  11. THE PARADOX FOR OPTICAL NETWORK R+D “THE PROBLEM AREAS IN OPTICAL NETWORKS ARE MOSTLY NON-OPTICAL” ALL NETWORKS USE MORE AND MORE OPTICS BUT OPTICAL HARDWARE IS A DECREASING PROBLEM THE PRIORITY RTD FOR FUTURE OPTICAL NETWORKS MAY BE IN MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS, PROTOCOLS, MAC LAYERS, CLIENT ADAPTATION LAYERS…. CAN OPTICAL RTD BE DIRECTED TO SOLVING THESE PROBLEMS? (+FOR ACCESS NETWORKS, RTD IN DIGGING HOLES??? )

  31. Regional Infrastructure Investment The projected growth in bandwidth usage shows that all users will require 10-100 Mbit/s by around 2008-2012 Support for investment to encourage the provision of optical fibre infrastructure for use by public services (hospitals, schools, administration…) in peripheral Regions will also facilitate the future provision of fibre for residential users in these areas OD7

  32. Network Infrastructure Investment • The primary aim should be to put into place high speed optical fibre data networks in each local or Regional area: • all universities, training centres, research institutes and libraries should have a optical Gigabit Ethernet or 1.2Gbit/s fibre connection. • Secondary schools should have 622Mbit/s or Fast Ethernet optical fibre connection.* • A 55Mbit/s optical link (or VDSL) would be sufficient for most primary schools. • * based on 1000 pupils, 1 PC per 10 pupils, • fast Internet connection=2Mbit/s per PC OD6

  33. CONCLUSIONS • The future Global Information Infrastructure will be based on WDM optical networks • Optical network implementation will be driven by client layer requirements and by the availability of technology • Photonic Technologies RTD has an important place in the IST Programme, to provide the infrastructure of the Information Society
