Goal
- Develop and deploy research infrastructure, and an associated control framework, for experimentation that enables experimental research at the convergence point between optical and wireless networks.
OBJECTIVES & FOCUS
Both Europe and Brazil:
- Deploy facilities to be accessed by external experimenters for experimentation that requires integration of wireless and optical technologies
- Develop & deploy a converged control framework for experimentation at the optical/wireless boundary
- Conduct experimental research using optical/wireless facilities
- Create sustainable ecosystem of collaborative research & industrial/academic partnerships
- Create education & outreach materials for a broad audience interested in experimental issues in wireless & optical networks
expected RESULTS
- 3 federated optical/wireless facilities in Europe + 3 in Brazil enabled for external experimenters
- 6 non-consortium partners using
the FUTEBOL research
infrastructure
- 3 showcase experiments at least 1 European and 1 Brazilian Partner
- Attend ETSI technical committee meetings, meet with ANATEL, organize workshops with telecom operators…
