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.
