SFOOT - Development of single fibre data transport system

Objective

Current trends in IT require increasing data transfer speeds in fixed and mobile networks, cloud services and virtualization
that all require several high bandwidths communication channels to come closer to the end user. This need is not adequately
serviced by traditional two fibre data transport systems that are designed to create large backbone (country wide) transport systems with
high number of channels.

Xenya d.o.o. proposes a solution in data communication over optical fibre that will enable cost effective solutions of
transporting data for small to medium scale data transport systems that cover short to medium distances. The proposal
applies to: SMEInst-01-2016-2017: Open Disruptive Innovation Scheme programme.

Compared to the traditional systems that are built on a pair of optic fibres the proposed solution uses a single optic fibre.
Consequently, significant reduction in communication system complexity (less equipment, simpler design, simpler
implementation, higher reliability, effective network operation management) is achieved.

The economic impact of the solution on lower costs for data transport over optical fibres is evident at first sight but all
impacts are quite complex to de defined and have two aspects: the cost reduction and the consequent market growth. The
solution is targeting SMEs, as it allows the users to appropriately align the supporting IT and communication technology with
the business (right performance for affordable costs).

Estimated time for the development: 1,5 years
Funds requested: 0,9 million EUR

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
