Smart European Networks for Sensing the Environment and Internet quality - Ref. 92/26/IR

EURAXESS hosting organisation · Multiple European countries

The project will develop tools and methods to operate global telecommunication networks as large-scale distributed sensors. We will create sensitive, high-resolution photonic techniques to measure optical-cable deformation interferometrically using low-phase-noise lasers, integrating these sources on chip to overcome the bulk, cost, and scalability limits of current systems. In parallel, we will design a network architecture that exposes sensing elements to the control layer and converts their data into actionable information. This will support sustainable resource use, self-healing through early fault detection, and rapid responses to hazards affecting people and critical infrastructure. Combining expertise in optical networks, photonics, seismology, and network operation, the consortium
