The SODALES project (Software-Defined Access using Low-Energy Subsystems) aims to revolutionize wireless access by developing a novel service that provides transparent transport for fixed and mobile users, supporting 10Gbps fixed access and advanced radio technologies like LTE. Key innovations include the Active Remote Node for seamless aggregation and interfacing, cost-effective 10Gbps customer premises equipment (CPE), and a comprehensive management plane with open-access capabilities for multi-operator environments. With a budget of €2.6M and a consortium of five partners, this 36-month project is poised to enhance network architecture significantly.

Project overview • The SOftware-Defined Access using Low-Energy Subsystems (SODALES) project aims to develop a novel wireless access interconnection service that offers transparent transport services (syncE based) for fixed and mobile subscribers to support 10Gbps fixed access and LTE and beyond radio technologies on a convergent network architecture. • SODALES key developments are: • Active Remote Node (ARN) that provides aggregation and radio interfacing for fixed and mobile subscribers • Low cost 10Gbps CPE for FTTH and fixed radio access • Advanced control and management plane with open-access and multi-operator functionalities • Project data • Duration 36 months • Total budget 2.603.447EUR • Grant request 1.989.000EUR • # of partners 5 • Person months 261
Novel approach • SODALES network architecture • FTTH promotes passive outside plants because those are simpler to maintain. • SODALES takes the opposite approach, taking advantage of RBS powering to develop an intermediate aggregation point (ARN: Active Remote Node). • Control and Management Plane will offer • end-to-end control and management features in a multi-operator approach • open-access to offer standardized interfaces to provision and manage end-to-end services
SODALES architecture • Outside plant
Industry driven • The use of off-the-shelf components will reduce the time-to-market of the developments. • Business and industrial opportunities are focused on three different aspects: • low cost CPEs for fixed access with fiber and radio interfaces offering 10G fixed access to end users with Metro Ethernet OAM features. • Active Remote Node with advanced switching features. • Control plane featuring open-access and multi-operator functionalities to provision end-to-end services and manage OAM parameter
