Infoshare: Fibre Sensing NREN SurveyFibre optic sensing is rapidly emerging as a powerful capability within research and education networks, enabling existing telecom infrastructure to be used as a large-scale environmental sensor, as well as supporting new applications for NRENs. This infoshare will present the results of a recent survey of NRENs, highlighting current activities and areas of interest across the community. The session will provide a high-level overview of fibre sensing technologies relevant to NRENs, share early insights and use cases, and explore opportunities for collaboration Orchestration, Automation and Virtualisation: Focusing on the userA successful digital transformation entails flexibility, efficiency, and self-service provisioning. In other words, a user-centric approach, which implies the usage of Orchestration, Automation and Virtualisation techniques (OAV). The OAV team in GN4-3 created several resources to help the NRENs in their journey to this digital transformation through OAV (Training, Wiki, Terminology, Blueprint, Mapping of Architectures for NRENs..) The goal of this session is to gather ideas for future work, presenting the existing resources together with use cases from the NRENs. The BoF is an opportunity for NRENs to come together to agree on common actions. Read more... |
