OASE

The OASE Integrated Project will examine Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH) within a multi-disciplinary study to provide a self-consistent and coherent set of technological and business solutions. The OASE project federates partners from all over Europe and is composed of major operators, industrial leaders in FTTH technologies, and European universities.

Acreo contributes with its broad competence in open access networks, techno-economics analysis, and end-to-end network control and management.

Acreo to map the broadband situation in Sweden

In order to give an accurate description of the current broadband situation in Sweden, Acreo has decided to conduct an independent analysis. The survey will be carried out in spring 2011 and it will focus on the deployment and availability of new broadband networks, mainly fibre-based, how these are developed in the country's different municipalities and housing companies.

Objectives

• Study current and future requirements for NG-OA networks from economic, business, operational and regulatory Europe-centric perspectives,
• Identify possible network architectures, and employ a set of energy-efficiency metrics and models to analyse their suitability, as well as assess the most appropriate migration strategies,
• Identify network technologies that may be employed by using relevant cost and technical factors,
• Examine the interactions between businesses in an “open network” marketplace by studying how increased convergence may offer new value chains and business opportunities,
• Validate the findings of the comparative merits for the identified network architectures and technologies in a controlled environment via experimental testing.
