FOAM -Future Optical Amplifier Mounting

FOAM（未来光放大器安装）项目将使更高数据速率的可能性成为全球小型农村社区的经济可能性。这将通过解决与交换中心内关键部件建设相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，并为南威尔士增加技术就业创造了可能性。

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.
