Fifty researchers from around the world share today at the Polytechnic University Cartagena (UPCT) ideas to overcome the technological challenge of offering increasingly better Internet connections to more people.
"The evolution to the fifth generation (5G) mobile network, with up to one gigabit per second speed and high definition viewing videos requires a network transformation," warned Juan Pedro Fernandez, head of the division Core and Transport Evolution of Telefónica, during the first conference of the twentieth International Conference on design and modeling Optical Network (ONDM 2016), coordinated by the researcher UPCT Pablo Pavon and developed in the Graduate hall School Higher technical Telecommunication Engineering (ETSIT).
"To give broadband metropolitan and long distance adding data traffic networks are needed," said the expert Telefonica.
"The aim is to optimize networks to make them more efficient and affordable extend the 5G network to everyone," he added, pointing as problem solving coverage dispersed populations in towns such as Murcia and Cartagena.
"The UPCT reference is an international leader in algorithm design and planning of optical networks for data transport," said Fernandez.
"At Telefónica we use the tool 'open source' Net2Plan created by the Polytechnic University of Cartagena, which allows us to share algorithms with other companies in the industry and researchers," he exemplified.
Among those attending the conference include also experts from prestigious universities Stanford and Massachusetts (MIT) and large technology companies like Facebook and Telefonica.
