High Speed Communication System Packaging 2001

Workshop Goal

GigaBit (Broadband) Speed Communications is coming to our desktop, faster than many thought possible.

The GOAL of this workshop is to explore the convergence of millimeterwave radio and microwave/millimeterwave opto-electronic packaging technologies, across the supply chain (devices, materials, products, equipment and services) which will be needed to support future GigaBit per second speeds to the Desktop.

This IWPC Workshop is one of our "Overview Series", where we have a chance to look into the near future and explore what applications and markets are going to require advanced packaging technologies.
