Optical Communications

Do you want to position your start-up for R&D funding and growth?

This two-day interactive course will guide you to reflect and identify patterns for growth within and outside of your business.

The need for higher and higher data rates pushes existing technologies to the limit. This event aims to highlight some of the latest developments in extremely high frequency and wideband communications.

Now in its third year, TOP Conference focuses on the development and application of optics and photonics in telecommunications and data centres, as well as photonic components and free-space optics.

In this talk, Optica will present progress on scaling the fabrication of low loss photonics integrated circuits to volume. They will discuss application spaces ranging from sensing to optical computing, including quantum computing and telecommunication, where low loss PICs are crucial to enable a technology breakthrough.

As one of the largest segments in the optics and photonics market, displays represent massive volumes and revenues. They continue to advance, particularly with OLEDs, MiniLEDs, and MicroLEDs offering new possibilities beyond flat panel displays to foldable displays, AR/VR headset displays, and creative lighting designs.

Optica’s Purposeful Executive Leadership Summit is a professional development two day in-person only summit that is designed for middle mangers and those who seek to become middle managers.

Co-located with OFC, the Premier Event in Telecom and Data Center Optics' this is an Optica Industry Event. The Executive Forum features C-level panelists in an informal, uncensored setting discussing the latest issues facing the industry and your business.

Unlike the move from 3G to 4G, the transition to 5G has been fairly seamless. It is expected that 5G coverage will have reached 60 per cent of the world’s population by 2026, making it the fastest ever mobile network deployment.

The Great Telco Debate returns for its tenth year on Thursday 7 December 2023, assembling leaders from across the industry at telecom’s most exclusive thinktank for a day of thought-provoking discussions, challenging debates and unrivalled networking.

UKTIN is excited to announce that recruitment has opened today for the Chair positions for our eight Special Interest Groups.

The quantum computing era and its upsides and downsides might still be years away, but the threat to communications network security set to be posed by cyber criminals armed with quantum computers is already being addressed by multiple telcos and vendors, with Ciena and Toshiba the latest to team up and show off their quantum-safe networking cap

UKTIN member company, Finchetto, has been awarded £1m to develop the world’s first fully optical switch for telecoms networks.

As a part of UKTIN’s Optical-themed month, we spoke to Francesco Poletti, an academic professor at the University of Southampton, where he co-founded a start-up called Lumenisity. 
 

The UKTIN Expert Working Groups bring together academic and industry leaders and experts, governmental and regulatory specialists, and representative bodies to explore the opportunities, gaps and challenges in the UK telecoms ecosystem.
