Sorting fibre facts from opinions!

In the public discussion about digitisation and broadband expansion, which is characterized by emotions and political maneuvers, even industry insiders often have problems in distinguishing between facts and opinions. Laser Components’ fibreoptics symposium offers a forum for all those who want to leave the general media buzz behind and delve deeper into the topic of fibreoptics. On October 18, 2018, representatives from all areas of the fibre industry will meet in Olching near Munich. In lectures and discussions, they will deal with the current development of the market and technology, as well as the political framework.

”Last year’s topics ranged from Deutsche Telekom’s FTTH roll-out to the optical real-time monitoring of optical fibers and infrastructures to the quality of fiber end surfaces in MPO connectors“, recalls Dr. Andreas Hornsteiner, the host of the event and head of the fiber technologies division at Laser Components. "We are planning a similarly diverse program again this year. One focus will certainly be CIP legislation. In this field, fiber optic technology offers interesting options for infrastructure monitoring. However, other speakers have already announced reports on new types of cables and connectors.”

To create the right framework for a lively exchange of views, the number of participants is limited. There are still free seats available but judging by last year’s experiences, the organizers advise not to hesitate too long with registration.
