Signal Processing in Photonic Communications (SPPCom)
Events
Signal Processing in Photonic Communications (SPPCom)
28 July – 01 August 2024 | Québec City, Québec, Canada
SPPCom explores cutting-edge digital and analog signal processing techniques for various applications in photonic communication systems and networks.
It aims to meet escalating capacity demands, lower cost per bit and facilitate future photonic communication services in metro and long-haul networks, data center interconnects (DCI), edge computing, free space communications and optical access networks. This forum unites researchers and engineers across diverse fields to exchange knowledge, present leading research and discuss visionary ideas.
