Mesdames,
je me permets de vous annoncer que nous organiserons les 20-21-22 Juin prochain à Brest un Symposium International GROWAN 2012 (Green Radio-over-Fibre and All Optical technologies for Wireless Access Networks) qui traitera des technologies radio-sur-fibre et tout-optique pour les réseaux d’accès sans fil à impact environnemental réduit (notamment via l’optimisation de la consommation énergétique).
Plus d’informations sont actuellement disponibles sur le site officiel à l’adresse suivante : www.growan.eu
Lors de la première édition l’an dernier, nous avions rassemblé une cinquantaine de participants venant de France et de l’étranger (Royaume-Uni, Allemagne, Canada, Chine, Australie, Suède, Finlande, Belgique).
Merci pour diffuser cet événement. Je reste à votre disposition pour tout renseignement complémentaire.
Veuillez recevoir Monsieur, mes salutations les plus sincères,
Dear Mrs/Mr,
I am pleased to confirm that we will be organising a 2nd international Symposium GROWAN 2012, at Telecom Bretagne in Brest (France) on June 20-21-22, 2012 to address Radio-over-Fibre and all-optical wireless technologies for access networks with reduced environmental impact (namely through optimisation of energy consumption).
This unique event will gather international key experts from both industry and academia and will create great networking opportunities for setting up future collaborative projects.
Your participation would be highly appreciated. Feel free to broadly communicate about this event.
For more information, please refer to our official website www.growan.eu. However, if you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us.
Looking forward to your reply,
