By examining the range of technology alternatives available to service providers, the Broadband World Forum Europe 2004 provides a unique venue in which to evaluate strategy and make informed decisions.
Officially sponsored by Telecom Italia, the World Forum will bring together executives within carrier and supplier companies throughout Europe, North America, and Asia. The program will help incumbent and emerging network operators meet the challenges of deploying broadband services effectively and profitably.
Overall Conference Chairperson
Stefano Pileri
Executive Vice President
Telecom Italia
Session topics will include the following:
* Video Solutions over Broadband: Architectures and Business Drivers
* Differentiated Broadband Services for SMEs
* Home Network Platforms and Technologies
* Advances in DSL: The State of Enabling Technologies

A scientific conference dedicated to the diffusion of information on all aspects of satellite communications at 20-30 GHz and higher frequencies.
Conceived in 1993, it was intended to publicize the achievements of the recently launched Italsat and ACTS satellites, which pioneered the use of the Ka-Band frequency, but received little attention because this frequency suffers from signal attenuation due to rain.
Italsat and ACTS were planned to open this frequency for use in satellite communications in order to provide additional spectrum in anticipation of the saturation of the available orbital slots at C and Ku-Band.
Both satellites have demonstrated the usefulness of Ka-Band through novel system approaches including digital communications, on demand rain compensation, hopping spot beams, on board switching, integrated services, and demand-assigned channels of varying bandwidth to suit user needs. The programs also developed flight and ground components as needed to stimulate the use of this new frequency band, and a wealth of information about Ka-Band propagation characteristics in Europe and the United States.
The conference, held annually under the auspices of ASI, CRC, CRL, ESA, the Italian PTT, NASA, and NASDA and with the support of several communications satellite manufacturers and service providers from around the world, is organized and managed by the IIC - Istituto Internazionale delle Comunicazioni Genova, Italy.
