Wavelengths EMEA-LAT

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.

The rise of Artificial Intelligence and the increasing importance of data sovereignty are creating unique opportunities for Nokia partners to grow optical business in 2026 and beyond. In the evolving, and less secure, macro environment, we are increasingly seeing enterprises in all regions reevaluating their data centre, cloud and infrastructure strategies, with their data centre interconnect (DCI) needs also evolving, to better serve their changing business requirements. This seminar, aimed exclusively at Nokia Partner attendees active in the optical networking space, will cover the market drivers, key applications and differentiated solutions. We’ll also introduce the Nokia partner initiatives and tools that are enabling our partners to capture these emerging DCI opportunities and win together 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.

Enjoy lunch at Buffet Madrid, then head to the exhibition area for coffee and desserts, explore the demos, and recharge for an action-packed afternoon of sessions.

After a warm welcome, we will explore how advanced connectivity and AI are shaping the future of networks. We'll hear from Telegeography, Nokia and two network operators as we  discuss the challenges and opportunities facing telecom providers in the era of AI. We'll also 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.

In the telecom provider track we will discuss the latest developments at the network edge, dive deeper into subsea networks and unlock details of AI for network automation and uses cases to help operators streamline their operations. Telecom operators will share recent business evolutions and how they are tackling AI-era challenges. 

In the enterprise track, Nokia partners and enterprises will present their most compelling challenges, opportunities and success stories. In highly interactive sessions, we’ll discuss what’s working, what’s not and what’s top of mind for enterprise networks. As we close the day, we’ll look into the future and explore new trends and technologies like hollow core fiber. 

Join us back in the auditorium for our closing plenary sessions, followed by the attendee prize drawing.

Come join us for a fun-filled evening packed with great food, awesome entertainment, and good vibes all around!

La Quinta de Jarama is an elegant and exclusive event estate. The architectural and garden design has strong Spanish–Arab influences, reflected in its patios, arched glass halls, courtyards, and greenery.

With many different areas to explore, this transformative space is prefect to unwind and reconnect with your peers after a full day of sessions.  Join us for an evening that promises to be full of camaraderie, laughter, and memorable moments.

Day 3 is all about enhancing your knowledge in optical networks, discovering more about autonomous optical networks, network synchronization, and network diagnostic and technologies with deep dive sessions from the experts.
