membership in the FTTH Council Europe. The council works to accelerate
Fiber-To-The-Home (FTTH) adoption by informing European governments, regulators,
operators, utility companies, investors and broadband end users on the benefits
of high-speed fiber connectivity to European households.
ADVA Optical Networking's Jörg-Peter Elbers, vice president, research &
development advanced technology, will be among the speakers at the EPIC
symposium, which is hosted at the FTTH Conference in Lisbon, Portugal, on Feb.
24 and 25. Elbers will speak as part of the FTTH Network Technologies session on
Feb. 24. His presentation will be held from 2.30-2.55 p.m. and will address
WDM-PON
access.
"As an industry organization, the work of the FTTH Council Europe is based on
the support of its members. We therefore welcome ADVA Optical Networking as a
new member of our organization," said Hartwig Tauber, director general of the
FTTH Council Europe. "Our goals are, by 2012, to have encouraged the deployment
of FTTH connectivity to at least one percent of households in at least 15 of the
countries served by the council and to at least 10 percent of households in
eight of those countries. This can happen only with widespread deployment of
high-speed, next-generation fiber access networks."
The FTTH Council Europe's more than 130 member companies strive to illuminate
FTTH's far-reaching benefits for the environment, society and economy. At its
Lisbon conference, for example, the council will explore both FTTH-enhanced
entertainment services (online gaming, broadcast IPTV, high-definition
video-on-demand, etc.) and business applications that would enable more European
citizens to work from home, thus reducing time spent commuting and contributing
to a healthier environment.
"ADVA Optical Networking shares the FTTH Council Europe's vision of a more
sustainable future enabled by Fibre to the Home, with our ubiquitous optical
access using WDM
are already at work with other council members on a business guide designed to
encourage investment in FTTH projects," said Stephan Neidlinger, vice president
application and solution management with ADVA Optical Networking. "We look
forward to our ongoing work with the other industry-leading member companies
toward the FTTH Council Europe's ambitious goals."
