Linkage Infrastructure, Equipment and Facilities - Grant ID: LE0668490

Funded Activity Summary

Ultra-high speed optical transmission test-bed for testing next generation photonic devices. This test facility will enable Australian researchers to validate optical technologies that are crucial for the development and deployment of ultrahigh speed optical networks in Australia. These next generation networks will make broadband internet connectivity more widespread and affordable for individuals and business. They provide the backbone for long haul, ultrahigh speed data transmission that link regional and urban communities within Australia and with the rest of the world, and enable a range of video on demand services including e-meetings, virtual classrooms and remote medical consultations. Demand for these services will drive new business opportunities for the Australian ICT sector.
