Currently, WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) optical networks represent the telecommunications technology with the highest capacity to transmit information on the Internet. However, due to the increasing demand for data traffic globally, this technology must be regularly updated.

In order to contribute to improving the current optical networks, the researchers of the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, Universidad Adolfo Ibañez, Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María, Universidad de Concepción and University College London have joined forces to form the Research Group in Optical Networks (IRO because of its acronym in the Spanish language, Investigación en Redes Ópticas). This group benefits from the synergy obtained by putting the institutions' laboratories at the service of the group of academics and students working in this area.
