This week representatives of ARCFIRE attended ETSI’s “From Research To Standardisation” Workshop at Sophia-Antipolis. The goal of the workshop was to bring together representatives from the research and the industrial communities, to jointly identify the components of research results which are best suitable for standardization and product development activities and to agree on specific next steps. In this context ARCFIRE presented how RINA can be utilized to build the next generation’s converged operator networks – any acccess, any application -, which is the core use case of the project. ARCFIRE already participates in standardisation activities within the context of ETSI’s Next Generation Protocols ISG.
