Scalable Tunable and Resilient Optical Networks Guaranteeing Extremely-high Speed Transport
January 2010 – December 2012
FP7-247674
STRONGEST leverages on the definition of innovative architectures for developing a scalable, resilient and cost-effective transport network, offering ultra-high capacity to the end users in the broadband society of the future. The new architectures will take into account the evolution of the access network technologies, in order to ensure transparent core-access integration, but the studies carried out by the project will focus mainly on the metro and core areas, because these are the part of the network where the main scalability issues are foreseen in the next years.
