Project overview • The SOftware-Defined Access using Low-Energy Subsystems (SODALES) project aims to develop a novel wireless access interconnection service that offers transparent transport services (syncE based) for fixed and mobile subscribers to support 10Gbps fixed access and LTE and beyond radio technologies on a convergent network architecture. • SODALES key developments are: • Active Remote Node (ARN) that provides aggregation and radio interfacing for fixed and mobile subscribers • Low cost 10Gbps CPE for FTTH and fixed radio access • Advanced control and management plane with open-access and multi-operator functionalities • Project data • Duration 36 months • Total budget 2.603.447EUR • Grant request 1.989.000EUR • # of partners 5 • Person months 261
Novel approach • SODALES network architecture • FTTH promotes passive outside plants because those are simpler to maintain. • SODALES takes the opposite approach, taking advantage of RBS powering to develop an intermediate aggregation point (ARN: Active Remote Node). • Control and Management Plane will offer • end-to-end control and management features in a multi-operator approach • open-access to offer standardized interfaces to provision and manage end-to-end services
SODALES architecture • Outside plant
Industry driven • The use of off-the-shelf components will reduce the time-to-market of the developments. • Business and industrial opportunities are focused on three different aspects: • low cost CPEs for fixed access with fiber and radio interfaces offering 10G fixed access to end users with Metro Ethernet OAM features. • Active Remote Node with advanced switching features. • Control plane featuring open-access and multi-operator functionalities to provision end-to-end services and manage OAM parameter
