‘Open Ireland’, a €2 million research infrastructure to support advanced experimentation in communications networks, has been launched by CONNECT, the Science Foundation Ireland research centre for future networks, at Trinity College Dublin.
Dr Marco Ruffini, Associate Professor in Optical Network Architectures in the School of Computer Science and Statistics at Trinity, will manage the operation of the infrastructure which will include a dedicated jobs with a computer science degree connection between Trinity College Dublin and Dublin City University, as well as the deployment of macro and small cells to provide radio coverage. Funded primarily by Science Foundation Ireland’s ‘Research Infrastructure Programme’, additional contributions are expected from companies who will collaborate with academic researchers to explore new applications and services.
The testbed will take an end-to-end approach to the network, including wireless, optical and cloud-based research using open interfaces and open source. It will investigate intelligent control plane technology and protocols, and enable 100X scalability, exploring issues such as capacity, latency, availability, energy, and automation.
