Innovation Areas
In future 6G networks, information should seamlessly flow across wireless and fibre-optic networks, from end-users to data centres, whether they are located nearby or anywhere around the globe. By 2030, the required...
and WaveBand-Selective Switch
The FLEX-SCALE optical node approach is based on a key new switching device we call WaveBand-selective Switch (WBSS). Our WBSS processes the entire UWDM optical spectrum, carving it into flexibly-defined, continuous...
energy-efficient, flexible Transceivers
State-of-the-art on optical DACs: In recent years, improving the trade-offs between performance, energy efficiency, complexity and cost reduction for optical transmitters (Tx's) was pursued by adopting direct D/O conversion...
telemetry for 6G transport Networks
The Flexscale program will deploy, and experimentally evaluate a sustainable SDN control system for the proposed 6G transport network that will act as a transport network operating system by optimising the joint management of...
For security applications, a dynamic, short settling time optical engine should be provided such as SLM based devices or phase shifters array in between DWDM demultiplexer and multiplexer. The gap between the data...
