FOAM -Future Optical Amplifier Mounting

FOLAMP(未来光纤放大器安装)项目将使世界各地小型农村社区实现更高数据速率的可能性成为一种经济可能性。这将通过解决与交换中心内关键部件的建设有关的一些基本问题来实现，并使更小、更快的交换中心成为现实。与此同时，这笔资金扩大了威尔士在半导体封装和创新方面的能力，确保了目前的就业机会，并为南威尔士增加熟练就业提供了可能性。

The FOAM (Future Optical Amplifier Mounting) project will make the possibility of higher data rates an economic possibility for small rural communities world wide. This is to be achieved by solving some of the fundamental problems associated with the construction of key components within the switching centres and make smaller faster switching centres a reality. At the same time this funding expands the Welsh capabilities in semiconductor packaging and innovation, securing current employment and opening the possibility of increased skilled employment in South Wales.
