Fiber sensing in IOWN Global Forum

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.
