Accommodation

SubOptic has negotiated a special discounted room rate with the Marriott Rive Gauche Hotel for conference registrants of 206.90 Euro (including breakfast and wifi access). This rate will be available for the weekend before and after the conference subject to availability.

The conference will start on April 23rd, 2013 and last three days. It will be preceded by a series of master-class tutorials which will be held on April 22nd, 2013.

It is the one event that encourages all people from the industry and community to get together and discuss issues that are critical to our business as demonstrated by the more than 160 abstracts submitted in response to our Call for Papers.

Our last conference SubOptic 2010 in Yokohama attracted more than 700 attendees from over 230 companies and our conference remains the only event organised by the industry for the industry on a non-profit making basis. It provides a meeting place for all strands of interest in the Undersea Optical Fibre Communications business.

Conference Theme

The theme for SubOptic 2013 is ‘From Ocean to Cloud’ which is intended to cover not only the traditional topics that our regular conference attendees look forward to, but also new areas such as the impact mobile data generated by the smart phones and tablets will have on our networks, to how to achieve value from your investment, operator and service delivery and much more.

The seven topic areas below have been chosen by the SubOptic 2013 Programme Committee, based upon the experience from previous events. Papers for oral and poster presentation in these topic areas will be presented based upon the submissions made.

1. The Market Place

2. Project Development and Implementation

3. Marine Services and Operations

4. Network Architecture and Design

5. Equipment and Component Technologies

6. Network Operations and Carrier Services

7. Special Markets
