A photonicsbased technology revolution is underway Lower power consumption by Higher transmissioncapacity by Lower endtoendlatency by A global movement Companies and organizations from around the world work together to develop photonicsbased network and computing solutions which will revolutionize every aspect of our lives. The data driven age The IOWN Global Forum is leading the development of pioneering technology that replaces electronics with photonics to transfer vast quantities of data at speeds previously considered impossible. Sustainability for growth Moving from electrons to photons will increase capacity reduce latency and decrease power consumption to drive down carbon emissions. Creating a more distributed infrastructure will enable greater use of local renewable energy.
