The Plastic Optical Fiber Trade Organization (POFTO) is organizing a workshop on March 23 at OFC/NFOEC on "Discussion and Strategy on the Development of POF Standards". All those interested in the development of POF Standards are invited to attend. This workshop is open to both POFTO and non-POFTO members and will include both POF and PCS. A review of existing POF standards and recent activities will be presented to start the discussion as well as the Global POF Installation Guide (GPOFIG) Proposal.
Please take a few minutes to review this proposal and post your comments on the new Global POF Infrastructure Guide (GPOFIG) Topic on the POFTO Forum section of the website.
The workshop will be held in Room 30A of the San Diego Convention Center from 2:00-5:00 pm on March 23. Please plan to attend if at all possible as this is a critical need for the future development of the POF industry.
So that we have an idea of who may be able to attend, please contact either Paul Mulligan or Paul Polishuk.
