Doubl<strong>in</strong>g the broadband speed for an economy<br />
<strong>in</strong>creases GDP by 0.3%, which is equivalent to<br />
$126 billion <strong>in</strong> the OECD region. This <strong>growth</strong> stems<br />
from a comb<strong>in</strong>ation of direct, <strong>in</strong>direct and <strong>in</strong>duced<br />
effects. Direct and <strong>in</strong>direct effects provide a short<br />
to medium term stimulus to the economy. The<br />
<strong>in</strong>duced effect, which <strong>in</strong>cludes the creation of new<br />
services and bus<strong>in</strong>esses, is the most susta<strong>in</strong>able<br />
dimension, and could represent as much as one<br />
third of the mentioned GDP <strong>growth</strong>. If broadband<br />

Applied research on broadband<br />

systems to <strong>in</strong>crease overall<br />
system and network performance,<br />
funded <strong>in</strong> national<br />
and EU projects, e.g.:<br />
SaSER focus<strong>in</strong>g on save and<br />
secure rout<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
IDEALIST focus<strong>in</strong>g on transport<br />
systems enabl<strong>in</strong>g flexible<br />
transmission and switch<strong>in</strong>g<br />
of 400 Gbps and beyond per<br />
channel.<br />
ASTRON focus<strong>in</strong>g on adaptive<br />
software def<strong>in</strong>ed terabit<br />
transceivers.<br />
GALACTICO focus<strong>in</strong>g on<br />
TbE <strong>in</strong>tegrated coherent<br />
transmitters and receivers.<br />
Development of further concepts to<br />
<strong>in</strong>crease overall network performance<br />
with respect to capacity, speed, power<br />
consumption, security and flexibility<br />
with the focus on:<br />
n Concepts for a next generation of<br />
100/400 Gbps transponders with<br />
lower power consumption, smaller<br />
form factor, and lower cost<br />
n Concepts for system architectures<br />
to deliver up to 1 Tbps per channel<br />
and up to 1 Pbps per fibre <strong>in</strong> the<br />
core/metro network<br />
n Concepts for contention-less<br />
ROADMs capable to handle Tbpssignals<br />
<strong>in</strong> a flexi-grid environment<br />
n New concepts for elastic bandwidth<br />
allocation, switch<strong>in</strong>g and<br />
resource defragmentation; concepts<br />
for virtualisation of network<br />
resources<br />
n Software-def<strong>in</strong>ed network control,<br />
approaches towards cognitive and<br />
self-managed optical networks,<br />
solutions for network programmability<br />
on application level<br />
