The motion chartering the formation of the 200GMMF Study Group is as follows:
Move that the IEEE 802.3 Working Group request the formation of a Study Group to explore the potential market requirements and feasibility of addressing AI/Data Center networks, and to develop a Project Authorization Request (PAR) and Criteria for Standards Development (CSD) responses for 200 Gb/s per wavelength MMF optical PHYs
Therefore, the Agenda for the meeting will be to study 200 Gb/s per wavelength MMF optical PHYs and the development of the Project Authorization Request (PAR) and the Criteria for Standards Development (CSD), documentation, and Objectives.
Presentations on the following areas would be highly recommended:
· Objectives for the Study Group
· 5 Criteria:
- Broad Market Potential
- Economic Feasibility
- Technical Feasibility
- Distinct Identity
- Compatibility
