• The importance of decentralising core network functions to remote sites to enable IP optimisation techniques.
Regional issues across Asia, Africa and South America, such as licence obligations, VSAT footprint and the need for mesh or multi-star solutions will also be addressed by the Altobridge presentation and the wider panel discussion. This session will take place between 1015am and 1130am on Wednesday 17 March.
