Imagine a super-highway for data that connects universities and labs across the world. It's like having a private, high-speed lane that lets scientists move massive amounts of information instantly and safely. This ensures that a researcher in one country can work on a project with a colleague across the globe as if they were in the same room.
Researchers and students often face bottlenecks in data transfer and insecure authentication when collaborating globally. This prevents the efficient exchange of massive datasets required for modern science.
A secure, pan-European high-speed network infrastructure. It includes Terabit connectivity, identity management services, and prototypes for above-the-net services.
If you are an identity provider dealing with fragmented user authentication across borders — this project developed distributed trust and identity infrastructure that enables secure, pervasive access to data sources. This allows for seamless authentication using standards like eIDAS.
If you are a data center operator dealing with bandwidth bottlenecks for scientific workloads — this project developed Terabit connectivity and backbone networks in multiples of 100Gbps. This ensures unconstrained capacity to handle the most demanding data transfers.
If you are a quantum tech firm dealing with the need for secure key distribution — this project addressed the integration of Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) into the network. This provides a foundation for ultra-secure communication channels.
Based on available project data, the project focused on achieving economies on the costs of the backbone network, but specific commercial pricing for end-users is not listed.
Yes, the project delivers Terabit connectivity and backbone access in multiples of 100Gbps, indicating a high capacity for industrial-scale data movement.
Based on available project data, the project involves 44 partners and focuses on open science and shared infrastructure, but specific licensing terms are not provided.
The project integrates with authentication and authorization infrastructure services, specifically mentioning eIDAS for trusted access.
The project period is from 2023-01-01 to 2024-12-31.
The consortium is highly diverse, comprising 44 partners across 38 countries. While it is dominated by research (16) and other organizations (19), it includes 7 SMEs and 2 industry partners, showing a strong lean toward public-sector infrastructure with a 5% industry ratio. This structure suggests the project is designed for wide-scale institutional adoption rather than a narrow commercial product launch.
