Welcome speech from the organizers and partners.

Panel discussion: “Network resilience during the war: stronger decentralization and new requirements for network architecture”

Market experts and representatives of state authorities will discuss:

- Resilience of electronic communications during the war: why this is a top priority today for the state and for every provider of electronic communications networks and services.

- Network decentralization: how to reduce dependence on key concentration points and keep networks running if individual infrastructure elements are lost.

- The new architecture of a resilient network: geographic separation of technical sites, redundancy, alternative routes and traffic exchange points.

- New NCU resilience requirements: which additional measures are being drafted and what changes the market should prepare for.

- Resilience in practice: what operators can do right now, which solutions need time and investment, and where state support is required.

- Cooperation between the state and the market: how to shape realistic requirements that genuinely improve network resilience and account for the differing architectures and scale of operators.

Natalka - the CGNAT we have been missing

CGNAT has long been an integral part of a modern provider’s infrastructure. At the same time, it is often exactly what turns into the bottleneck or the single point of failure of the network.

This is the first public presentation of Natalka — a new Ukrainian brand of high-performance network solutions. It introduces a modern CGNAT platform for medium and large providers and operators, built as a full-fledged alternative to the world’s leading solutions with no compromises in performance, functionality or reliability.

The platform is designed for 100G+ networks, combining high performance, modern architecture and fault tolerance.

Speaker:

Vadym ALIMOV, founder of the Natalka project.

The subscriber is not the first to know: how Grusher predicts failures in a telecom network

Classic monitoring registers a problem once it has already happened. Grusher uses ML to analyze the dynamics of network parameters and to detect signs of degradation before the service is lost.

The talk will walk through real scenarios of failure prediction and present Grusher 2.8 - a new version of the modern free Ukrainian solution for monitoring and managing a telecom network. The main focus is on powerful and convenient visualization tools: from fibre-optic lines, splice closures and splices on an interactive map to switching diagrams, building cards, heat maps and analytical maps. Everything you need to see the network as a whole, find problems faster and make decisions.

Speaker:

Vitalii TKACH, author of the Grusher software; Full Stack Developer, DevOps Engineer at BKM LLC; senior lecturer at the Department of Science and Mathematics Education and Technologies, Kyiv Regional Institute of Postgraduate Education of Teachers (KOIPOPK).
