Engineering the Future: Designing and Operating Carrier-Grade Networks at Scale

How carrier‑grade networks are designed, operated, and evolved at scale

Vic Chen
Principal Network Automation Engineer @ 2 Degrees

Join us for an evening with a Principal Network Engineer at 2degrees, who will share real-world insights into how carrier‑grade networks are designed, operated, and evolved at scale.

🚀 Are You Still Managing Networks the Traditional Way?

In the age of automation, the telecommunications industry is no longer just looking for people who operate networks.
It is looking for engineers who understand both networking and coding. From today’s job descriptions, one thing is very clear: automation is no longer optional—it’s the future.
This shift is also creating new opportunities for software engineers, as telecom networks become more programmable and system‑driven.
We’re excited to invite you to a technical talk with a local industry leader.

📚 What Will We Cover?

The session will focus on practical experience operating large-scale telecommunications networks, and how automation and AI are changing the way networks are built and run.

By the end of the session, you will:
🔹 Understand Carrier Network Architecture
Get a high-level view of the modern core network — how traffic goes from your home to the rest of the world.
🔹 Learn Network Automation in Practice
See how automation, monitoring, and configuration deployment are used in real production networks.
🔹 Explore AI in Telecom Operations
Understand where AI is being applied today in telco networks and how it can help with operations and decision-making.

👥 Who Should Attend?
Whether you’re a network engineer, software developer, or AI enthusiast, this talk will help you understand how modern telecom networks are evolving and what skills matter going forward.
