ECOC 2020 MARKET FOCUS
ECOC 2020: 07-09 December, Brussels EXPO, Brussels, Belgium MARKET FOCUS: CALL FOR SPEAKERS
Sponsored by:
Now in its fourteenth successful year, Market Focus has grown to become one of the focal points of the show and remains a popular platform to gain industry knowledge and insight into the latest technologies available. This year, transportation sensing and 5G will be among the latest trends discussed, along with pluggable versus co- packaging and the post-400G landscape.
Photonics integration and digital silicon photonics • Optoelectronic integration trends and applications • Progress in silicon photonics and hybrid silicon lasers • High speed converters and digital signal processors • Optical and digital signal processing • Vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) • Optical Intergrated circuit and ASIC/DSP development • Chip-to-chip communications • Small form factor & coherent pluggables • CMOS vs. InP photonics • Beyond the gold box • Co-packaging solutions • PAM4 and other symbol encoding schemes • Chip-on-board and board mounted optics Datacenters: Optics in Cloud Computing • Datacenter switching • High density multi-Tb/s optical interconnect • 100G/400/800 GbE optics • Parallel optics and active optical cables • Energy Efficient Ethernet and green data centres • High-performance computing requirements independent industry bodies. Last year’s Market Focus featured 30 presentations from some of the top names in the industry and attracted 3,600 visitors across the three days. Some of the topics for this years sessions are featured below.
The Committee is the decision-making force behind the presentation selection process and includes representatives from across the optical communications space - telecom operators, system vendors and component manufacturers to industry analyst groups and
