Objetivo
This project was concerned with the research and development of a local area wideband communication system for broad sites. The prototype system produced meets the anticipated communication requirements of large industrial scientific and administrative organisations. The project took into account data, text, voice and graphics communication requirements and the need to provide backbone networks and gateways for heterogeneous LANs.
The project was concerned with the research and development of a local area wideband communication system for broad sites. The prototype system produced meets the anticipated communication requirements of large industrial scientific and administrative organizations. The project took into account data, text, voice and graphics communication requirements and the need to provide backbone networks and gateways for heterogeneous local area networks (LAN).
The project covered the design, implementation and prototype testing of a multimedia (data, voice, image) high performance communications infrastructure with the following characteristics:
backbone data rate of 140 Mbit/s on optical fibre;
2 Mbit/s full duplex data access rate;
broad site coverage of typically 100 km;
interconnection to LANs of various topologies and access protocols;
gateways to public networks;
video conferencing support;
message handling system with extended messaging services;
compatibility with existing and emerging standards of the local area networks (ISO-OSI) reference model.
A pilot system with 12 nodes has been successfully put into operation at the Sart-Tilman campus of the Universite de Liege.
