  2. Two Vermont Communication Union Districts (CUDs) Join Forces To Forge A Promising Path Forward With Unique Fiber Broadband Model 3/8/2022

    Lamoille FiberNet (a CUD with 10 member communities) are formalizing plans together to build, own, and maintain an “open-access” fiber network that can host multiple ISPs (Internet Service Providers). 

  3. A New Amplifying Technique For Optical Signals 2/2/2022

    Weak optical signals are common in many science and technology applications. However, they are difficult to detect or process due to the incoherent noise that is inherently present in any system. PhD student Benjamin Crockett and colleagues, working under the supervision of Professor José Azaña of the Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS), have conceived a technique for the recovery of weak, noise-dominated optical signals. Their research was published in the prestigious journal Optica.
