Workpackage WP1

Management and project execution assessment

WP1 is aimed at performing coordination of the project according to FIVER Workplan. Proper project development is evaluated in terms of timely accomplishment of the project goals.

The technical coordination will be done within each technical work package.

Leader: UPVLC

Workpackage WP2

Integrated FTTH, in-building optical and radio network architecture

WP2 addresses the FIVER network architecture and the overall project specification. FIVER architecture integrates the fibre-to-the-home optical access part, the in-house fibre distribution and the short/medium range radio link to establish the user communication. The different service requirements are translated to the network architecture in this workpackage. The functional requirements are translated to network architecture and specifications taking into account the novel techniques herein proposed and the technology state-of-the-art at the time of starting the project.

Leader: UPVLC
Participants: UPVLC, PTIN, CORNING, UESSEX, TCF, HTW, EIT+, IT

Workpackage WP3

Coexistence and centralised impairment compensation

This workpackage addresses the development of the required techniques and processing algorithms for the centralised implementation of transmission impairment compensation techniques.

Leader: HTW
Participants: UPVLC, PTIN, CORNING, UESSEX, TCF, HTW, EIT+, IT

Workpackage WP4

Central Office-to-user network management

WP4 addresses the management of the integrated FIVER network. FIVER develops a streamlined network architecture in which quintuple play services are provided from a central location. The streamlined FIVER architecture transmits the signals from the Central Office to the customer premises and back without format conversion, re-modulation and/or up/down-frequency conversion stages.

Leader: PTIN
Participants: UPVLC, PTIN, UESSEX, TCF, HTW, DAS

Workpackage WP5

Digital signal processing, optical and electro-optical transmission subsystems

WP5 addresses the hardware developments of the project. The integrated FIVER network architecture requires the development of several optical, electro-optical and digital signal processing sub-systems located within FIVER architecture.

Leader: DAS
Participants: UPVLC, PTIN, CORNING, UESSEX, TCF, HTW, IT, DAS

Workpackage WP6

Technology demonstration and functionalities assessment

A laboratory platform for demonstration and feasibility assessment of the architectures developed in FIVER will be done in WP6. This laboratory platform will be available during the second and third years of the project for test trial the FIVER functionalities.

Leader: UPVLC
Participants: UPVLC, PTIN, CORNING, UESSEX, TCF, HTW, EIT+, IT, DAS

Workpackage WP7

Technology tracking, regulation, standardization, dissemination and market introduction

This workpackage fosters the technology visibility and market introduction of the different architectures and technologies developed in the project. Due to the rapid advances of technologies in this project, a continuous tracking of different exploitation opportunities is required during the complete project.

Dissemination of the project results and regulation activities are another key objectives of the project.
