Frank Effenberger is an American electrical engineer. He is currently Vice President and Fellow of Fixed Access Networks at FutureWei Technologies.[1]

Effenberger completed his undergraduate studies in 1988 at Stevens Institute of Technology, where he majored in engineering and engineering physics. He completed a master's degree at University of Rochester's Institute of Optics.[2] He earned a PhD from the University of Central Florida College of Optics and Photonics. His doctoral thesis was titled Signal and noise in sprite detectors.[3] After graduating, he studied passive optical networks (PONs) at Bellcore. In 2000, he served as director of systems engineering at Quantum Bridge Technologies (later Motorola).[1] He became director of FTTX at Huawei in 2006.[4] In 2011, Effenberger and colleagues published a paper describing the world's first field trial of XG-PON.[5]

Since 2009, Effenberger has served as a rapporteur for Q2/15 (WP1/15) on optical systems for fibre access networks in Study Group 15 on optical transport networks and access network infrastructures of the International Telecommunication Union.[6][7][8] He chairs the IEEE 802.3cp task force.[1]

Effenberger was elected as a Fellow of the Optical Society (OSA) in 2015.[9] That year, he was additionally named a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)[10] for contributions to passive optical networking standards and technology. He was also honored by the UCF Alumni Association with their Professional Achievement Award.[2]
