Imagens de Marca highlights technology developed at IT in Aveiro

The project FUTPON consolidated the leadership of Altice Labs in Passive Optical Networks (PON), envisioning the PON of the future. (see more)

A team from SIC Notícias was recently in IT in Aveiro to know more about the project FUTPON, a cover story that was later broadcasted on the show Imagens de Marca, on July 19.

FUTPON was a P2020 project, which by pursuing a strategic
