Paving the optical future with affordable lightning-fast links

Abstract:

The POF-ALL project ("Paving the Optical Future with Affordable Lightning-fast Links") shall develop a technology to allow delivery of 100+Mbit/s symmetrically to residential users at costs far lower than existing alternatives, thanks to the use of Plastic Optical Fiber (POF). The solution will be targeted at the edge network which, due to its capillarity, is the most expensive part of the access network; and it will be tailored to large residential buildings, which are most common in European cities. In this paper we will describe in detail the consortium composition, the different tasks to be accomplished and the preliminary results obtained during the first year of the project. © 2007 IEEE.
