MUSE lab trials on display at NOC 2006

The cross-subproject demonstrator consists of an access platform for triple play services developed by subproject B at the premises of T-System in Berlin connected via the IST MupBed testbed with a CWDM (Course Wavelength Division Multiplexing) system for business users developed by subproject D at the premises of HHI-Fraunhofer Gesellschaft. HHI hosted this successful edition of NOC in Berlin from July 11-13. The programme included two dedicated sessions with 10 papers from MUSE. Collocated with NOC, NTUA organised an interesting MUSE Summer School on QoS in Broadband Access on July 14.

A residential gateway developed in subproject D was demonstrated at InfoComm in Barcelona, April 23-29.

11th MUSE consortium meeting

More than 120 participants attended the 11th Consortium Meeting hosted by BUTE in Budapest in June.

Requirements for the fixed access architecture have been deduced from use cases for fixed mobile convergences (nomadism and session continuity).This has lead to contributions in DSL Forum, HGI, and ETSI TISPAN. Progress was also made on other architectural aspects, residential gateways, first mile solutions, and testing.
