Optical Networks: Towards Bandwidth Manageability and Cost Efficiency

The Network of Excellence (NoE) e-Photon/ONe+, funded by the European Commission, focuses on the 'Broadband for All' strategic objective of the IST 4th call of FP6, targeting network-oriented and system-oriented aspects of the optically enabled broadband. The project has been built upon the experience gained within the previous NoE e-Photon/ONe, funded within the IST 1st call of FP6.

The NoE consortium is composed by 40 partners coming from Turkey to Portugal, and integrates academic and industrial partners, including major system companies, important device manufacturers and European telecommunication operators.

The project co-ordinator is Politecnico di Torino. The project manager is Prof. Fabio Neri of the Electronics Department. He leads a research group on optical networks inside the Telecommunications Networks Group . The overall management of the project, regarding administrative, financial and legal issues, is carried out by the EU Affairs Office.

The private area of the e-Photon/ONe+ website is accessible only to people formally involved in the Network of Excellence.

In order to be granted access to the restricted area, personnel from participating institutions must be registered to the e1+ directory service and use the same username and password.

Calendar and Events

The e-Photon/ONe logo was selected with a web-based contest among project participants. The same logo is used for all NoE phases.
