Шановні колеги, в період з 15 по 18 жовтня 2012 року в м. Рим (Італія) буде проходити Міжнародний симпозіум "Telecommunications Network Strategy and Planning" - Networks 2012. На симпозіумі будуть обговорюватися існуючі та перспективні технології, методи, стратегії, норми і політики, які використовуються в мережах майбутніх поколінь. Основні проблемні питання включають проектування мереж та методи планування, маршрутизації транспортних потоків, рішення щодо конвергенції проводових та безпроводових інфраструктур і платформ для відео послуг.
