Can Microseconds Cost You Millions? Or Worse – Your Reputation! 

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Have you ever asked yourself: “Is network latency the reason I can't win online gaming, or stream quality 4K video content?” Watch this presentation to learn which new applications requiring ultra-low latency are being impacted and, surprisingly, which ones are not. More importantly, learn how network operators and financial institutions can mitigate the effects of latency through network design, placement of edge data centers, and new developments in fiber optic cabling technologies.

This class was originally presented at the BICSI 2022 Winter Conference.
