Widespread and affordable
broadband access is essential to realise the potential of the Information
Society.

Broadband is not simply a faster
way to connect to the Internet - it fundamentally changes the way people use
the internet. Connections are immediate and large volumes of data can be almost
instantly transmitted. The Internet’s overall presentation changes, moving from
the currently slow, and often user-unfriendly text format, to a fast, colourful
system combining still images, video, animations and sound.
A widespread secure broadband
infrastructure is essential for the development and delivery of services and
applications such as eHealth,
eBusiness,
eGovernment
and eLearning,
making broadband crucial to European growth and quality of life in the years
ahead. The eEurope 2005 Action Plan set an ambitious target: 'widespread
broadband availability and use in the EU by 2005’.
|
Meeting this target is a complex
task - broadband availability is affected by many different policies (town and
country planning, research policy, taxation, regulation), implemented by
administrations ranging from international organisations through to local
administrations, as well as the private sector.
Encouraging broadband access is
intimately connected to the availability of content - operators will not invest
in broadband infrastructure while there is no content to motivate the user to
upgrade, while there will be no real push for new applications and content as
long as the supporting infrastructure is not adequate.
Governments world-wide are
increasingly realising that broadband access to the Internet will be central to
the economic development of their countries. Wide availability of broadband
communication would have a significant impact on their economy, and several EU
Member States have started reviewing the situation regarding broadband on their
territory.
To stimulate discussion on
accelerating broadband deployment in Europe, the Commission held a Broadband
Day in Brussels in January 2003. Member States attending this event were
given the opportunity to describe the main elements of their current plans, and
industry representatives to discuss their experience of barriers to broadband
deployment. The Broadband
Day showed that a dialogue between stakeholders and public administrations
is the best way forward to address the remaining issues. These discussions will
continue through a series of workshops in 2003 on issues such as:
o
the development of innovative broadband
content, that took place in July 2003;
o
regional
and local experiences for broadband development in under-served areas which
took place on 15 December 2003.
The Commission Communication “Electronic communications: the road to the knowledge economy”
(pdf) - reiterated the eEurope 2005 broadband target and called for:
o
all public administrations to have
broadband connections by end 2005;
o
half of all internet connections to be
broadband by 2005.
All Member States have put
comprehensive national broadband strategies in place; please see the Commission
Communication on Connecting Europe at high speed: National Broadband Strategies
See also the Staff Working Paper Annexes of the National Broadband
Strategies Communication
The 2003 Spring European Summit
endorsed these proposals. A further Action on Broadband can be found Connecting Europe at high speed: recent developments in the
sector of electronic communications.
See also Erkki Liikanen, the Press Conference of May 2004: Broadband is taking off (pdf)
|
On this new eEurope site, this
area will be devoted to broadband and will be developed over time to aid
discussion and highlight broadband strategies, activities and results across
the Member States. It will also launch benchmarking and other studies to
analyse the state of play.
Other eEurope targets and
broadband initiatives include:
o
Reducing Barriers to Deployment:
Rolling out new broadband infrastructure usually means launching significant
building projects. The eEurope 2005 Action Plan calls for Member States to ease
access to rights-of-way, poles and conduits to facilitate investment, for
instance through the removal of legislative barriers;
o
Competition and Regulation: One
basic principle is that investment in broadband will mainly have to come from
the private sector. Competition should drive investment, generate innovation
and lower prices. The EU's new Electronic Communications Regulatory Framework takes full account
of the convergent nature of broadband and makes encouraging investment in
infrastructure and promoting innovation explicit objectives for European
regulators. See, in particular, the Unbundling the Local Loop Regulation, ensuring competition
in the market for Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), one of the key broadband
access technologies, and the Framework's Radio Spectrum Policy, to ensure spectrum
availability for, and efficient spectrum use by, wireless broadband services
(e.g. W-LANs).
Structural Funds: In
many rural and remote areas, geographical isolation and low density of
population can make the cost of upgrading existing infrastructure to broadband
capability unprofitable, at least in the short to medium term. To ensure an
Information Society for All Member States are invited to accelerate broadband
deployment and ensure greater territorial cohesion through the use of
Structural Funds, which enable less favoured areas to come to the forefront of
the development of the information society. The Commission issued guidelines on the criteria and modalities for the use of
Structural Funds for electronic communications.
o
New Access Technologies:
Another way of ensuring that everyone can access the Information Society is to
promote the use of emerging alternative communication platforms such as 'third
generation' mobile communications (3G) and digital TV, encouraging the
availability of content for these new platforms:
o
Digital TV switchover: The
transition to digital television would be smoothed by greater transparency
regarding the 'switchover conditions' in each Member State. eEurope 2005
therefore calls on the Member States to publish their intentions by end 2003,
and recommends a platform-neutral approach in all national plans. See "On the transition from analogue to digital broadcasting"
– a Commission Communication analysing the state of play and making
recommendations for improving transparency;
o
Multi-platform content:
Public authorities in Member States and the private sector should aim to offer
their content on different technological platforms, such as interactive digital
TV, 3G etc. The Commission intends to support demonstrations and research
projects (see the IST,
eContent and eTEN programmes), and will identify regulatory obstacles to
the use of digital television for interactive services;
o
Research and New Technologies: The
Commission's research activities support all of these activities as they help
bring to reality a vision of tomorrow's internet: fast, secure, and available
to everyone, anywhere, on a range of devices (see the IST Research
Programme: Broadband for All and Bread: Broadband for All).

