Strong Participation from Telecommunications, Energy, and IT Sectors
The event attracted a remarkably large number of attendees from various sectors – including telecommunications, energy, IT, infrastructure, government institutions, and technical universities. This diversity among participants further confirms the importance of digital transformation and reliable network infrastructure in industries that depend on the accuracy, speed, and security of data transmission. Participation in the seminar was completely free of charge for all registered attendees, encouraging knowledge exchange and making the latest technologies more accessible to the broader professional community.
Key Topics: 5G, Optics, Synchronization, and Cybersecurity
The seminar addressed key challenges and technologies shaping modern communications and power networks. Attendees had the opportunity to learn about the latest advancements in optical and transport networks, fiber sensing-based network management, and automated testing of higher network layers. Solutions for testing and monitoring 100G, 400G, and 800G high-speed networks were presented, along with tools for optimizing and verifying the performance of 4G and 5G mobile networks.
Special emphasis was placed on network security and real-time traffic visibility, through solutions that enable proactive protection and efficient analytics in the age of artificial intelligence. Topics related to network synchronization were also of great importance, especially in the context of telecom and energy networks that require precise and reliable timing coordination.
Speakers from International Companies and Local Experts
The seminar featured presentations from experts representing leading international companies – Viavi Solutions, Keysight Technologies, and Wavecontrol – as well as professionals from Ibis Instruments. Genis Sanchez and Stefano Di Stasio from Viavi Solutions presented solutions in the fields of optical networks, 5G, and enterprise network security. Anderson Pereira from Keysight spoke about network visibility, integrated software solutions, and cyber resilience testing methodologies. Christophe Capitaine from Wavecontrol presented standards and methods for measuring electromagnetic field exposure and safety. The Ibis Instruments team, led by Darko Lekić and Ervis Ciku, focused on local market development, optical technologies, and complex testing scenarios.
Demo Sessions and Networking: Technology in Practice
In addition to the presentations, the seminar included technical demonstrations, allowing participants to interact directly with the equipment and software featured during the sessions.
