a fervent admirer of the Sun King: The Peter and Paul Fortress, majestic palaces, the sumptuous residences of the Tsars, dachas, luxury hotels with pastel facades, bridges, golden-domed cathedrals and wonderful canals on a par with Venice …

• Major artistic influence acknowledged worldwide, the main exponents of which are the Bolshoi or Mariinsky Theatre ballet companies, the most famous musicians of the century, composers of classical or traditional Russian music

50 talks over two and a half days of conferences

Proceedings:• The event will be attended by the press

• Conferences will be arranged as 20-minute talks (with video projections) followed by a public Q&A session

• Working language: events will be in French or English with simultaneous translation

Devised and organised by ACOME since its inception 26 years ago (1988), the Data & Telecom Networks Symposium is the major biennial Telecom Networks event.

• A packed programme: overviews, a full round-up of techniques and technologies, the experiences of experts and users, prospects, etc. (50 talks over two and a half days) ;

• Attended by all the main players on the French market: a unique context for some exceptional networking

• An international window to gain an insight into developments in Data & Telecom Networks: operators, industrial players, users, economic missions by embassies, site visits ;

• Discovery of an extraordinary culture and heritage ;

• Top-quality service at a 5* hotel, the Corinthia on Nevsky Prospekt, the city’s mythical main artery, lined with palaces, churches and shops ;

• A specifi c cultural programme for travel companions ;

• Possibility of extending the trip after the Symposium, to Moscow or Uzbekistan (Samarkand, etc…).

A MAJOR TELECOMDESTINATION

Russia, a leading Super-Fast Broadband player

• Operators and the Russian government have been deploying high-performance fi xed and mobile networks in recent years ;

• The country has the highest number of houses and buildings with a Super-Fast Broadband connection (FTTH/B: some 20 million in December 2012) ;

• 30% FTTH/B penetration rate (approximately 7.5 million subscribers) ;

• All agglomerations with populations of over 1 million will have been 100% fi bred up within 4 years.

1 2SUPER-FAST BROADBAND IN THE MODERN AGE IN RURAL, SEMI-RURAL AND URBAN AREAS( 2.5 days )

COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS IN BUILDINGS ( one-day session )

Deployment of Super-Fast Broadband in all areas for the general public represents a considerable challenge. The digital arrangements, the deployment programmes, the schedule, funding, how to carry the plan through, how to prevent a digital divide, which solutions should be used (FTTH, broadband upgrades, mobility), the impacts on pick-up and service infrastructures, the players involved, the usages and services, the social and cultural consequences, the impact on job creation, relationships, political communication etc.

A host of topics to be debated over two and a half days.

The challenges of successful development everywhere for everyone• Political will• Digital arrangements and development of territories• Legislation, regulations and regulatory concerns• Involvement of operators• Models for deployment• Financial engineering, models, large-scale borrowing• Dividing up territories into Zones• Coherence and deployment master plans: SCORAN, SDTAN• The digital city of the future• Public initiative: DSP, PPP• Conditions for successful deployment• Complementarity of fi xed and mobile networks (4G, LTE, new

licences)• New uses: cloud computing, e-health, TV3D, etc.• FTTx deployment feedback

Technologies, state of the art and innovation• Fixed and mobile networks• VDSL, broadband upgrades, radio, FTTH, vectoring• Fibre optics, today and tomorrow• P2P and GPON networks• CWDM and DWDM transmission• Network fi ttings: active equipment, cables, connections, etc.• Copper solutions• Wireless solutions• Pool solutions• Rules for installing and managing networks• Standardisation• Innovative technology

Apply to the organisation committee for your talk before Monday 17 November 2013.

Communications systems are becoming the strategic centres of buildings, with many and varied fl ows: communication, heat regulating, energy control, comfort, security, access control. All these parameters mean that buildings cannot be designed today the way they were designed yesterday. How can we take these new requirements on board in residential and tertiary-sector buildings?

ProspectsSmart buildings• Impact of networks on the functioning and performance of buildings• Impact of the obligations of buildings to perform, and of new usages on

networks and their architectures• Developments in the design and operation of buildings, the cradle of

new technologiesCampuses, districts, smart cities• Communications networks and associated usages: video protection,

access control, dynamic display, 4G, etc.• Development of urbanisation: the services/usages expected, impact
