Assume a Full-Service STOLAS network with aggregated traffic inputs. Create a realistic traffic input scenario for this network that may be representative of a typical European region in year 2009. Realistic traffic input created using three generic sources: Voice (Poisson), Data (Pareto), Video (Gamma).

IST TOPRATE: Achievements/ Results

• Optical Time Division Multiplexing (OTDM) technology– to the next bitrate hierarchy of 160 Gbit/s and beyond– full use of 40 Gbit/s ETDM technology

• Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM)– Nx160 Gbit/s DWDM / use of AWG demultiplexers

• Fibre transmission– Dispersion management optimization– 160 Gbit/s single channel transmission over 2x100 km– 4x160 Gbit/s DWDM transmission over 3x80 km

• Many novel techniques investigated / used for– PMD compensation: tunable planar devices (PLC)– electronic 40Gbit/s eye-monitoring– optical demultiplexing: novel photonic crystal fibre– optical clock recovery: 40 GHz optical clock operated in 160 Gbit/s receiver

BREAD Objectives

• Develop a multi-disciplinary view for the realisation of ‘broadband for all’

• Combine forces in the area of– state-of-the-art results in R&D on the technological level– expertise towards the economic sustainability and the in-time adoption of

adequate bussiness models– expertise and study towards the regulatory aspects on EU level and the re-

conciliation of customers’ and industries’ interests

• Develop a more holistic vision encompassing technical, as well as economical and regulatory aspects

• Identify roadblocks on European, national/regional level• Share visions and best practices on national level to EU level (ERA)• Benchmarking the EU situation with US & AP develop.

Project Key Issues

• Interdisciplinary workshops, working groups, studies.

• Set up of an information exchange platform

• Support the concertation & networking of IST projects

• Stimulate concertation with national/regional initiatives in the ERA framework

• Assist in the dissemination at large of IST results

• Create documents (based on input from IST-projects) for good practice with respect to the concurrent development approach for new services.

• Develop visioning documents on evolutionary scenarios, and providing gap analysis identifying R&D priorities
