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
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.
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
Based on the Area Management Security (AM-S) RIM document, this PoC Reference provides guidelines for conducting PoCs to validate the IOWN technologies as enablers of low-cost and low-power consumption of AM Security Use Cases.
The purpose of the PoC proposed in this document is to confirm and demonstrate that RDMA over Open APN indeed removes the obstacles of long-range communication for IOWN Global Forum use-cases.
Data-centric-infrastructure-as-a-service is an open architecture that can provide a generic and heterogeneous computing and communication infrastructure.
This document describes an IOWN Global Forum end-to-end system that will meet the requirements of a target use case. The reference design also aims to demonstrate many of the benefits of the IOWN Global Forum architecture and technology over today’s cloud-based implementations.
The purpose of this report is to explain IOWN Global Forum’s full-stack engineering approach with a list of work items, which should close the technology gaps between the key requirements of the target use cases and today‘s technologies.
