OFC/NFOEC 2009 report

San Diego Convention Centre
San Diego Convention Centre

The official statistics are in: OFC/NFOEC in San Diego last week attracted 550 companies and around 9,500 attendees. Numbers are down a fair bit on last year when there were around 12,000 attendees, and some big name vendors chose to book meeting rooms instead of booths.

But while things were certainly quiet, they weren’t uneventful. The key decision makers still attended, and business seemed to be getting done. For a show where everyone was talking about how there wasn’t a lot going on, I certainly found plenty to interest me.

Here’s a round-up of OFC/NFOEC news published on fibresystems.org:

Pre-show coverage:
Agilent gets up to speed on 100G modulation
ADVA tackles metro-optimized 100G
Ericsson trials 100G with Deutsche Telekom

From the event:
