DESCRIPTION:Join the IEEE Montréal Section STARACOM for a technical talk b
 y Dr. Jun Shan Wey\, Verizon.\n\nWhereas the access segment of data commun
 ications was a relatively late adopter of optical technologies compared wi
 th backbone and metro\, it quickly became the main battleground. This semi
 nar will begin with an overview of optical access architectures\, e.g.\, p
 assive optical network (PON) and fixed wireless access (FWA)\, and drivers
  for future technology evolution. Based on Verizon’s experience\, we wil
 l analyze operator's broadband strategy\, review the standardization lands
 cape\, and discuss recent innovations in optical access.\n\nCo-sponsored b
