The NOC/OC&I 2009 conferences will be hosted by Universidad de Valladolid (Valladolid, SPAIN) from 9 to 12 June 2009. The conference follows recent editions held in Krems (Austria), Stockholm (Sweden), Berlin (Germany) and London (UK).
Networks & Optical Communications (NOC) combines fibre optics systems, networks and technology within a single event, providing a forum for the promotion of new opportunities from industry, institutes of technology and academia. Main topics include:
- Broadband access technologies (passive optical networks, radio over fiber, in-building networks)
- Transport and photonic networks (wavelength-routing, OBS, OPS)
- Energy saving in telecommunication networks
- Components and physical issues of optical networks
- QoS and management in optical networks
- Convergence and multilayer networks
In Optical Cabling and Infrastructure (OC&I) we would like to explore new alternative optical fibre and infrastructure technologies to provide innovation and reduce costs for the introduction of FTTN/B/H deployment. Main topics include:
- Optical fibre and cable developments
- Novel installation techniques
- Cost reduction strategies for CAPEX
- Reliability and maintenance for low OPEX
- New optical connectivity technologies
- Progress on international standards
We therefore invite you to contribute to the events through involvement as author or delegate. Please, find more details below.
