_____________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY The DOMINO project seeks to design novel architecture, algorithm and protocol solutions to fulfill the energy efficiency and awareness requirements of future multi-layer green optical networks. DOMINO leverages the capacities of ultra-high, dynamic multi-layer optical networks to decrease the ICTs carbon footprint. The project takes five innovative concepts as the basis of it’s […]

_____________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY The CRAAX lab actively participate in research into the area of advanced network architectures, nationally and internationally, in close collaboration with industry partners. CRAAX’s aim is to conduct not only pure academic research which is often decoupled from industrial realities, but also to design and develop solutions with the potential of being adopted […]

_____________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY Energy-use in buildings can be minimised by using modern technology with situation-aware devices that are able to communicate. The SOWICI project aims to develop a novel, energy-efficient, in-building optical/wireless communication network. This network will feature intelligent routing and transmission functionalities for wireless services between sensors and actuators and fixed and mobile wireless broadband […]

_____________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY One of the biggest challenges facing the telecommunications industry is to satisfy user requirements and optimally utilise network infrastructure to achieve sustainable solutions for industry while also providing affordable products and services to end-users. The CONFES project aims to provide a solution to this challenge by developing an integrated wireless-wired transmission network infrastructure […]

_____________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY The Optical Networks project seeks to research, develop and verify new principles and technological trends in the building of advanced optical networks. The project also carries out the evaluation and testing of deployment possibilities of advanced optical equipment, both in research and production networks. _____________________________________________________________________ SOLUTIONS Supporting the design of modern optical networks […]

_____________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY The Multimedia project is building an environment for user communications and multimedia content sharing on high throughput optical networks and the middleware layer. The project focus primarily on the research, development, and quality of rich multimedia services (audio, video, text, and presence) using standard signaling protocols (H.323, SIP), services (MCU), web conferences, streaming, […]

_____________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY The MAINS project will design, develop and implement a novel metro architecture supporting sub-wavelength granularity. It addresses the expanding requirements of the Network of the Future at a metro level by proposing a novel solution leveraging combination of ring and mesh sub-wavelength switched metro network technologies, fully controlled by and advanced control plane. […]

_____________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY The current decoupling between applications and network layers leads to inefficient resource utilisation and over-provisioning, where the network connectivity is not tailored to the cloud dynamics. The GEYSERS project seeks to address this problem. The project seeks to construct a virtual infrastructure representation layer for optical network and IT resources. It also enables […]
