Iown (innovative optical wireless network) is based on a shift from electronics to photonics It will help make the next internet more powerful, faster and greener. This article explores how photonics offers a promising solution to the complex problems faced by smart cities and iot networks. Leaning on silicon photonics, along with advanced edge computing, wireless, cryptographic, and other technologies, an industry group led by ntt, intel, and sony emerged several years ago with a roadmap for a new communications and computing platform. That’s why infrastructure builders and investors are placing new bets on silicon photonics The journey of photonics—an exploration into light generation, manipulation, and detection—has found a complementary path through iot, a vast network of interconnected devices communicating seamlessly.
