Photonics Briefing Objective
This briefing will focus on the opportunities that have developed for the optical networks business by the events of 9-11 leading to increased government spending for "homeland security". The estimated budget for Homeland Security is estimated to be $55 billion dollars for the 2003 financial year. The "Homeland Security" effort requires the collaboration of a wide range of data, including voice and video - which has to be processed, stored and transmitted. This has created opportunities for companies in optical space, including SANs, remote storage, transmission over long distances, back-up, and alternative routing - to name a few. Experts from both the government and supplier sides will be invited to present their views on ways in which companies in the optical space can take advantage of these opportunities.
Tentative topics include:
- Overview of the optical networks technology applicable to Homeland Security
- How big is the Optical Network opportunity?
- Who is responsible for funding homeland security?
- What's the money flow for Homeland Security?
- Who's handling the distribution of the funds for Homeland Security?
- What projects related to optical networks are being funded?
- How can optical technology be used in Homeland Security?
