Description

The ICTON Demo Zone offers live demonstrations of research projects and proof-of-concept implementations spanning a diverse range of fields related to the applications of optical technologies in telecommunications.

Demonstrations take place in dedicated booth and are are specifically designed to engage small groups, fostering an interactive setting that encourages real-time exchanges between attendants and presenters. The presentations are dynamic and responsive, following an on-demand model that allows attendees to experience the demonstrations at their convenience. The flexibility extends to the incorporation of both on-site and remote equipment. The demonstrations may include elements such as recorded videos or live connections to remote hardware and experiments, further enriching the overall experience for those in attendance.
