The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is organizing the ITU Workshop on “Future Optical Networks for IMT2030, AI, Broadband and more” in the afternoon of
12 June 2025at 15h30-18h00 in Paris and is hosted by Huawei Technologies. Remote participation will be provided for this workshop. This workshop will be held in conjunction with the
ITU-T SG15 interim meetings of Q6, Q13 and joint Q12 & Q14/15 meeting.
This ITU Workshop aims to discuss with the industry and our global society the progress made in ITU-T SG15 to support emerging applications — such as IMT-2030, AI, data center interconnections, and broadband access—through enabling optical network architectures and technologies. This includes discussion of the framework and overall objectives for the future optical networks, currently under development in ITU-T SG15 and provisionally called International Optical Networks towards 2030 and Beyond (ION-2030).
Target Audience
Participation in the workshop is open to ITU Member States, Sector Members, Associates and Academic Institutions and to any individual from a country that is a member of ITU who wishes to contribute to the work. This includes individuals who are also members of international, regional and national organizations. Participation in the workshop was free of charge.
