The European Conference and Exhibition on Optical Communication (ECOC) - the second largest event of its kind in the world - has received nearly 1000 proposals for technical papers for this year's event in Cannes - a record. Falling under the topic of this year's conference - From Devices to Network Applications - papers include technology issues across the optics, broadband, FTTx and network solutions arenas.
The show will also feature a market focus series of seminars, concentrating on the European market, IPTV, metro and core network status, and FTTx in Europe.
'This record-breaking response to our call for papers confirms ECOC's status as one of the leading conferences in the industry', said Simon Kears, Nexus Media Marketing Manager.
'It is particularly pleasing to note that many of the submissions are about broadband and access, reflecting the growing role that optics is playing in underpinning the world's converged networks'.
