The New York Chapter of the IEEE Communications Society is proud
to announce the Spring Seminar titled:


	Disaster Recovery: Effective Planning and Protection
			   to Prevent Downtime


	    Date:  	May 19, 1994 (Thursday)

	    Time:  	8:30am - 5:00pm

	Location:  	United Engineering Center
			345  East 47th Street
			New York, New York


The strategic importance of the public telephone network cannot be
overemphasized, especially in light of the recent service disruptions:
World Trade Center bombing, Los Angeles earthquake, Midwest floods,
fiber cuts, etc.

This seminar focuses on disaster planning and network survivability--
how best to minimize outage time by protecting against, preparing to
meet and recovering from network disasters.

Attendees will gain a first hand insight from telecommunications
experts who experience the effects from the World Trade Center
bombing as well as hearing from Inter-Exchange Carriers (IECs) and
local exchange carriers on network design alternatives.  The seminar
will cover both building/campus LANs and WANs.
