The IOWN Global Forum is a global industry consortium founded in 2020 that brings together leading technology companies, research institutions, and universities to develop next generation communications infrastructure based on photonic networking and computing technologies. Its initiatives focus on creating ultra high capacity, low latency, and energy efficient digital systems through innovations such as the All Photonics Network and distributed computing platforms.

NEC Laboratories America collaborates with the IOWN Global Forum to advance research in optical networking, fiber sensing, distributed infrastructure monitoring, and next generation photonic communication systems. Read our latest publications with IOWN Global Forum.

Fiber sensing in IOWN Global Forum

/in /by

Fiber sensing function was introduced in 2020 as one of the key technology features for the OpenAPN (all photonics network) developed by IOWN GF (Innovative Optical and Wireless NetworkGlobal Forum) in 2020.To our best knowledge, IOWN GF is the first global standard developmentorganization or technology forum that studied fiber sensing technology for telecommunication anddata communication networks, because it brings new feature and benefits to the networkoperators (such as making network operation more efficient, and bringing new values to theexisting network infrastructure), as shown in the examples above.
