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.
