Dear attendees and delegates,

Exhibition Floorplan

On behalf of myself and the entire team behind Optical Connections magazine, I would like to welcome you to the 48th European Conference on Optical Communications here in the vibrant city of Basel. It is gratifying to see that the combined Conference and Expo continue to be the continent’s largest event in the field and one of the most prestigious and traditional events on optical communications worldwide. At Optical Connections, we take pride in our close links with the fibre optics industry. We endeavour to provide up to the minute commentary on the latest innovations and developments through thought leadership features and comment, written by industry experts from both long-established and up-coming companies, as well as industry organisations, analysts and leading journalists in the field. We are also proud to sponsor the ECOC 2022 Show Guide and support the team at Nexus Media Events Ltd. who work so hard to make the ECOC Expo such an on-going success year after year. Our industry is leading the monumental change that is happening in the world of telecommunications. The switch from copper to fibre is as revolutionary as that from the electro-mechanical Strowger technology to electronic switching and transmission systems some 50 years ago. The fact is, we can do so much more with a photon than we can with an electron and we are still discovering new possibilities. Indeed, the move to fibre optic technology is reaching deep into other industries. The insistent demand for ever greater bandwidth is driving innovation in areas such as co-packaged optics, photonic switching and network architecture, all of which and more you will see and have the opportunity to discuss at ECOC 2022. And let’s not forget the ECOC Expo Industry Awards, which celebrate the best and most innovative developments of the year. Winners will be announced live at the Expo on Tuesday 20th September. I hope you enjoy the event and will take time to see the many demonstrations and new products on display, as well as attending the variety of Market Focus presentations which are carefully selected by the team of experts who make up the Market Focus Committee. So, enjoy the Conference and Expo and enjoy the beautiful city of Basel. I hope ECOC 2022 will provide you with new insights and inspirations that will enable you to take the industry forward into what promises to be a fascinating and exciting future.
