ANIC addresses all relevant research challenges and open research issues for FTTx technologies.
The implementation of FTTx technologies worldwide is establishing substantially increased broadband capabilities in many countries and is bringing these capabilities into the homes of millions. The worldwide FTTx number of users is increasing exponentially and new deployments across the globe are continually being initiated. European, North American, and Asian markets all are expected to be high growth areas and many service providers are investing heavily in the deployment of optical access network technologies. Today, numerous research laboratories and equipment providers are actively engaged in major research projects oriented t solutions for enhanced broadband connectivity through theuse of optics and photonics. This OSA meeting is designed to present many of the latest advances in the development of FTTx technologies ranging from significant advancements in device development to the development of sophisticated algorithms to transmit data, control and monitor the network, and efficiently distribute the signals.
Papers are being considered in the following topic categories:
-
FTTx architectures
- Tradeoffs of passive vs. active network implementation
- Enhancements in passive optical networks
- WDM in the access network
- Single fiber transmission limitations
- Techniques supporting enhanced network scalability
- Techniques supporting 10G per channel solutions
- Optical amplification in the access network
- Colorless ONUs designs
- Monitoring techniques
- Radio backhauling and integration with FTTx
- Impairment compensation techniques
- Modulation formats suited for reflective ONUs
- Free-space optics
