Research Goals The general objectives are to take
existing infrastructure in the wireless and optical communications research laboratories
of the University of Cyprus and to simultaneously upgrade both within the
framework of a single project. In particular, we aim to acquire
state-of-the-art equipment which will allow us to create modern communication
test-beds that are not possible with the existing infrastructure. The
development of novel networks combining optical and wireless interfaces in a
seamless and scalable fashion will allow Cyprus to (i) participate as an
effective partner in future European projects in Information and
Communications Technology (one of the key areas of FP7) and (ii) support the
development of local communications industry, by allowing them to test
different hybrid fiber/wireless networks. Specifically, the existence of a
local facility will enable companies and academic institutions to evaluate
new and emerging component technologies in a realistic environment, thus
leading to better informed choices of future network configurations. We also
expect that the test-bed will support a large number of interdisciplinary
projects between the partners that involve optoelectronics, microwave
engineering, network engineering, communication system modelling and
communication system testing.
