The Third Annual Animal Farm is Here!
Motorola Canopy® Technical Users Forum

Jan 14th-16th, 2009
Utah State Fair Park

(Just off North Temple)
Salt Lake City, Utah

Animal Farm is a series of FREE Technical Forums designed by and for
Motorola Canopy Users. Canopy users from varied backgrounds meet &
discuss topics of common interest. This is a user driven event, not a
vendor driven event. Previous meetings have been a huge success, and
we are confident that this year will be even better!

Free Attendee Registration
(This conference is intended for organizations who use or distribute Motorola wireless broadband gear, not for ISP customers.)
This year's keynotes will feature some of Motorola's finest.
Special thanks to Motorola's WiBB Division for allowing them to spend time with us.
Presentation and Lightning talk topics include:
- Motorola WiBB Roadmap (v9, v10, NMS/EMS development)
- Link Planner for Motorola PTP links
- TV Whitespace, 3650, and other goodies
- VoIP, TV, and other Multi-Play Pieces
- Monitoring and Management Using OSS Solutions
- New product and feature announcements (incl. WB's BOSS)
- ...And a few more
Panel topics may include:
- How-We-Do-It: Best Practices
- TVWS, 3650, Other emerging technologies
- Nuts and Bolts: Towers, Solar, Batts, & More
- Homebrew: Should I Make it or Buy it?
- ...Anything else we can come up with...
Breakout Sessions will be organized into two "tracks" geared towards
guys in the field and guys in the back office. The intention is to
eek out as much useful information for the different scenarios that
face each kind of crew, and to make the sessions as "intimate" and
interactive as possible. Each topic will run on both days, two at a
time, for 50 minutes each, in such a way that nobody will miss one.

- Mikrotik Toolbox: L2/L3/MPLS/PPPoE - Gino Villarini, Sterling Jacobsen, David Sovereen, et al.