Broadband
Increasingly the region's competitive position will
depend on access to, and use of, broadband and ICT facilities. Access to fast,
reliable and affordable Internet connections is an especially major issue for
rural businesses wanting to survive and prosper in an increasingly competitive
marketplace. The NWDA have addressed this by investing £20 million in
Project ACCESS. This project will provide broadband to over 95% of businesses
and members of the public throughout
In addition the NWDA has invested
£12 million for broadband across the region:
Cheshire and Warrington
Greater Manchester[2]
Merseyside
In addition the NWDA is responsible for the Northwest Broadband Fund.
Regionally worth £2.68million, the Northwest Broadband Fund was launched by the
NWDA in January 2002 and was completed in March 2004. Its principal
aim is to achieve connectivity to broadband for businesses and citizens, and to
demonstrate the benefits of broadband and enhance the uptake of the technology.
Completed Broadband Strategies can be downloaded below. Please view the 'NWBF
APPROVED PROJECTS' document within the download section below which provides
information on all approved broadband fund project activities and contacts.

In Sevilla European Council it was indicated that two
major problems (among the others) have to be solved towards eEurope 2005 and
beyond: the transition to digital television in UHF band (digital switchover)
and the broadband access for all. This proposal considers that if proper
decision will be taken for the digital switchover (taking into account the
networking aspect of the new television) it will also provide a solution for
the second problem (the broadband access for all citizens). It presents an
approach towards the solution of the digital switchover that comprises the use
of the DVB stream for interconnecting next generation network (NGN) nodes, by
the use of regenerative configurations. The utilisation of regenerative
configurations enables for the realisation of a virtual common Ethernet
backbone that can be exploited by 3G/UMTS and B3G operators and broadcasters,
besides enabling for broadband access for all citizens.
Such a configuration enables for multi-service capability, as the regenerative
DVB-T creates a single access network physical infrastructure, shared by
multiple services (i.e. TV programmes, interactive multimedia services,
Internet applications, etc.). Validation of such a broadband access for all
citizens infrastructure, based on the proper adoption of digital switchover,
will be realised in a real condition trial in a medium-sized city. The above
trial includes the implementation, testing and validation of a spectrum
efficient real time dynamic management of the available bandwidth, for
supporting the variety of heterogeneous bit rate services, and of a traffic
policy mechanism, for UMTS users on the move, for seamless reception of IP data
when transition from one UHF channel (DVB-T stream) to another is required.

