Objective
NETAPDEX is a support, co-ordination and dissemination project, that promotes network usage for European industry and research organizations. It represents multiple member projects from the ESPRIT HPCN "Preparatory, Support and Transfer Activities" specifically oriented towards "High Performance Networking Best Practice and Experiments". Companies both large and small, especially those involved in advanced industrial research, are now testing a variety of network technologies with a view to enhancing their competitiveness.
NETAPDEX member projects experiment with new ways of working enabled by technologies such as ISDN, ATM, etc. and the Internet on top. A NETAPDEX prime task is to transfer practical experience to the industrial sector, as well as to operators, service providers and decision-makers, in order to consolidate experience and stimulate new activities in the field of European and world wide networking. It is becoming increasingly important to prepare professional users to take advantage of the new opportunities that will emerge as a result of the full liberalisation of the telecom market in 1998.
The gathering and dissemination of concrete experience gained in many projects will help other business sectors to determine their own networking needs and expected benefits. They should also smooth the transition from pilot schemes to full blown operational implementations. To establish a broad basis of experience NETAPDEX has been built to gather further input, e.g. form other networking based projects in Europe. Therefore NETAPDEX has been opening relationships with activities such as the Technology Transfer Network (TTN) and is actively seeking further contacts.
Based on the gained experiences NetApdex will express organisational, regulatory and financial requirements of the industrial user community towards providers and regulators.
