IOWN sets focus on go-to-market, proof of concept optical in 2025 | Computer Weekly
Briefly

The IOWN Global Forum celebrates its fifth anniversary by unveiling plans for 2025, which focus on enhancing optical communication technologies and establishing pilot use cases to showcase the utility of IOWN technologies. Initiated by NTT with support from major tech companies like Ericsson and Google, the IOWN project seeks to support the forthcoming demands of a hyper-connected world while tackling the growing concerns of data consumption and energy usage linked to AI workloads. Its all-photonic infrastructure aims to facilitate low-power and low-latency communications through optical signals, designed for future high-capacity networks.
Led by NTT, the IOWN project was created to meet the growing needs of the hyper-connected business world of the future, offering a future global communications infrastructure capable of enabling ultra-high-speed, high-capacity internet services utilising photonics-based technologies.
This network and information processing infrastructure includes terminals that can provide high-speed, high-capacity communication using technology focused on optics, as well as large computational resources.
