Light at the End Part 2

May 29, 2026

Continuing the discussion with IOWN Global Forum with its technology director Dr. Masahisa Kawashima on why photonic networks are going to be important in the next few years. In this episode he explores more about the elimination of the need for personal computing and smartphones, how this will be good for the environment and of course the skill sets that will be required to put this into effect. Guy Clapperton is the interviewee as always.