The BREAD (BRoadband in Europe for All: a
multi-Disciplinary approach) co-ordination action aims at developing a
multi-disciplinary approach for the realisation of the 'broadband for all' concept
within Europe. This EU objective will not be reached by a solely 'technology
push' strategy but will need a multi-disciplinary approach (societal, economic,
regulatory and technological issues).
Bringing all these different disciplines together, sharing views and knowledge,
developing new strategies and good practice recommendations in the area of
'broadband for all' is the major objective of the BREAD proposal.
As a co-ordination action the project wants to bring together all players
active in the field of the end-to-end broadband provisioning for all. It will
perform a multi-technological analysis of the current and evolving situation
taking as a starting base all the roadmap information generated by different
IST instruments and projects focusing on specific technological domains. The BREAD
consortium will at the same time study the techno-economic, societal and
regulatory aspects of this "broadband for all" concept. It will try
to identify the impact of EU regulatory framework on the successful implementation
of new broadband communication services. The study will also include regional
"success stories" of actual deployment and the influence of
government stimulus for accelerating the early rollout of broadband services.
Societal aspects of introducing broadband access and sustainable economic
business models for this will be taken into account.
At the same time an IST co-ordination and information exchange platform will be
set up by the BREAD consortium to enhance the interaction between
the key players in the field and to invoke discussions on this
multi-disciplinary approach. The BREAD cluster will thus support
the creation of the European Research Area (ERA) through the stimulation of the
interaction of EU national initiatives and projects.

Today's users of broadband are generally dependant upon
either cable or satellite technologies for the connection to their home or
office. Cable can provide excellent capability, particularly fibre, but is only
commercially viable in high usage areas. Satellite provides widespread
geographic coverage but has limited capability & capacity.
The Capanina project will develop broadband capability from
aerial platforms including High Altitude Platforms (HAPs) to deliver cost
effective solutions providing a viable alternative to cable and satellite, with
the potential to reach rural, urban and travelling users.
Examples of HAPs include airships and solar powered aeroplanes operating at
altitudes of around 20km, well above any air traffic. CAPANINA
builds on the FP5 HeliNet project (IST-1999-11214) that illustrated the
enormous potential of broadband from HAPs and developed an outline system
design. The technology developed will deliver data rates to fixed and moving
users of up to 120Mbit/s anywhere within a HAPs' 60km dia coverage
area.
Free-space optic and mm-wave technologies will be used for backhaul &
interplatform links providing seamless integration with existing
infrastructure.
To provide flexibility and to ensure timely delivery of commercial benefits a
two-stage approach will be implemented yielding near term viable solutions and
outlining the scope for longer term higher risk developments:
- An evolving aerial platform system test-bed supporting broadband services, e.g.
high-speed Internet, corporate communications & video on demand, will be
evaluated on a low-altitude tethered aerostat, a stratospheric balloon and
potentially a HAP. Unique to this architecture the test-bed will also be used
to obtain mm-wave band propagation measurements to fixed and moving users.
-A system outline will be developed with capability to provide up to 120Mbit/s
to vehicles travelling at up to 500km/h, interfacing to on board wireless LAN
access.

The performance of the Internet depends on the
interaction of upstream, contents and downstream markets. The development of
market power, its abuse and anti-competitive behaviour in any one sector will
have important implications for the operations of all others. We focus on
developing the knowledge and tools to understand the related markets for: long
distance transit; public peering; and broadband access. We also focus on the
interplay between infrastructure and contents, which defines the broadband diffusion
modalities across Europe. We will study these markets to identify the
appropriate tools to deal with market failures. This requires monitoring the
evolution of the Internet architecture using data from Online transit markets
and from Internet Exchange Points. These represent major organisational
innovations in the European Internet and their analysis plays a crucial role in
achieving low cost broadband access. These transformations also have wider
implications for extending the geographical scope of cheap access towards less
developed regions.
Our study will help to implement the EU directive on Electronic Networks in
identifying best practices for network access. Our consortium focuses on the
active involvement of both academic researchers and industry operators. Our
objectives support the implementations of both the "Broadband for
all" objective, to enable a wider deployment of the information and
knowledge-based society and economy and the "Networked businesses and
governments" objective "to develop ICTs supporting organisational
networking, process integration, and sharing of resources. This shall enable
networked organisations to build faster and more effective partnerships and
alliances". Moreover CoCombine will be instrumental to the
IST strategic objective "to overcome weaknesses in areas which are
critical for European competitiveness" by helping safeguarding the
competitiveness of the European Internet while strengthening its profitability.

