[rpd] SAFNOG-7: 10 Days to Go! Register Now to Attend

[Mark Tinka]

Hello all.

With 10 days to go to the 7th edition of SAFNOG, we are delighted, and 
excited, to welcome you all to sunny and vibrant Cape Town, where we can 
all see each other after 2 years of social distancing.

We have put together a very exciting program that covers a number of 
new, trending, thoughtful, operational and technical topics from within 
our community. Here are some key highlights:

  * The arrival of the new Equiano cable system, and what it means for
    the region, presented by Jonathan Davidson, Google.

  * A keynote on how value within the telecommunications space is
    shifting, and what the modern telco may need to look like for the
    future, by Edgar Kasenene, IDEX.

  * A panel on what the ongoing semi conductor shortages are doing to
    the industry, represented by vendors, operators and distributors,
    and hosted by yours truly.

  * The new paradigm in submarine cable design, using SDM (Spatial
    Division Multiplexing), presented by Alan Hollander, Infinera.

  * ... and a whole lot more!
