The rise of the stupid network ?

From centralised to distributed services deployment ?

Less complex and less closed ?

Smarter and more active than Internet ?

Flexibility without compromising scalability

CPA 6 : Next Generation Networks

Objective : To foster the deployment of an “open”modern networking infrastructure by supporting industry driven large scale experiments.

Focus : Technology Validation e.g. Fixed - mobile interworking

Full Service Demonstration e.g. Scalability, security, accounting

Usability Testing e.g. Application requirements in specific industry domains

NGN55

CPA 1 : Extended Home EnvironmentsObjective : To develop and experiment platforms for the integration of applications and Services for the “extended” home.

Focus : Technology validation e.g. • convergence of broadcasting and Web Services • interoperability between different networked appliances and between home and public networks.

Full Service Demonstration e.g. Security, accounting

Usability Testing e.g. Affordability, adaptability and user friendliness in specific application domains (healthcare, e-commerce, …..)
