PANTHER aims to provide the disruptive technological solution and develop 4M (multi-rate, multi-format, multi-reach and multi-flow) transmitters with terabit capacity and flexibility in the definition and wavelength allocation of optical flows for unprecedented efficiency in the use of network resources in metro-regional and core networks.
PANTHER is a 3-year collaborative project on photonic integration that brings together eight leading European universities, research centers and companies. The project was launched in January 2014 and is co-funded by the European Commission through the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7).
