FY2011 Activities

Establish ad hoc technical working group
PIF organized two technical working groups in 2011.
WG-1	October, 2011
WG1 quantified a percentage of photonic network power consumption occupied in the whole power consumption of communication networks in Japan. Optical communication technologies are expected to bring energy-saving effects in the field of ICT.
WG-2	December, 2011
WG2 has researched future key technologies of photonic network that is able to recover communication line failures flexibly caused by large scale disasters such as earthquakes. In this year, WG2 extracted the necessary research issues.

Workshop(Opinion exchange meeting)

February 22, 2012

　PIF workshop on standardization activity promotion was held on February 22, 2012. The presenters of this workshop were the key contributors of main optical communication standardization societies, such as ITU-T, IEEE, OIF, IETF. Many opinions were discussed about the activities of those organizations, and future directions of these organizations and standardization topics.
