The exhibit hall grew by 20 percent over last year, featuring new programming for service providers and data center operators, and more exhibitors filling a larger space, alongside its core show floor programs and activities. The more than 500 companies in the exhibition hall showcased innovations in areas such as 100G, tunable XFPs, metro networking, Photonic Integrated Circuits, and more. On hand to demonstrate where the industry is headed were network and test equipment vendors, sub-system and component manufacturers, as well as software, fiber cable and specialty fiber manufacturers. Service providers and enterprises were there to get the latest information on building or upgrading networks or datacenters. OFC/NFOEC also featured expanded program offerings in the areas of high-speed data communications, optical internetworking, wireless backhaul and supercomputing for its 2011 conference and exhibition. This new content and more was featured in standing-room only programs such as the Optical Business Forum, Ethernet Alliance Program, Optical Internetworking Forum Program, Green Touch Panel Session, a special symposium on Meeting the Computercom Challenge and more. Flagship programs Market Watch and the Service Provider Summit also featured topics on data centers, wireless, 100G, and optical networking. Hundreds of educational workshops, short courses, tutorial sessions and invited talks at OFC/NFOEC covered hot topics such as datacom, FTTx/in-home, wireless backhaul, next generation data transfer technology, 100G, coherent, and photonic integration.

    OFC/NFOEC 2012 Archive Technical Conference: March 4-8, 2012 Exposition: March 6-10, 2012 Los Angeles Convention Center, Los Angeles, CA, USA The optical communications industry’s leading event wrapped up last week in Los Angeles with increased attendance, a larger show floor and plenty of buzz and enthusiasm surrounding the innovations presented in the technical sessions. Nearly 800 technical presentations covered topics such as an elastic optical network for enabling terabit speeds, a graphene-based optical modulator, a record-speed wireless data bridge, and optical interconnects for enabling future computers. The popular post-deadline paper session, which saw a spike of 25% more submissions this year, featured the most timely breakthroughs in the research field – including a record 405 Terabit/s transmission speed demonstrated by a team of researchers in Japan. OFC/NFOEC’s most well-attended program, the Plenary and Awards Session, featured three high-level speakers on three unique topics. Isao Sugino, R&D director in Japan’s Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications gave a comprehensive overview the devastation caused to the telecommunication networks in Japan after the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami, as well as a look at what Japan is doing to protect its ICT infrastructure against future disasters. Greg Papadopoulos, venture partner with New Enterprise Associates and former CTO of Sun Microsystems, spoke on exa-scale computing and what it means for the optics industry. Google’s Vice President of Access Networks, Milo Medin, spoke on the current “age of abundance” and what that means for bandwidth, network speeds, and consumer demand.
