main goal:
QAMeleon designs and delivers a new generation of SDN-programmable photonic components, modules and subsystems, employing sliceability as a means of optimizing resource utilization and cutting operator costs by >30%. All necessary SDN software extensions, plugins and application interfaces are being developed, providing a complete functional SDN framework for the sliceable “white box” subsystems. QAMeleon’s devices will be validated in scalable demonstrators at Nokia’s lab infrastructure and on TIM’s deployed regional network fiber plant.
nextworks role:
Leader of the design and implementation of the SDN solution for sliceable transponders and ROADM (OpenFlow agents, extentions to OpenDaylight SDN controller for spectral slicing).
other key partners:
ICCS/NTUA (GR), Nokia Bell Labs (FR), Telecom Italia (IT), Finisar (DE, SE), Technische Universiteit Eindhoven (NL)
