Are you an explorer or a settler? Career strategies in optical networking

With 5G ramping up, enabling groundbreaking services, and opening up business opportunities, it’s a great time to talk about optical fiber networks and recall that they are at the foundation of mobile connectivity. While we mostly use mobile devices to connect to the network, all this data from phone and video calls, streaming, and social media is aggregated at a nearby site and converted to/from optical signals carried over optical fiber. Optical networks ensure efficient transmission of large data volumes with low latency – across a city, a state, a continent, or even an ocean. And as requirements for bandwidth and differentiated services go up, optical networks continue to evolve. In this webinar, Teresa Monteiro will discuss current challenges in optical networking and the diversity of skills and profiles required to advance this domain. She will also share aspects of her own career, which started in high-energy physics and evolved to optical system engineering, product management, and solution marketing and communications. There have been times in Teresa’s career when she settled and other times when she laced up the hiking boots to explore. What will your journey be like?
