WDM technology goes all the way to the end-user
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Las Vegas, September 9 2010 - This Sunday, the WDM-PON forum organizes the
first-ever workshop dedicated to the use of multiple colors of light in
fiber-optic communication networks targeting end-users. Many leading industry
and academic professionals will contribute to the workshop. The usage of
multiple colors, referred to as wavelength division multiplexing or WDM, will
enable significantly higher bandwidth, more flexibility and lower cost.
Modern-day communication networks are based on fiber-optic cables that transmit
light. More and more, these networks are closing the last mile to each and every
home and business to enable higher bandwidths and more communication services.
Commonly referred to as fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) or fiber-to-the-business
(FTTB), such networks enable the final step towards a real information society,
where information and communication are key to obtaining and maintaining high
standards of living and working.
"The use of multiple colors of light creates a new dimension in fiber-optic
networks, " says Bernd Hesse from LG-Ericsson and co-founder of the WDM-PON
forum. "This so-called WDM technology has made breakthroughs in long distance
communication, and now it is time for such breakthroughs in fiber-to-the-home.
The WDM-PON workshop has attracted an extremely interested audience from leading
telecommunication companies. It seems everyone is ready to capitalize on the
possibilities that this new technology provides."
The workshop organized at the venue of the FTTH Council Conference in Las Vegas
will feature invited and contributed presentations as well a panel discussion.
"The workshop promises to be very open and interactive," says Stefan Murry from
Applied Optoelectronics, Inc. and co-founder of the WDM-PON forum. "The keynote
will be given by Joe Savage, president of the FTTH Council North America, and we
will have speakers from Cisco, Ericsson, Hitachi, Verizon and other leading
industry players."

About WDM-PON forum
The goal of the WDM-PON forum is to promote the use of multiple colors of light
or wavelengths in communication networks targeting end-users. Such wavelength
division multiplexing (WDM) technologies can provide substantial advantages to
future fiber-optic networks that connect homes and businesses to the worldwide
communication network. The WDM-PON forum endeavors to advance these technologies
as means to provide higher bandwidth, new communication services, lower energy
consumption, and cost-effectiveness to next-generation communication networks.
The WDM-PON forum was founded by individuals from LG-Ericsson, ADVA Optical
Networking, Applied Optoelectronics, Inc., INS Communications and Genexis, and
its members are services providers, equipment suppliers, component vendors and
analysts.
