Status of WDM LAN Standards Development for Aerospace Applications

	Sarry Habiby Senior Scientist, Applied Research Telcordia Technologies		About the Presentation In this paper the author reviews status and advances in the development of WDM LAN standards for avionic and aerospace applications. It provides a synopsis of the scope, charter and recent activities of the WDM LAN Task Group of the Society of Automotive Engineering (SAE). In addition, it highlights associated WDM technology and standardization challenges, and describes key liaisons with other optical networking standards working groups within and outside the SAE. The objective is to enable design and implementation of a WDM LAN based on a standard that will facilitate flexible, high bandwidth, low cost, and low weight communication links on aircraft platforms that can span military, commercial as well as space air vehicles. A key challenge is to design systems and networks that can withstand the stringent environmental requirements encountered in aerospace applications.
Sarry is an Optical Networking professional with nineteen years experience in research and management of optical technology programs. He is currently active in research programs in optical transport and switching, WDM LANs, systems requirements, transparent network simulation and modeling. Prior to joining Telcordia, Sarry worked at Tellium, a leading provider of optical switching solutions for telecom operators' core networks. At Tellium, Sarry was director of a technical sales engineering team.(PhotonLab) of the institute, held in cooperation with Politecnico di Torino
