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

到目前为止，在所有关于实现宽带光学互联网接入的研究中，很少有研究能达到Photonics21竞赛的目标，即“无处不在的10gb /s”。该项目的合作伙伴代表了英国大多数感兴趣的各方，他们将开展一项重点路线图研究，目的是确定有希望的路线，以实现Photonics21雄心勃勃的目标，同时充分利用早期项目中获得的现有知识，这些知识并不总是以一种简单的形式应用于当前环境。我们将寻求最具成本效益、面向未来的解决方案（即允许带宽演进和基础设施重用），并允许可以标准化的简单接口。这一任务将需要高度的创新，而垂直整合的财团结构将为创新提供便利。这项研究的结果将提供给英国工业界，以便在FP7和ERANET+计划下最大限度地提高英国在下一阶段的发展机会，最终引领下一代光学互联网接入系统在世界市场的商业领导地位。天使爱美丽

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
