Posted on: Wednesday, 1 February 2006, 09:00 CST

Visit Industry's Most Comprehensive Exposition, Featuring 600

Exhibitors Covering the Entire Scope of Optical Communications What: OFC/NFOEC 2006 When/Where: March 5 - 10 (Exhibits Open March 7 - 9) at the Anaheim Convention Center Details: As the largest and most comprehensive international event for optical communications, this year's combined OFC/NFOEC will host the entire scope of optical communications, providing programming, exhibit and educational activities for all audiences from researchers working in the laboratories to service providers and carriers to equipment manufacturers. Featuring a broad spectrum of optics and electronics exhibitors, with 40 percent from outside the U.S., OFC/NFOEC is the most time-efficient, cost-effective opportunity to see the latest products and get a first-look at the technology of the present and future. The technical program, featuring both the OFC and NFOEC programs, will feature hundreds of sessions, including workshops, short courses and paper presentations, giving a broader spectrum of participants the opportunity to network and customize their learning experience in one event. Highlights: Exposition floor highlights: -- Optical Internetworking Forum Demonstration Area - The OIF is a non-profit organization with a unique and diverse member base, including many of the world's leading carriers, component manufacturers and system vendors

. The OIF helps advance the standards and methods of optical networks and accelerate the deployment of interoperable, cost-effective and robust optical networks and their associated technologies. -- International Theater, a one-stop venue showcasing the latest technology advances from around the world. Programming highlights include presentations from countries throughout Asia and France and Germany. -- FTTH Center - A combination demonstration and resource center, The Light Brigade's FTTH Center offers "one-stop shopping" for all things related to fiber to the home. The Center will feature hot, new FTTH products on display, live active and passive demonstrations of FTTH, as well as a FTTx supplier database. -- POF Market Opportunities Presentation - Plastic Optical Fiber is a low cost optical transmission media useful for short distance data and sensor applications. Unlike glass optical fibers, plastic optical fibers require simple tools, are user friendly and operate in the visible range making it easier to diagnose if there is a problem. All these points and more will be presented at "POF Day" comparing POF with glass optical fibers (GOF), wireless and copper wires. -- Approximately 600 exhibitors, featuring the latest optical communications technologies.
