Aiming at the development of infrastructure for effective network resources management and flexible provision of services
COSMOTE participates in the research project “CONFES”1 which aims at developing a network infrastructure of ultra-high capacity that will enable the efficient management of changes in the traffic of wireless and wired next generation telecommunication networks and will meet the increased demands of modern consumers for broadband access, high quality of services and technological convergence.
“CONFES” focuses on the development of a backhaul network, a critical element for the quality of service. By utilising the advantages offered by fibre-optics technology (passive optical networks) the new infrastructure seeks to service the dynamically changing telecommunication traffic. It will do so by enabling the automatic restructuring of network resources, and providing increased capacity, continuous connectivity and flexibility in the provision of services. It is estimated that the new infrastructure will contribute to the rationalisation of investments made by operators in the transmission network, thus providing real solutions to the industry.
COSMOTE is in charge of coordinating the project and determining the network infrastructure technical specifications based on the analysis of current and future services. Moreover, it will actively participate in the trials for the technical evaluation of the infrastructure as well as in the preparation of a techno-economic analysis examining the commercial feasibility of the solution. It should be noted that COSMOTE is actively operating in R&D fields both on a European as well as national level, and has a rich track record of successful projects and an international network of partnerships in the industry and academic communities.
“CONFES” boasts also the participation of ALCATEL-LUCENT Hellas S.A., the Optical Networking Group of the University of Peloponnese, the Athena Research and Innovation Center in Information, Communication and Knowledge Technologies and the Institute of Communications and Computer Systems (ICCS) of the National Technical University of Athens. The project is integrated in the National Strategic Reference Framework 2007-2013 and the Operational Programme for Competitiveness and Entrepreneurship (EPAN II). It is funded though the National Scope Action “Co-operation” (80%) as well as by the private bodies participating in the consortium (20%).
