FanTaaStic: FUSECO Playground and OneLab

FanTaaStic is a project of EIT ICT Labs, the mission of which is to drive European leadership in ICT innovation for economic growth and quality of life. The handshake between EIT ICT Labs and DG Connect focuses on taking selected test beds to market, opening them up to new user segments, especially small business

Fed4FIRE

Fed4FIRE focuses on federating FIRE facilities using a common federation framework to enable innovative, ground-breaking experiments. There are currently 17 testbeds involved in the Fed4FIRE federation, bringing a diverse set of Future Internet technologies.

INFINITY and XiPi

Now completed, the INFINITY project has brought to the future internet landscape a number of achievements and services:

OFELIA -Open Access

OFELIA creates an experimentation space that enables the flexible integration of test and production traffic by isolating traffic domains inside the OpenFlow-enabled network equipment. This provides realistic test scenarios and permits the seamless deployment of successfully tested technology.

OneLab

OpenLab delivers the ingredients to build an open, general purpose, shared experimental facility enabling European businesses and higher education institutions to innovate and assess the performance of their solutions. It builds and improves on successful FIRE prototypes in terms of scale and diversity.

SUNRISE

SUNRISE is a new FIRE facility that aims to provide tools for the unprecedented monitoring and exploration of marine environments, extending the concept of the Future Internet, specifically the Internet of Things, to the underwater world.
