VI. CONCLUSIONS
The keys for future of fiber optic networks in Romania are Quality, POA and NGN equipments. Quality of materials and works used in fiber optic networks construction is becoming more and more important. POA – Points of Access – make possible to connect the Customer not only at the network end but at any intermediary point of fiber optic network. Next Generation Networks equipments will follow GPON technology and they will make better use of existing fiber optic networks with more bandwidth for Customers in many various activity fields. Fiber Optic Networks will expand in other shared infrastructures as the costs for investments will decrease and new and more infrastructure operators will take the lead for fiber optic networks infrastructure deployments. The human resources for fiber optic networks are more developed abroad with many Romanian experts in the big companies. These Romanian experts working abroad should bring more value to fiber optic industry in Romania within the next years to come as the local labor market is stressed by the shareholders for profit and prices reductions. The innovation in using actual fiber optic networks it seems to be closed to zero but a closer relationship between private fiber optic industry and academic institutions and training centers is expected within the next years.
