Current projects

OptiCON
In the project OptiCON, it is investigated how the capacity of the existing fiber infrastructure can be increased cost-efficiently by factor of 5 when using all available transmission bands.
SENDATE
Within the SENDATE Secure-DCI project, an architecture for next-generation distrib-uted data centers based on optical tech-nologies in conjunction with virtualized network functions and software defined network orchestration ...
SPEED - Silicon Photonics Enabling Exascale Data Networks
Optical transceivers specially developed for the data center area will be used in high quantities in the future.
