29-30 Jun-2022 (2 day workshop)
TU Braunschweig, Germany
The ThoR final workshop and demo was held in person (and also online) on 29-30 Jun-2022 hosted by EU Coordinator, TU Braunschweig and co-located with the German national project METERACOM workshop (28-Jun-2022). In person visitors were able to see the high speed (2×20 Gbps bidirectional) 300 GHz THz link demo between campus buildings using ThoR hardware, which defines the new state-of-the-art.
A video of this achievement is available.
