SIG-NGN is the Special Interest Group on Next Generation Networks.

This meeting of the 8th meeting of the SIG will be held virtually.

Theme

"Reaching where the fibre can't"

In this meeting we will consider connectivity technology and services for environments and applications where optical networking not possible or economically feasible. The includes low earth orbit satellite (LEOSAT) , packet networking architectures for 5G, and other mobile technologies. We will consider both the technologies and their applications.

Low Orbit Satellites

Host: Lars Fischer (NORDUnet)

  • HydRON project - Josep Maria Perdigues Armengol (ESA)

    The ambition of the High thRoughput Optical Network (HydRON) project of European Space Agency (ESA) is to seamlessly extend terrestrial high-capacity networks into space. The concept aims to empower satellite networks by developing terrestrial networking capabilities and features, in order to interconnect all types of space assets by an “Internet backbone beyond the cloud(s)”. Concretely, HydRON will take advantage of space assets to complement terrestrial high-capacity networks, ultimately enabling the configuration of a worldwide and world-first 3-dimensional optical network interconnecting terrestrial networks with different (orbital) layers in GEO, MEO, LEO, and HAPS. The 3-dimensional optical network capabilities will revolutionize the SatCom sector and its related commercial business. This presentation will provide the current status of the planned HydRON Demonstration System (HydRON-DS) to be developed and launched by 2026. The HydRON-DS represents the initial stage serving the purpose to gradually demonstrate key technologies required to deploy a first (all) optical transport network at terabit-per-second capacity in space and the seamless extension of terrestrial fibre-based networks into space.
  • Data transport in LEO satellite constellations / RaQSaC- George Parisis (University of Sussex)
  • Q&A discussion (15')
16:05 - 16:55 ('55)

5G networks for R&E

Host: Mian Usman (GÉANT)

  • Faelix / CloudNet - Marek Isalski
  • Extending ESnet to the Wireless Edge: Lessons Learned - Andrew Wiedlea (ESnet): 

    Science is increasingly moving outside of the boundaries of laboratories and fixed site user facilities - the proliferation of IoT and sensing capabilities is creating new opportunities to measure and understand complex environmental and energy systems.  As the US Department of Energy's Research and Educational Network, ESnet started a program this year to study how we should integrate advanced wireless technologies and services into our capabilities.  This talk will discuss that effort, as well as early lessons learned.

  • Q&A discussion (15')
16:55 - 17:00 ('5)

Wrap up, Feedback, Summary and Next Steps - Rudolf Vohnout (CESNET)
