Google to Make Market Focus Debut
Both seminars fit into five key topic areas agreed by the ECOC 2010 Advisory Committee for this year’s Market Focus, which is sponsored by Oclaro and held during the exhibition at the Lingotto Congress and Exhibition Centre in Torino, Italy, from September 20 to 22. The session topics are:
40 and 10Gbit/s systems; mass-market broadband fibre access; optical backhaul for 3G and 4G mobile networks; optical network agility and packet optical transport.“Their involvement demonstrates the convergence and importance of the Market Focus, which is increasingly seen to be a key part of the ECOC exhibition and enables a dedicated discussion platform for trends and emerging technologies in optical communications.”
