• Description

  As networks achieve increasing performance and scale, they push the boundaries of technology and face greater challenges to continued evolution. The IEEE International Network Generation Roadmap (INGR) is part of the IEEE Future Networks Initiative and was formed to roadmap wireless networks out to a 10 year horizon. Recently, the INGR was expanded to include optical networks. This symposium will present the first edition of the INGR Optics Roadmap, which include x-haul networks, high speed access and indoor networks, and AI in optical networks, among other areas.  This symposium will highlighting key elements of the roadmap and look toward potential new areas in which to develop roadmaps. The broader optical networks community is invited to learn about and comment on the roadmap at this event.