The vision of the project is to develop a novel and
comprehensive security solution for secure broadband services, by combining the
following: flexible implementation techniques for high-speed packet processing,
algorithms for intrusion detection, and policy-based techniques for automated
configuration and decision-handling. The project aims for the general goal of
development and deployment of innovative network components that enable service
providers to offer to their customers secure broadband services in an effective
and cost-efficient way.
In order to achieve this overall goal, the project pursues the following
individual objectives:
-Design and implement an innovative architecture for provider-controlled
distributed high-speed edge devices, aimed to become a new generation of
distributed high-speed broadband firewalls with policy-based control, that are
suitable to provide a comprehensive security solution meeting the needs of
customers and service providers.
-Develop and deploy enhanced techniques capable of detecting a wide range of
security violations, in particular detecting DDOS (Distributed Denial of
Service) attacks, but also suitable for detecting and identifying other types
of malfunctioning. Achieve enhanced detection capabilities by designing
flexible and effective solutions for distributed monitoring of application
traffic.
-Establish techniques for intelligent response to security violations, in
particular providing an effective protection against DDOS attacks.
-Ensure fair, coherent, and efficient enforcement of security policies by
management and control of the distributed firewall components.
-Define use-cases for the new technology, deploy them in meaningful testbeds,
and disseminate know-how and training of target people. The architecture
ensures high performance in combination with functional flexibility using
programmable hardware for classification, filtering, sampling and measurements.

The proposed Network of Excellence (NoE) aims at
integrating and focusing the rich know-how available in Europe on optical
communication and networks, both in universities and in research centres of
major telecom manufacturers and operators. The set of available expertises
ranges from optical technologies, to networking devices, to network
architectures and protocols, to the new services fostered by photonic
technologies. The NoE will contribute to the Strategic Objective
"Broadband for All".
The main technical focus of the NoE is to show which are the potential
advantages of optical technologies in telecommunication networks with respect
to electronic technologies. A strong integration among the participants to the
NoE will favour a consensus on the engineering choices towards the deployment
of cost-effective optical technologies in networking that will support the
future Internet, providing inputs to the standardization bodies and guidelines
to the operators, as well as competitive advantages to European telecom
manufacturers.
Integration will be pursued primarily by establishing long-term collaborations
among partners in terms of research, of infrastructures sharing, and of
education and training. The main instruments to achieve these long-lasting
collaborations are the regular exchange of researchers between partners, and
the development of joint teaching programs.
Dissemination will be pursued by means of coordinated publication activities,
offerings of training programs, organization of technical events, and
interactions with other consortia of the same technical area.
Research activities will mainly be carried out in research programs external to
the NoE, both at the national and at the European levels. Well focused
technical research programs will be activated internally to the NoE.

The main objective of the FlexiNET project
is to define and implement a scalable and modular network architecture
incorporating adequate network elements (FlexiNET Node Instances)
offering cross-connect control, switching/routing control, and advanced
services management/access functions at the network access points that
currently only support connectivity between user terminals and network core
infrastructures.
The primary aim is not to replace or enhance existing networking
infrastructures, but to offer a value-added complementary network architecture
addressing service access de-centralisation and separation of data, service
logic and control from the pure transport network.
The FlexiNET architecture will be based on the FlexiNET
node instances, which will consist of scalable hardware and software platforms
on top of which core network functionality will be realized, as a set of
distributed sub-systems integrated into a generic services execution
environment. The FLEXINET concepts and architecture are
applicable to various access network technologies (GSM/GPRS/UMTS, WLANs, V5,
etc.), but will be focused on the mobile and wireless operator needs (UMTS
& WLAN) for packet switched applications.
The basic motivation for this project is to relieve core networks from data
handling and signalling procedures overhead, to accelerate the introduction of
next-generation marketable services, and increase competitiveness in the
telecom field by facilitating the broadening of current business models for
services provisioning and exploitation.

