Tactile internet capable passive optical LAN for healthcare

We present the underlying communications network that achieves rapid delivery of control/steering/sensor information in Tactile Internet capable healthcare facilities. Exploiting passive optical LANs with TWDM and predictive DBA, an end-to-end latency of 200µs is achieved.
