POF-PLUS, AN EU sponsored research consortium backed by some of Europe’s large medium operators, including France Telecom and Telecom Italia, will present At OFC 2011 results of its research into and development of unused commercially feasible technologies for transmission at Gigabit speeds complete Plastic Optic Fiber (POF).

This new technology will beryllium highlighted on two booths, and in a talk at the POF Symposium. On the POF-PLUS booth, # 2830, consortium members Firecomms, Luceat, and Rosetta IP module provide live demonstrations of Gigabit LAN transmissions utilizing media converters. Associate organizations Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits and POF Application Center (POFAC) module showcase novel developments of this new Gigabit transmission technology on the Plastic Optical Fiber Trade Organization (POFTO) booth, #2615. The developments of parallel visual transceivers for transmission of multi-gigabit transmission speeds also volition be featured on the POFTO hut.

Attendees interested in a full summary of the grades of the Gigibit transmission work will be rewarded by a talk fixed by Professor Roberto Gaudino of the Politecnico di Turin. Hugh Hennessy, Firecomms VP of sales and marketing, module conclude the presentation next to a discussion of the roadmap to commercial deployment of Gigabit technology. The presentation will be held at the POF Symposium in Expo Building 3 next to the exhibition floor at 10:00 am on Thursday, March 10.

“For several years major operators across Europe have deployed POF within home networks because of the simplicity and ultra-thin nature of POF,” states John Lambkin, CTO of Firecomms. “With these presentations,

POF-PLUS is demonstrating how POF quarters networks, with guaranteed reliability and the lowest maintenance costs, are future-proofed for the close twenty years or more.”

The OFC 2011 Exposition volition be control halogen the Los Angeles Convention Center in California on March 8-10, 2011.
