Optical Access Networks for Future Broadband Services

Invited Talk: Optical Access Networks for Future Broadband Services

Dr. Jun Shan Wey

Verizon, Fellow of Optica

About the Talk

Optical access networks play a crucial role enabling broadband services, e.g., fiber-to-the-x. As 5G wireless network deployments are well underway and 3GPP has begun its planning of Release-19 standards, optical access networks are becoming increasingly important in providing the underlying transport infrastructure.

This talk will discuss drivers and requirements for future broadband services as well as the optical access technology and standards being developed to support these services.
