The meeting will be held in R oom 6A-106. It is necessary to register as a visitor to access this area. To expedite registration at the front desk\, please register online ahead of time. The room is located on the right of the front desk behind the exh ibition area.\n\nAbstract - Passive optical networks (PON) have had consid erable and increasing commercial success over the past two decades\, and t here is no end in sight. In this presentation we will talk about how we go t here\, why TDM PONs continue to hold off any need for WDM-based PONs\, w hat are the drivers for the development of next generation PONs\, what tec hnologies are required\, and at what point will IM-DD technology have to g ive way to coherent.\n\nEd Harstead is the Lead Technology Strategist at N okia and a Bell Labs Fellow. He led the first generation of WDM PON resear ch efforts at Bell Labs in the 1990s\, and he subsequently led the standar dization of first generation TDM PON technologies. He spent most of the 20 00s in DWDM transport and then moved to PON product management just before the introduction of coherent optical transmission. Since 2010s\, he has s upported the Fixed Networks CTO\, with a focus on the standardization of h igh-speed PON in IEEE and ITU-T\, bandwidth demand forcasting\, with paper s published in IEEE Communications Magazine\, among other topics.\n\nEvery one is welcome to attend.
