IOWN Global Forum 3rd Annual Member Meeting – Highlights
On April 25-27, 2023, IOWN Global Forum hosted its third annual member meeting in Osaka, Japan. With nearly 400 registrants from 78 organizations, and 175 members participating online from around the world, the meeting fostered significant collaboration and discussion about the Forum’s goals and vision for the near future.
Fiber Sensing for Open APN February 2023
The IOWN Global Forum Open APN Fiber Sensing Task Force (OAF Task Force) studies the system architectures and the use cases for applying the fiber sensing function to the IOWN Open APN. With the addition of the sensing function, the fiber optic network becomes more intelligent, with better operation efficiency and resiliency. The sensing function […]
Reference Implementation Model (RIM) for the Interactive Live Music Entertainment Use Case February 2023
This document delves into the RIM for the Interactive Live Music Use Case (ILM UC) as defined in the IOWN AIC UC. The purpose of this RIM work is to develop and evaluate the RIMs iteratively. The RIMs provide guidance for the practical implementation of these technologies and their combinations for the overlay solution targeting […]
IOWN Global Forum Proof of Concepts to Shape Future of Optical Networks
Wakefield, Mass. – December 7, 2022
Industry Event: 2022 Tron Symposium
The IOWN Global Forum will be participating in a panel discussion, presentation, and exhibition at the upcoming 2022 Tron Symposium.
NTT R&D Forum
IOWN Global Forum steps into its 2nd phase of proving its business value through Proof of Concept (PoC) activities. With the active members of Ericsson, Nokia, Red Hat, and SONY, the panel discusses specific PoC activities such as optical communication infrastructure that supports next-gen mobile network, next-gen computing infrastructure that supports information processing in data-centric society, use cases such as inspections by remote control of robots in factories, and building of test environments etc.
Event: Red Hat Open 5G 2022
Next-gen AI-integrated Communications and Cyber-Physical Systems for core, edge, and cloud: How to leverage Innovative Optical and Wireless Network (IOWN) PoC reference cases Date: 9th November 2022 Innovative Optical & Wireless Network(IOWN) Global Forum is developing the next generation Data-centric infrastructure over all photonics network, for the early realization of attractive use cases in the AI […]
Industry Event: IEEE 8th World Forum on IoT
Energy-Efficient Edge Computing with IOWN Technologies Date: 7-11th November 2022 With current technologies, edge computing systems tend to cause increasing of costs due to distributions of computing resources. Therefore, the multiple-edge architecture is not applied to computing systems. However, the IOWN technology enables to share computing resources distributed to multiple-edges (multiple datacenters) by its wide-bandwidth […]
Open APN Architecture PoC Reference November 2022
The IOWN Global Forum aims to establish an open architecture for photonic networking so that service providers can integrate photonic network functions into their entire computing and networking infrastructure with more granularity. The open architecture should also enable service providers to build an intelligent operations support system. In this PoC work, we plan to evaluate […]
IOWN Data Hub PoC Reference October 2022
The purpose of the IOWN Data Hub (IDH) PoC Reference is to build the foundation for realizing digital experience services by verifying the IDH function architecture, which was designed to meet such severe requirements based on a hierarchically distributed architecture as described in the IDH Functional Architecture document. By quantifying IDH capabilities and identifying areas […]
Fiber Sensing Crosstalk Study for Open APN PoC Reference October 2022
The purpose of distributed fiber optic sensing (DFOS) is to detect and monitor changes in the physical environment surrounding a fiber optic cable. DFOS technology utilizes the optical fiber as a sensing element, allowing for distributed measurements of temperature, strain, vibration, and other physical parameters along the length of the fiber. Distributed fiber optic sensing […]