GANDALF aims at
demonstrating the simultaneous provision of Gb/s data rates to wireline and
wireless access nodes (AN), employing a novel optical feeder concept. The
proposed optical feeder employs a dual-drive Mach-Zehnder modulator at the
central station (CS) operated in such a way that is possible to recover
simultaneously the transmitted broadband data directly at base-band or
intermediate frequency (BB/IF) and modulated onto an RF carrier. This
architecture allows therefore to remotely feed heterogeneous (wireline and
wireless) AN with very interesting features when compared to previous
approaches based in fibre-radio techniques. The optical feeder architecture
proposed by GANDALF allow a significant cost reduction with
regard to other approaches as alleviate the bandwidth requirements at the
transmitter end and simplify the electronics at both transmitting and receiving
ends. At the ANs low-cost optoelectronic technologies (simplified hardware and
reduced power consumption configurations) will be investigated, for example
based in the use of electro-absorption transceivers and Asymmetric FPM.
The proposed CS-AN link configuration is compliant with core network
technologies such as DWDM and optical packet-switching. The offered bandwidth
allows the provision of multiservice and multiband applications satisfying
future requirements of access networks to cope with the expected evolution of
user and application requirements. Other feasible application is the
implementation of disaster recovery infrastructure. One of the main targets of GANDALF
is to identify on-going standards that employ modulation formats that are
suitable to be employed both at BB/IF and RF frequency bands, such as DOCSIS or
DVB-S, or to provide prospects to allow this heterogeneous functionality. Once
pairs of such standards/technologies are identified, their simultaneous
provision at BB/IF and RF and interoperability will be demonstrated both in a
lab platform and under a small field-trtext.

The MOME cluster offers a platform for
knowledge and tool exchange and for co-ordination of activities in the field of
IP monitoring and measurement between current (FP5) and upcoming (FP6) IST
projects and other European partners. Many projects include monitoring and
measurement components for traffic engineering, billing and accounting,
security, etc. To avoid double work/funding and to improve the strength by
synergetic knowledge transfer, common activities in-between these projects are
required. This will be advanced by interoperability testing of monitoring and
measurement components of different projects and afterwards collecting
monitoring and measurement data in a common format in a measurement database.
Collected data will be made accessible for the community over the Internet via
simple interfaces for e.g. mathematical and statistical analyses. Monitoring
and measurement related contributions to standardisation bodies like IETF from
the participating projects will be co-ordinated by the MOME
cluster. The activities will be supported by the organisation of public
workshops and conferences within the field of monitoring and measurement.

local networks - Lab trials. The concepts of MUSE will be
validated for three end-to-end deployment scenarios: - Migration scenario
featuring a hybrid access network of ATM and packet (Ethernet, IP) network
elements and CPE with embedded service awareness and application enablers; -
Non-legacy scenario showing access nodes, various first mile solutions, and CPE
that are optimised for native Ethernet and IPv6 throughout the home and access
network; - FTTx scenarios integrating new concepts for access technologies -
VDSL, optical access, and feeders for wireless services -, and service-aware
CPE. The expected impact and results are: - Consensus about the future access
and edge network by major operators and vendors in Europe. -
Pre-standardisation work and joined position in standardisation bodies, - Proof
of concept demonstrators and lab trials by operators.

To achieve the strategic goal of broadband for all an
appropriate optical core/metro network infrastructure is required to aggregate
end-users communication traffic and ensure an end-to-end transport with the
desired level of quality. The main goal of the IP NOBEL is to
carry out analyses, feasibility studies and experimental validations of
innovative network solutions and technologies for intelligent and flexible
optical networks, thereby enabling broadband for all. Specifically, the main
objectives are: to define network architectures, evolutionary guidelines and a
roadmap for core/metro optical transport networks towards intelligent data
centric solutions (e.g. ASON/GMPLS); to identify main drivers for the evolution
of core and metro optical networks supporting end-to-end broadband services and
to derive technical requirements; to study efficient traffic/network
engineering and resilience strategies in multi-layer/domain/service networks
and interworking issues; to assess and describe social and techno-economie
aspects regarding the deployment of network solutions and technologies for
intelligent and flexible optical networks; to evaluate solutions for providing

