Topics to be discussed at this year’s edition of Romanian Fiber Optic Conference:

If Romania had plenty of fiber optic cables on the poles and since some years in some cities they are migrating underground, this year we would like to “see” the multitude of cables inside of buildings and how can we build Connected Buildings, re-design the cable networks inside the buildings for both new and existing buildings
Technical solutions for indoor fiber optic cabling adapted to various buildings
Motivation and Needs for People to build indoor fiber optic networks Layer 4 and Layer 5
How many sensors have our buildings in Romania? How many fiber optic sensors are available in the market and for what applications?
We need Networks for next generations in our buildings
The big need and demand for human resources in future deployments of fiber optic networks
Types of actual and future trainings in fiber optic as well in Romania as well in other parts of the world
Do we need free of charge trainings in fiber optic like public transport in some cities?
The evolution of Fiber Optic as Sensitive Technology is reaching Romania in concrete applications?
The future trends in using sensitive fiber optic for people, buildings and communities
