- WTON is an annual conference on optical technologies hosted by CPqD, a Brazilian research center. The most recent conference in 2014 had over 150 participants from industry, academia, telecom operators, and research centers. - CPqD bridges universities developing scientific research and innovative companies seeking new products through technological R&D. As an EMBRAPII unit since 2014, CPqD offers national industry expertise in optical communications technologies including long distance transmission systems, optical transport networks, access networks, and optical sensing systems. - The upcoming IV WTON conference in 2015 will cover topics such as high-capacity networks, flexible networks, integrated photonics, and the Internet of Things. Participants are invited to visit

4. EMBRAPII – CPqD
Optical Communications
Since October 2014, as an EMBRAPII Unit, CPqD can offer to the
national industry funding, knowledge and expertise, accumulated
over the course of 38 years, to develop advanced solutions in optical
communications;
Its Competence Area covers the following technologies:
• Optical transmission systems in long distance: technologies of transmission and
reception, dispersion compensation techniques and optical WDM regeneration
(transmission beyond 100 Gbits per channel).
• Optical transport systems: technologies of optical switching WDM and Ethernet
packet, optical network transport protocols, traffic engineering and reconfiguration
protocols for mesh network topologies (e.g.. Carrier Ethernet and optical networking
self-configuring);
• Optical access systems: technologies of network systems based on optical fiber for
the last mile“, equipments for PON networks (e.g. The OLT controller and user terminals
ONT), network systems of access and PON aggregation at 10 Gbits rates (per interface)
and aggregation packet switches at 10 Gbits (connection-oriented).
• Optical sensing systems: technologies for remote monitoring.
