European H2020 Project FLAME Kicks Off Call for Experiments
January 24 2017 - 4:15PM
InterDigital, Inc. (NASDAQ:IDCC), a mobile technology research and
development company, today announced that the European H2020
project, FLAME, will host its kick off on January 24 – 25, 2017 in
Southampton, U.K.
The FLAME project aims to establish a real-life, city-scale
environment for the experimentation of personalized, interactive,
mobile, and localized media experiments. The three-year project is
led by a consortium comprising twelve partners including University
of Southampton, Atos Spain, InterDigital Europe, i2CAT, University
of Bristol, Nextworks, Martel Innovate, VRT, The Walt Disney
Company, ETH Zurich, Institut Municipal D'Informática de Barcelona,
and Bristol is Open.
After its initial year of city-scale deployment, FLAME will seek
twenty-plus media-related experiments, spanning several months
throughout 2018 and 2019, funded through an open call to industrial
partners and SMEs. The experiments will utilize the FLAME Future
Media Internet platform with a Next Generation Network flexible
routing platform at its heart, deployed in the city environment of
Bristol is Open as well as in several potential replica sites
throughout the scope of the project.
Developed by InterDigital, the Next Generation Network flexible
routing platform is modeled after prototype efforts from two other
H2020 collaborative research and development projects, POINT ("iP
Over IcN - the betTer IP") and RIFE (aRchitecture for an Internet
For Everybody). In addition, the flexible routing platform is an
ongoing ETSI ISG MEC proof-of-concept and will be demonstrated at
the upcoming Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
“We’re very pleased to be a part of this reinvention of the
media ecosystem,” said Dirk Trossen, Principal Scientist of
InterDigital Europe, and lead of EU-funded efforts in this space.
“The project underscores the value in the development of a unique
network service solution, such as the flexible routing platform,
which utilizes ICN and SDN techniques to deliver on the content and
demand characteristics presented with future highly dynamic
networks.”
