Wavelengths APAC

This session provides an overview of modern subsea communication systems and their critical role in global connectivity. It begins with an introduction to submarine networks, highlighting how they enable data transmission at petabit scale and form the backbone of the internet. The discussion then explores the unique challenges of subsea network modelling, explaining how environmental conditions, system constraints, and design considerations differ significantly from terrestrial networks. Building on this foundation, the session presents SLTE (Submarine Line Terminal Equipment) blueprints, showcasing how advanced solutions—such as those from Nokia—can be leveraged to optimize performance and scalability. The session concludes with an interactive Q&A, offering participants the opportunity to clarify concepts and engage in deeper discussion.

The rise of Artificial Intelligence and the growing importance of data sovereignty are creating new opportunities for Nokia partners to expand optical business in 2026 and beyond. This bootcamp is designed to focus on sales activation that helps partners accelerate pipeline creation, strengthens customer engagement, and drives growth in the evolving Data Center Interconnect (DCI) market. As enterprises reassess their data center, cloud, and infrastructure strategies, DCI needs are shifting, creating opportunities for partners to deliver new value. This bootcamp is dedicated to Nokia partners working in optical networking and will cover key market drivers, emerging applications, Nokia solution differentiation and support available via the Nokia partner program. Partners will also receive clear guidance on the technical workshops in the main Wavelengths event to complete the full bootcamp journey and to build both the sales confidence and technical expertise needed to capture new opportunities with Nokia in 2026.

Prepare for the future of network security by joining our seminar on quantum-safe networks, where we’ll explore the transformative impact of quantum computing on telecommunications. Gain a solid understanding of quantum cryptography fundamentals, including key generation, entropy, and encryption, while learning how emerging quantum technologies pose new risks to traditional network security. The seminar will cover key strategies such as Public Key Cryptography (PKC), Pre-Shared Keys (PSK), Quantum-Key Distribution (QKD), and defense-in-depth, offering critical insights into safeguarding telecommunications networks. Additionally, participants will get an overview of the Nokia 1830 Security Management Server (SMS), a crucial enabler of quantum-safe networks, and how it integrates with encryption-capable transponders.

Designed for telecommunications professionals and anyone interested in securing their systems for the future, this seminar is accessible to all, with no advanced expertise required. Attendees will leave with knowledge of crypto-agility, layered protection, and building trust in a quantum-ready world.

Start your journey toward optical network automation with an overview of network automation applications and areas that can benefit from automation.  We'll explore Nokia's optical network automation ecosystem, including WaveSuite applications and custom implementations designed to meet specific customer needs. The framework is built around several key components that support three core automation pillars, defining various categories of use cases. Within these categories, you'll discover real-world examples and learn how to enable them using the appropriate WaveSuite applications.

These use cases include optical network rollouts and transformations, network upgrades, flow-through provisioning, closed-loop operations, spectrum defragmentation, advanced network analysis and diagnostics, bandwidth on demand, calendaring, secure communications, and many others.

This session explores how modern enterprises—particularly in mission-critical sectors like utilities—are evolving their networks to meet increasing demands for reliability, security, and performance. It begins with welcome remarks, setting the stage for a deep dive into specialized solutions designed to support critical infrastructure. The discussion highlights the essential role of precise synchronization in enterprise networks, ensuring seamless operations and service continuity. Real-world success stories illustrate how organizations are achieving tangible business outcomes through advanced networking strategies.

After a full day of sessions, we invite you to join us for our welcome reception in the exhibition.  Explore the many demonstrations prepared for you, forge connections and embrace the spirit of the Wavelengths community.  Join us for an evening filled with great conversations, delicious food, and opportunities to connect with fellow professionals.

After a warm welcome, we will explore how advanced connectivity and AI are shaping the future of networks. We'll learn how optical innovations in subsystems, systems and intelligent automation are enhancing the competitiveness of existing networks and enabling the rapid deployment of new ones.
