DESCRIPTION:Abstract: This presentation will look at the requirement for a
 nd the current progress in optical fibre access\, with a particular focus 
 on fibre to the home. It will discuss the technologies that are currently 
 being installed across Europe and the rest of the world and consider why a
  number of standards are competing in different markets and why progress r
 ates differ widely. It will also introduce the technologies that are being
  researched and standardised for the next generation of optical access.\n\
 nBio: Dr John Mitchell  received his BEng in Electronic and Electrical Eng
 ineering and PhD from the Department of Electronic Engineering at Universi
 ty College London in 1996 and 2000 respectively. In 2000 he was appointed 
 as a Lecturer in the department of Electronic Engineering at University Co
 llege London\, becoming Senior Lecturer in 2006. His research has focused 
 on optical access networks and radio over fibre network technologies. In a
  project funded BT he was involved in the design of the long-reach optical
  access netwok (LROAN) which offered 10Gbit/s over 100km to 1024 users. He
  has given a number of invited lectures on optical access and Radio-over-f
 ibre networks\, and currently leads the Virtual Centre of Excellence in Ac
 cess in the EU FP7 Project BONE.\n\nJohn Mitchell is giving this seminar w
 ith support from ACEOLE\, a Marie Curie Action at CERN funded by the Europ
 ean Commission\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=59761
