Building the Future Optical Network in Europe 

The BONE-proposal builds on the foundations laid out by the ePhoton/ONe projects in the previous Framework Programme.

This Network of Excellence has brought together over several years the research activities within Europe in the field of Optical Networks and the ONE-project intends to validate this effort by stimulating a more intensified collaboration, exchange of researchers and builiding on Virtual Centres of Excellence that can serve to European industry with education and training, research tools and testalbs and pave the way to new technologies and architectures.

BONE clearly identifies the existence of the current technologies and also recognizes the fact that users also require the mobility of wireless access, but htis mobile connection ends at a gateway or access points and from there a fixed connection is required and this fixed connection will finally be an optical link.

Duration: 01-2008 - 12-2010, Contract Number: INFSO-ICT-216863,
