HISTORIC Roadmap for Broadband Optical Internet Access Towards 10GBit/s Everywhere

到目前为止，在所有关于宽带光互联网接入实施的研究中，很少有人将愿景带到Photonics21竞赛的目标--“万兆/S无处不在”。该项目的合作伙伴代表联合王国大多数感兴趣的各方，他们将开展一项重点路线图研究，目的是确定在实现Photonics21雄心勃勃的目标方面有希望的前进路线，同时最大限度地利用在早期项目中获得的现有知识，这些知识在目前的情况下并不总是以简单适用的形式应用。我们将寻求最具成本效益的解决方案，这些解决方案是未来可证明的(即允许带宽演进和基础设施重复使用)，并允许简单的接口可以标准化。这项任务需要在垂直整合的联合体结构的推动下进行高度创新。这项研究的结果将提供给英国业界，以便在下一阶段的开发中最大限度地增加英国的机会，该阶段将根据FP7和ERANET+计划进行，最终导致下一代光纤互联网接入系统在世界市场上的商业领先地位。

In all of the studies carried out so far on the implementation of broadband optical internet access, few have carried the vision as far as the objective of the Photonics21 competition, “10Gigabit/s everywhere”. The partners in this project, who represent the majority of interested parties in the UK, will carry out a focused road-mapping study, with the aim of identifying promising routes forward in achieving the ambitious goals of Photonics21, while making best use of the existing knowledge that has been gained in earlier projects, which is not always in a form that is simple to apply in the present context. We will seek the solutions which show most promise of cost effectiveness, are future proof (i.e. allowing bandwidth evolution and infrastructure reuse) and allow simple interfaces which can be standardized. This task will demand a high degree of innovation, facilitated by the vertically integrated consortium structure. The results of the study will be made available to UK industry in order to maximize the opportunities for the UK in the next stage of development, which will be conducted under the FP7 and ERANET+ schemes, leading ultimately to commercial leadership in the world market for next-generation optical internet access systems.Amélie
