50 Gbit/s Passive Optical Network (50G-PON): Standards Progress and Applications in 5G
23 March 2021
Eastern Time (US & Canada) (UTC -05:00)
This webinar will introduce the ITU standardization effort on 50 Gbit/s Passive Optical Network (50G-PON). The ITU project G.hsp will be reviewed and the standards development status will be updated. The webinar will focus on the 50G-PON system requirements and accepted solutions. Applications in 5G will be analyzed to highlight 50G-PON features. Recent industry test results will be reported, and challenges will be summarized to encourage joint research in this area.
This program is cosponsored with the Optical Communications Technical Group. 
About Our Speaker: Yuanqiu Luo, FutureWei Technologies
Yuanqiu Luo is currently a Director of Optical Access Standards at the Standardization & Industry Department of Futurewei Technologies, USA. Before joining Futurewei, she was with NEC Laboratories America, Princeton, NJ. She received the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the New Jersey Institute of Technology, Newark.
Dr. Luo has been heavily involved in the R&D effort of optical access networks for more than 15 years.
