1. The Acreo National Broadband Test bed - joint initiative
   A high technology meeting place
2. Broadband Access networks - a wide range of technolgy choices
   A broadband network logically breaks down in several discrete parts. On a high level we talk about home, access and core networks.
3. Acreo demonstrates long-haul optical transport at 40 Gbit/s
   Field test shows 40 Gbit/se long-haul transmission ready for deployment.
4. Acreo highlights GMPLS
   Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) is a new technology adding increased possibilities for dynamical multi-layer control to service providers and operators networks.
5. A multiservice interactive network - the facilitator for communication
   At the Acreo test bed 170 test pilots (contracted end-users) are testing the new technique in a real environment, and give their opinion of the functionality of new solutions and services. The test pilots constitute a representative picture of society, living in in the country side as well as in detached houses and apartments in a city environment.
6. Optical Communication Research - still full of promises!
   Highlights from the European Conference on Optical Communication ECOC 2004 in Stockholm, organised by KPRC.
