An EU-funded project,FABULOUS (FDMA Access By Using Low-cost Optical Network Units in Silicon Photonics), has created innovative original components to be used in digital telecommunications including digital radio, or television and internet that are lower-cost and more efficient than currently existing technology. The project has demonstrated that its technology will allow higher bit rates – the speed at which basic units of information are processed - in computing and digital communications.
