How The IOWN Global Forum Is Reinventing Financial Infrastructure With Photonics
Masahisa Kawashima, an NTT leader pushing optical transport and sustainable networks, and Katsutoshi Itoh, chair translating use cases into business-driven photonics requirements, discuss photonics reshaping finance. They cover synchronous replication over ultra-low latency optics. They explore open all-photonic networks, distributed compute across regions, regulatory engagement, and how photonics can cut latency, cost, and boost resilience.
