FRONT Workshop: Shaping the Future of Optical Networks
9 November 2024
Hotel Quirinale | Via Nazionale 7, 00184 Rome, Italy
Our chapter helped to promote the participation to the FRONT (FutuRe Optical NeTworking) held in Rome on the 9th Novembre 2024.
The FRONT Workshop is dedicated to discovering technologies that enable progress towards future generations of optical networks. The objective is to foster a revolution in fixed network technology, leading to extensive Fiber-To-The-Everywhere/Everything (FTTE) networks capable of supporting new service categories and reaching new markets and end users. In this post-pandemic era, we aim to renew academic dialogue in a casual setting, freely discussing future communications technologies and reconnecting with peers in an Academic Salon atmosphere. The workshop featured a panel discussion with global participants on the future of optical networks and is open to renowned academics and industry specialists in the field.
The workshop covers a wide range of cutting-edge topics in optical networking. The topics of primary interest to this year’s FRONT Workshop include:
- Optical Communication systems and networks for AI clusters and Data centers: Optical Interconnects for AI Clusters, Power consumption of AI clusters, Low-cost/complexity transceivers, Novel optical nodes, Optical computing, AI photonic neural networks
- Optical Communication systems and networks for x-haul and next generation FTTx: Optical wireless communications/Li-Fi for FTTR applications, Integration of Optical and Wireless Networks, Digital twin of x-haul optical networks, X-Haul and mobile edge cloud optical networks, Network-wide modelling and optimization methods, Next generation PONs for FTTx.
