IST NOBEL - “Next generation Optical network for Broadband European Leadership” : What is the NOBEL main goal ?
To carry out analysis, feasibility studies and experimental activities on innovative solutions and technologies for intelligent IP/optical networks
Why this goal ?
There is the need to solve core and metro networking bottlenecks such as: architectures for interworking and interoperability, solutions for provisioning differentiated QoS/QoP services, efficient management & control, multi-layer resilience and resource optimization, flexible provisioning of new and advanced network services…

NOBEL Second Phase
(3 Call)
Companion Project
(2 Call Research Networking test-beds) to integrate and validate, in the context of user-driven large scale test-beds,
state-of-the-art ASON/GMPLS networking as an enabler of the future upgrade
of European Research Infrastructures
to carry out analysis, feasibility studies and experimental activities
on solutions and technologies for intelligent and flexible optical
Networks (core and metro) supporting broadband services for all to complete and enhance
development activities
and to make experimental

IST NOBEL - “Next generation Optical network for Broadband European Leadership : Conclusions
NOBEL is focused on bring innovation in core and metro networks for enabling B4all services
The NOBEL Consortium consists of a large number of European (global) players of the telecom industry, network operators and research institutes
NOBEL intends to contribute to Standards and Fora (ITU, IETF, OIF, TMF…) in order to create a consensus view on a common European network vision with advanced and innovative solutions for B4all
