U2010
U2010 - Ubiquitous IP Centric Government & Enterprise Next Generation Networks, Vision 2010 is an Integrated Research Project of the 5th Call of the 6th European Research Frame Program coordinated by the University of Luxembourg, including 16 partners from 10 European Countries. U-2010 stands for ubiquitous IP centric Government & Enterprise Next Generation Networks Vision 2010 and its overall objective is to provide the most capable means of communication and the most effective access to information to everybody required to act in case of accident, incident, catastrophe or crisis, while using existing or future telecommunication infrastructures. The U-2010 project will address the public safety issues by researching new emergency and crisis management solutions investigating on innovative and state-of-the-art communication technologies based on the current and new Internet technologies (i.e. Internet Protocol version 6) that could be put to use and realize this vision. Technologies in operations and under evaluation provide an Enhancement of availability by:
a) interconnecting existing services and networks.
b) leveraging redundant communication channels.
c) using automatic redirection and/or service transfomation in case of failures.
d) using new research results in the area of wireless ad-hoc networks.
