Tackling Cybersecurity on a Constrained Budget - Business Focus
Dealing with cybersecurity is a challenge for ISPs of all sizes, but can be particular difficult for SMMEs operating on a limited budget. This presentation will cover some options and ideas for tackling security issues with limited resources.
A Guide to Open PON Environment
Many ISPs operate in an environment where OLT manufacturers restrict the use of third-party ONTs, creating costly and inflexible vendor lock-in. This presentation explores how operators can break free from those constraints using multi-vendor HALNy Networks terminals powered by an innovative Adaptive OMCI Stack — a plug-and-play solution that allows ONTs to automatically discover and adapt to a wide range of OLTs (including Huawei, ZTE, and Nokia) without firmware changes.
gNMIc — On Your Marks, GET / SET / Subscribe / Collect
Modern network operations demand a shift from periodic polling to real-time, streaming observability. This talk introduces gNMIc — a modern, highly scalable gRPC Network Management Interface collector with full gNMI protocol support for streaming telemetry. The session covers how gNMIc can be deployed to deliver continuous visibility into network state, enabling operators to move beyond traditional SNMP-based monitoring toward a more responsive, data-rich operational model.
