This PFI:AIR Technology Translation project focuses on translating optical networking control and switching technology invented in the NSF ERC Center for Integrated Access Networks (CIAN) to fill the need for fiber optical systems, the plumbing of the Internet, to be more flexibly reconfigured with changing service requirements. The resilient and programmable metro optical networking system is important because it can enable data traffic bottlenecks to be rapidly resolved and high bandwidth applications such as big data, telemedicine, and video to be flexibly moved to high capacity express-ways. For example, large volumes of data could be rapidly moved out of the path of natural disasters such as hurricanes. With this innovation, following a disaster, available live fiber connections can be flexibly managed to enable the highest available capacity and connectivity. This project will result in a proof-of-concept reconfigurable fiber system that has the unique capability to automatically switch the metro fiber connections between different metro, access, and data center optical transmission systems. These features provide a more efficient use of fiber infrastructure, more cost effective and reliable fiber capacity for high bandwidth services, and greater resilience to natural disasters. This project addresses several technology gaps as it translates from research discovery toward commercial application. This new reconfigurable fiber system will enable optical networks to be reconfigured to provide wavelength and fiber scale bandwidth on demand in metro networks. The main concept involves using space switching in metro network nodes or central offices to reconfigure the fiber connectivity across multiple communication platforms including reconfigurable optical add drop multiplexing (ROADM) and other access and distribution optical systems. Novel optical physical layer control algorithms and software defined networking (SDN) based protocols will be used to manage switching over optically amplified links on fast time scales. Additional optical elements or accelerators are introduced based on the switching requirements. In addition, graduate students and post-doctoral researchers involved in this project will receive technology transfer and entrepreneurship experiences through the proof-of-concept development and evaluation, and the business and use case development together with industry and government leaders. The project engages the New York City Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications (DoITT), Silicon Harlem, and Calient Technologies in this technology translation effort from research discovery toward commercial reality.

这个PFI：AIR技术翻译项目的重点是翻译NSF ERC集成接入网络中心（CIAN）发明的光网络控制和交换技术，以满足光纤系统的需求，互联网的管道，以更灵活地重新配置不断变化的服务需求。弹性和可编程的城域光网络系统非常重要，因为它可以快速解决数据流量瓶颈，并将大数据，远程医疗和视频等高带宽应用灵活地转移到高容量高速公路上。例如，大量数据可以迅速从飓风等自然灾害的路径上转移出去。通过这项创新，在灾难发生后，可以灵活地管理可用的实时光纤连接，以实现最高的可用容量和连接。该项目将产生一个概念验证的可重构光纤系统，该系统具有在不同的城域、接入和数据中心光传输系统之间自动切换城域光纤连接的独特能力。这些功能可更有效地使用光纤基础设施，为高带宽服务提供更具成本效益和可靠的光纤容量，并提高对自然灾害的恢复能力。 该项目解决了从研究发现到商业应用的几个技术差距。这种新的可重新配置光纤系统将使光网络能够重新配置，以在城域网中按需提供波长和光纤级带宽。主要概念涉及在城域网络节点或中心局中使用空间交换来重新配置跨多个通信平台的光纤连接，包括可重新配置的光分插复用（ROADM）和其他接入和分配光系统。新的光物理层控制算法和基于软件定义网络（SDN）的协议将用于在快速时标上管理光放大链路上的交换。基于切换要求引入附加的光学元件或加速器。此外，参与该项目的研究生和博士后研究人员将通过概念验证开发和评估，以及与行业和政府领导人一起开发业务和用例，获得技术转让和创业经验。该项目与纽约市信息技术和电信部（DoITT）、Silicon哈莱姆和Calient Technologies合作，共同致力于从研究发现到商业现实的技术转化工作。
