Demo Zone

Demo Proposal Submission Deadline: 23:59 Beijing Time (UTC/GMT +8.00), Saturday, 1 August 2026

The Demo Zone features interactive, on-demand live demonstrations of cutting-edge, non-commercial research prototypes and proof-of-concept innovations across optical communication devices, systems, and networks. Hosted in dedicated booths fully equipped with tables, monitors, and bulletin boards, each demo offers intimate, small-group sessions that foster real-time technical exchanges between presenters and attendees. Demonstrations can integrate on-site facilities, remote hardware, pre-recorded videos, and live remote experimental connections, creating a flexible, immersive platform to showcase the latest advances in optical communications. We invite all interested authors to submit your papers to N5: Industry Perspectives and Network-Centric Technology Evolution.
