Abstract
The research and technology development in advanced telecommunications technologies in Europe initiative (RACE) has the stated objective of introducing integrated broadband communication (IBC), taking into account the evolving ISDN and national introduction strategies, progressing to community-wide services by 1995. The 3-year RACE II program, begun in 1992, moves RACE towards an implementation phase in which demonstrators play a key role. Recent extensions to the RACE II program will take this work into 1995. Within this program optical-communications technology is seen to be vital in providing the infrastructure required to support future broadband services.
