The Center for Telecommunications Research, an Engineering Research Center at Columbia University conducts research and education programs in the domain of advanced telecommunications networks. Major efforts are concentrated on two systems projects, the MAGNET network testbed, and a Lightwave Network project, which serve as focal points for a broad range of investigations and as testbeds for new ideas. A prototype fiber-optic network has been developed and its operation has been demonstrated at the unprecedented speed of 12.5 GHz. A concept for a metropolitan area network is being explored with several industry partners. Innovations are being pursued in semiconductor materials processing, including advances in laser-assisted chemical etching. Exciting progress has been made in implementing "micro-area networks" involving optical interconnections among integrated circuit chips. These activities will continue and will converge on the concept of intelligent distributed optical networks. This action is a five-year renewal.

电信研究中心是哥伦比亚大学的一个工程研究中心，在先进电信网络领域开展研究和教育项目。 主要工作集中在两个系统项目上，即 MAGNET 网络测试平台和光波网络项目，它们是广泛调查的焦点和新想法的测试平台。 原型光纤网络已经开发出来，并以前所未有的 12.5 GHz 速度进行了演示。 一些行业合作伙伴正在探索城域网的概念。 半导体材料加工不断追求创新，包括激光辅助化学蚀刻的进步。 在实施涉及集成电路芯片之间光学互连的“微区域网络”方面已经取得了令人兴奋的进展。这些活动将继续下去，并将集中在智能分布式光网络的概念上。 此行动为五年续展。
