A small step
towards big networks
17 October 2023 | A conference for telecom and data centre specialists.
Brace up for cosmic speeds.
The network industry is reaching out into space, but before satellite telecommunications become common, fibre-optic systems still have a lot to offer. What’s our priority today? Not just greater data capacities, but also energy savings. These issues will be in the spotlight during the 16th Days of Light conference. We will discuss network technologies and business problems in the context of the market, and analyse current industry challenges in a panel discussion with experts representing the largest telecom operators and data centres.
Explore the potential of your network.
Meet telecom industry experts and managers. Expand your horizons to meet the challenges your networks are likely to face in the future. The 16th Days of Light conference is a meeting for all professionals fascinated by new telecom technologies and their possible business applications – a great opportunity to exchange ideas and learn about new industry developments.
#Networking
Networks all the way to the horizon.
Join the 16th Days of Light to meet our telecom and data centre specialists: network engineers, network admins, planners, technical directors and decision-makers. Weigh in during a panel debate among experts from the largest data centres and telecom operators. Travel to the farthest ends of the network!
#Network technologies
A galaxy of effective solutions
Find out how to use advanced technologies in practice to multiply the potential of your infrastructure. We will introduce you to safe and effective optical transmission solutions, as well as LAN and Wi-Fi networks, and throw in useful examples of good practices, frequent challenges and inspiring case studies.
#Afterparty
Fly into outer space!
The first manned flight to the moon in more than half a century is scheduled to take off in November 2024. Before it does, the latest technologies will give us a chance to feel like part of the crew and live through an inspiring interplanetary experience at the 16th Days of Light. Relax in space and have fun!

Touch and try out all the new technologies we talk about at our network equipment booths during coffee breaks.
experts
We know a lot about networks and love talking about them, but we are also good listeners. We are at your service during 16th Days of Light!. Ask us anything – we’re waiting for you :)
networking
At the core of any conference are the people who attend it, including its speakers and visitors. The Days of Light always attract outstanding network experts. Join us and expand your professional network!
Business and technology
Content has always been our strongest suit. We will talk about optical systems, including the IpoDWDM technology and the O-Band, and how to optimise transmission cost and energy. LAN topics will take us closer to issues such as Managed Wi-Fi, Cloud Management and how to deploy new equipment in the network.
Knowledge you can apply in business.
AGENDA XVI DNI ŚWIATŁA
What to choose: CWDM, DWDM, or O-Band? Requirements, design, construction, launch. Transmission networks are not rocket science! Small rockets can take single, light satellites to low orbits. Large rockets can tackle greater quantities, weights and distances. Everything depends on your system requirements and economic resources. This analogy applies perfectly to building optical transmission systems based on wave multiplexing. Our space engineers, or rather wavelength engineers, will tell you which technology, CWDM, DWDM, or O-Band, will get you the best results for which edge conditions.
Does it feel like the powers are not on your side? Do you regularly lose sleep over growing energy demand in your server rooms? Do you feel anxious or insecure because of new climate regulations? We will help you fly over to the light side! You will see examples of gradual and revolutionary solutions to cut your energy costs with GBC Photonic’s optical modules.
What is the behaviour of business clients like today? What are the current trends in the market and how to tap them to target end clients? Operator branding in a “private cloud” is a way to build your image, boost brand awareness, and consolidate services.
After five years and four GBC Photonics SRD generations, the time has come to launch the latest, fifth version of the SRD rocket. Expect some revolutionary updates! The environment will now be much easier to use, supporting next-generation modules and full system mobility. The new version was created in cooperation with young designers and UX specialists. Find out why SRD is at the very core of the true, universal optical module brought to you by GBC Photonics.
Why test new equipment at all? New device series and models keep up with user expectations and open up new opportunities. Choosing from a greater range of options can help improve your TCO (Total Cost of Ownership). What challenges do operators face when testing new devices? How can we address them? How can we help operators boost testing effectiveness?
Every year, the market expects faster and faster fibre-optic connections with greater capacities. Let us go on a journey of discovery to learn about transmission technologies that give us not gigabytes but terabytes of capacity over a single optical path, over a distance of not hundreds but thousands of kilometres. Not unlike the New Space industry, we, too, are getting ready to fly to the moon: we will soon be able to transmit tera- and even petabytes of data!
How to target Managed WiFi services at the HoReCa sector? What are the benefits for owners and operators, as compared to purchasing and managing their own equipment? We will discuss an example topology of a Managed WiFi solution in an operator’s network and its application in the financial sector.