Power Line Communication (PLC) is a broadband
telecommunication technology able to use the electricity networks for data
transmission purposes, allowing any user connected to the power grid to benefit
from a great number of services easily and avoiding expensive and pollutant new
wiring. The strategic objective of this proposal is to offer low-cost broadband
access service to ALL European citizens using the most ubiquitous
infrastructure, Power Lines. Overcoming all barriers that prevent today PLC
from being a mass commercial technology that competes effectively with existing
technologies through the development of a new PLC generation integrated with
existing backbone technologies and EMC full compliant. All efforts will be
focused on obtaining: an improved performance in transmission speed, a ready-
to-sell and low-cost products, a complete system specification, an unique
international regulation, full inter-operability with existing back haul and
in-home technologies and a higher market share.
OPERA will contribute to develop the European Information Society
in concordance with the proposed objectives in the plan eEurope 2005 by:
- Increase of competition in access network: PLC networks can be quickly and
easily deployed without large investments due to the re-utilisation of
electricity networks. PLC is an alternative, competitive, ubiquitous solution
for access and in-house distribution that will contribute to have a real
alternative "last-mile" access network;
- Fostering Mass Services availability: PLC features such as transparent
integration with different technologies and complete end-user coverage will
contribute to the deployment of value-added-services over broadband such as:
smart home, video streaming, e-health, telephony, tele-surveillance etc;
- European Industry Leadership: PLC technology know-how is currently placed in
Europe. It represents an extraordinary opportunity for the development,
competitiveness and text truncated for the purposes.

SATLIFE stands for
Satellite Access Technologies: Leading Improvements For Europe. This project
will be the first and unique R&D project in the world including in its
activities work with a real (and first) multimedia on-board processor, the
AMERHIS system, based on the satellite standards DVB-RCS and DVB-S. The AMERHIS
is going to be launched in early 2004 by HISPASAT.
SATLIFE will strategically respond to the imperative need of
facilitating the development of a broadband for all access by means of
significantly enhancing the state-of-the-art of DVB-RCS satellite standard
solutions, with focus on regenerative and the compatibility with transparent
systems, while integrating them with other terrestrial alternatives in the
implementation of the Information Society.
This ambitious and innovative R&D project starts from the successful
IST-2000-25091 IBIS Project. Thanks to IBIS, which defined and studied this
first multimedia on-board processor system, it has derived on a real solution
embarked on the next HISPASAT's satellite, a programme running under the ESA-AMERHIS
Project which will bring the first multimedia on-board system in the world
based on the DVB-RCS/DVB-S standards.
SATLIFE consortium will ensure the integration of all the R&D
effort carried out in IBIS and AMERHIS by including all the expertise and
partners participating in these two projects. The Consortium has been further
complemented with the incorporation of relevant and complementary companies.
SATLIFE has planned to perform real trials of the challenging
R&D activity focused mainly on the first satellite with a DVB-RCS processor
in the world (the AMERHIS). In addition, a pilot DVB-RCS transparent platform
will be used. End users will be integrated in both cases.

The main objective of this project is to develop and
integrate advanced access technologies for delivery of "true"
broadband content over Ethernet based networks to the customer premises. It
aims at quadrupling the total bandwidth available to the end user.
The Scientific and Technological objectives:
1. Develop a physica
2. Generic framework for bonding coding and noise cancellation for information
transmitted over multiple copper pairs To enable the development of the physica
U-BROAD contributions will include:
- Novel noise cancellation and vectoring techniques for single carrier
modulation;
- Advanced coding including space-time codes over copper;
- Advanced spectrum management techniques for dynamic bandwidth allocation to
the different users supporting high throughput and QoS constrains. In order to
assess the capacity of multi channel copper system channel it will be necessary
to perform channel estimation and modelling of multi pair crosstalk. This
modelling should take into account the vectored nature of the interference,
which is the basis for the high performance gain potential of vectored
transmission techniques. 3. Utilizing the "Ultra High Speed DSL" for
connecting legacy, video and next generation services to existing and future
infrastructure. The main benefits of such technology are: - Reducing expenditures
with short Rentum on Investment by leveraging the existing access
infrastructure, supporting future, ultra high-speed technologies. - Providing a
variety of services, such as data, voice and video on the same access lines. -
High bandwidth and text truncated for the purposes of the ESR
