Smart photonics for joint communication & sensing and access everywhere (Photonics Partnership) (RIA)
Summary
Cluster 4 promotes investments that will shape competitive and trusted technologies for a European industry enabling production and consumption to respect the planet’s boundaries and maximising the benefits for all parts of society in the variety of social, economic and territorial contexts in Europe. This will build a competitive, digital, low-carbon and circular industry, ensure sustainable supply of raw materials, develop advanced materials and provide the basis for advances and innovation in global challenges to society.

Call
Detailed Call Description
Proposals should address at least one of the following activity areas:
- Light-based solutions to let the communication network sense, while transporting data, for example
- To enhance the security and resilience of the network
- To make network resources more energy efficient
- To warn and protect against natural disasters, earthquakes etc.
- To monitor the infrastructure where the fibre is deployed (traffic, stress in bridges…)
- Light-based solutions to bring internet everywhere, with the most relevant access technologies
- Fiber to the home, fiber to the antenna or fiber to the sky (satellite), for example with coherent passive optical networks, free space optics, Lifi or optical beamforming and steering
- while enabling the integration of all access technologies in one system
This topic implements the co-programmed European Partnership Photonics.
