Work Package 7.1 focuses on developing data transmission technologies to handle higher data rates due to the increase in channels and bits per sample in front-end ASICs. This includes: radiation-hard optical links, wireless technologies, and low-power architecture designs. Reducing mass and power consumption through optimized design techniques. Efficient power distribution and protection circuits to minimize detector mass and heat.
Developing efficient readout controllers to aggregate, buffer, and transmit data effectively. The goal is to optimize data transmission and maximize the utilization of very high-bandwidth off-detector links.
The Work Package is composed by the three following projects:
Project 7.1a: Silicon Photonics Transceiver Development
This project aims to develop high-speed optical transceivers based on Silicon Photonics technology for use in a wide range of future particle physics applications from low-temperature neutrino detectors to high-radiation environment HL-HLC pixel detectors.

Project 7.1b: Powering Next Generation Detector Systems
This project aims to develop power distribution schemes and their voltage/current regulators and converters for use in a wide range of future particle physics applications, from low-temperature neutrino detectors to high-radiation environment HL-HLC pixel detectors and beyond (future collider’s experiments)

Project 7.1c: WADAPT (Wireless Allowing Data and Power Transmission)
This project aims to develop wireless technology based on a millimeter wave (mmw) transceiver IC as well as on Free Space Optics to connect neighboring detector layers, providing increased data rates, high power efficiency and high density of data links, with the aim of reducing mass and power consumption.
