NECLA at ECOC 2025: Advancing Optical Communication and Distributed Sensing

NEC Laboratories America (NECLA) was proud to join the European Conference on Optical Communication (ECOC 2025) in Copenhagen, Denmark, from September 28 to October 2. Our researchers presented cutting-edge work in distributed acoustic sensing, AI-driven fiber optics, and optical networking. From generative models for event classification to digital twins and entomological observations using telecom fibers, these sessions highlighted NECLA’s role in shaping the future of intelligent and resilient communication systems. In addition, NECLA’s Fatih Yaman co-organized a workshop on emerging frontiers in optical communication.
