OFC is a premier global event showcasing advances in optical communications and networking. The 2022 conference attracted over 8,000 participants, media from around the world, as well as 430 exhibiting companies in a hybrid format. This year’s conference featured thought leaders from Verizon, NASA, and University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) in keynote sessions.
“The Broadband Forum is privileged to once again host a full day in-person industry thought leadership BASe workshop at OFC 2022,” said Craig Thomas, Vice President Strategic Marketing and Business Development, Broadband Forum. “Industry education is a paramount focus for the forum. This was driven through a full agenda of optical access innovating operators, scientists and leading engineers that are driving technologies and the future investment in optical access. As a leading industry body accelerating broadband innovation and ecosystem development through open standards and interoperability, Broadband Forum’s mission is highly aligned with that of OFC thanks to the synergy and market relevance of optical technology advances for wireline access, transport and mobile xHaul.”
A single converged network supporting both fiber and mobile access is an emerging area of interest among service providers. PON and optical technology advances combined with xHaul demands from the global 5G rollout are converging to create the opportunity for solutions in this space. As a leading global provider of both packet-based 5G mobile transport and hyper-fast broadband access converged edge solutions, DZS is well positioned to participate in this opportunity.
