      Future industrial network for Wind parks by VirtuWind

      Green, renewable Energy is fundamental to European growth. A large portion of this will come from wind energy. Reducing the production costs of Wind Energy will accelerate this technology and its adoption. VirtuWind proposes innovative application of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) in wind parks. This will reduce capital invest (CAPEX) in turbine control components and will reduce operational & Maintenance (OPEX) costs over the lifetime of the turbines.

      Overall design for the new radio network “5G”, the proposal of METIS-II

      METIS-II's project focuses on the part of future communication networks called the “radio access network”. The Radio Access Network is that part of a (mobile) network that enables the communication between terminals user equipment and the “core network” (that is the central part of a network providing services). The project provides the solutions to build the radio network "5G" which are needed for an efficient integration and use of the various 5G technologies and components.

      E3Network: Making the internet faster on your smartphone

      Today's mobile networks need to be fast. Speed is not only necessary between the radio towers and the users' smartphones, tablets or laptops… the radio towers must also have a fast connection to the internet and the network's backbone (backhaul link), otherwise they become a bottleneck and cannot receive and re-transmit the videos or music the users wish to watch or listen to. Ideally, the thousands of radio towers/rooftop antennas would be connected via fibre optic cables. Since that is not always possible, the E3Network-project is working on higher speeds even for those towers that cannot be connected by fibre.
