Nobel is a project funded by the European Community under the sixth framework program, focused on the strategic objective Broadband for All.
The UPC is one of the partners of the project, through research groups on optical technologies of the departments of Computer Architecture and Signal Theory. The objective of the work carried out by inLab within Nobel is to design, develop, implement and maintain the program’s website and intranet. A stand-alone reporting tool was also requested, i.e. to easily design and integrate reports within the applications.
The Nobel project started in February 2004 and continued until February 2008. It has been divided into two phases: Nobel and Nobel 2. In both phases the project has tried to carry out analysis, feasibility studies, experimental activities on innovative architectures and technological solutions to support optical networks.
The Nobel consortium comprises a large number of telecommunications industries, network operators and research institutes from all over Europe. We could highlight companies such as Telecom, Alcatel, Ericsson, Siemens and Telefónica, and universities such as UCL in London, the Technological University of Budapest or the Politècnica de Catalunya.
