DISCUS FP7 project launched

I am coordinating, together with David Payne a large European FP7 project called DISCUS.

The project goal is to exploit demonstrated technology and concepts needed to define and develop a new radical architectural concept that can enable an integrated wireless and FTTP future network which addresses the economic, energy consumption, capacity scaling, evolutionary, regulatory and service demand challenges arising from an FTTP enabled future.

You can find all information in the official website: http://www.discus-fp7.eu

The project was officially announced on January 9th by Irish minister for Communications Pat Rabbitte: http://www.discus-fp7.eu/?q=node/9
