About The FOA<br />
The Fiber Optic Association, Inc. (FOA) is the<br />
international professional society of fiber<br />
optics, a non-profit educational organization<br />
chartered to promote professionalism in fiber<br />
optics through education, certification <strong>and</strong><br />
st<strong>and</strong>ards. Since its founding in 1995, the FOA<br />
has certified over 35,000 fiber optic techs<br />
through over 250 schools in over 40<br />
countries. The FOA creates educational materials<br />
<strong>and</strong> curriculum for training <strong>and</strong> development<br />
of fiber optic industry staff who install<br />
<strong>and</strong> run the world’s fiber optic networks. The<br />
FOA also has the world’s largest free educational<br />
website on fiber optics.<br />
<strong>Event</strong> Summary<br />
The event is aimed at bringing together both industry professionals, engineers<br />
<strong>and</strong> technicians that want to know more about modern optical fiber networks <strong>and</strong><br />
the skills required to implement them. The event will open with a presentation on<br />
the latest fiber technologies being implemented today <strong>and</strong> the impact they are<br />
having on world markets. The second presentation will look at the coming five<br />
years <strong>and</strong> what technologies are likely to be deployed in both mature <strong>and</strong> developing<br />
markets. Fiber optic technology impacts on every facet of modern communications,<br />
from a simple light distribution medium to illuminate instrumentation to<br />
Submarine cables spanning the world’s oceans <strong>and</strong> carrying terabits of data per<br />
second. Fiber optic technology is now commonplace in public access networks, in<br />
private networks <strong>and</strong> as a medium for remote monitoring <strong>and</strong> control systems,<br />
found in many industries across the globe.<br />
To take advantage of these modern communications networks it is important that<br />
there is a greater underst<strong>and</strong>ing of the underlying principles of the technology<br />
<strong>and</strong> an awareness of the international st<strong>and</strong>ards <strong>and</strong> skills required to implement<br />
the technology. The event will conclude with a presentation on fiber optic training<br />
<strong>and</strong> the importance of both the knowledge <strong>and</strong> skills required by fiber optic professionals.<br />
The importance of skilled <strong>and</strong> certified technicians <strong>and</strong> planners will be<br />
explored along with the real benefits they bring to any organization competing for<br />
business in modern markets.<br />
The event will give ample opportunities for networking <strong>and</strong> the chance to discuss<br />
the latest trends in technology <strong>and</strong> the training <strong>and</strong> development needed to<br />
support optical fiber networks.<br />
<strong>Registration</strong> Fee<br />
AED 500 per person<br />
