🚀 In a recent joint experiment, ICCS – NTUA | PCRL – Photonics Communications Research Laboratory, Intracom Telecom, Cumucore and NVIDIA-MLNX demonstrated CNC-based control of TSN traffic over a high-frequency E-band mmWave wireless link. 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐝: ✅ Real-time monitoring of constellation diagrams and SNR ✅ Manual blockage simulation and instant detection via zero throughput […]

On Monday, 12 May, we had the pleasure of hosting the Period 2 Review Meeting for the SPRINTER project, coordinated by PCRL-ICCS. All consortium partners participated, presenting their work to the Project Officer and expert reviewers and showcasing the key achievements and progress made during the second reporting period. The meeting concluded with productive discussions

We’re excited to announce that the SPRINTER Project was selected to be showcased by Photonics21, a major European platform promoting innovation in photonics. As part of this feature, Efstathios Andrianopoulos, Maria Massaouti and Costis Christogiannis gave an interview about the project, sharing insights into its goals and impact. SPRINTER is working on the development of advanced

We’re excited to announce that two simulation datasets from the SPRINTER project are now available on Zenodo. These datasets support advanced studies in VCSEL-based optical transmitters and offer detailed insights into high-speed signal transmission under varying operational conditions. Researchers, engineers and students working in the field of optical interconnects or high-speed data communications are invited

We are pleased to announce that the SPRINTER Project participated in OFC2025 with a paper presentation. The paper, entitled “Demonstration of a Silicon Nitride Optical Beamforming Network Based on Blass-Matrix Architecture” was presented by Eva Loukisa (PCRL | NTUA). The presentation highlighted the project’s advancements in silicon nitride-based optical beamforming networks utilizing the Blass-matrix architecture.

We had a great time at this year’s OFC, where we presented SPRINTER’s latest module. In the photos: Johan (imec), Sadoon (LioniX), David (HHI), and Roelof JC Brits and Milan Milosevic from PHIX, just a few faces among the many contributing to the collaborative energy that powers the SPRINTER project. A big thank you to

On March 18-19, 2025, the SPRINTER consortium gathered for our 6th plenary meeting, hosted by ICCS/PCRL in Athens. This two-day event was a great opportunity to review our progress, align on technical developments and plan the next steps toward advancing energy-efficient, high-speed optical interconnects. With a shared vision and strong collaboration, the SPRINTER team remains

We’re excited to share a glimpse from ECOC2024! 📸 As we previously informed you, our project partner PHIX showcased the SPRINTER project flyer and shared insights into its vision and goals. For those who couldn’t attend, you can explore the digital version of the SPRINTER leaflet here!    

On 14-15 October 2024, the SPRINTER partners gathered at the LioniX International, in Enschede, the Netherlands for the 5th Plenary project meeting. During these two days, we had an in-depth review of the progress made so far and engaged in productive discussions to shape the next steps in the development of the innovative SPRINTER technology.

We are excited to share that SPRINTER Project Partner FILL participated in the GigaLab Challenge & Expert Workshop in Vienna, Austria! More specifically, on September 20, 2024, SPRINTER project partner FILL took part in the GigaLab Challenge & Expert Workshop, a dynamic forum where participants collaborated to create solutions for gigabit and 5G applications.
