• Access and transport networks including Cable/DSL, LTE/5G, wireless, metro ethernet, fibre, segment routing
• Network security
• Software defined networking, network function virtualization and network automation

7. How do I get one of those cool NFH t-shirts?

Each of the NOGs in the region may have a few spare shirts, but the best way to get your hands on one is to watch APNIC’s Twitter and Facebook for competitions around each event. There will be 20 shirts available to win at each event.
