Workshop on High-capacity Backhaul in Advanced Wireless Networks: the PON Solution    Wednesday, October 28, 2009                                               
2:45 pm-5: 00 pm                                                                                               32 Vassar Street (corner of Main Street)

The dramatic increase in wireless bandwidth is driven by enhanced mobile data/internet services and advanced standards such as 3G and 4G. This evolution has led to the need for advances in backhaul bandwidth and there could be a significant role for PONs.  We will explore this topic at a workshop to be held as part of the Communications Futures Program (CFP) All-Members Fall Meeting, “Pent-up Disruptions: Communications in a New Era” October 28-29th, 2008, MIT Stata Center, Cambridge, MA
