Concept & Objectives
•
Open Testbed Facility
– i2CAT EXPERIMENTA open testbed allows access to network resources as a service at different
network layers. Users can configure the network to fulfill their needs. The optical validation
platform is designed to support multivendor equipment.
•
Advanced Experimental Services
– i2CAT EXPERIMENTA platform offers multi-layer services to test network applications and devices
at different OSI layers on a real environment.
•
Infrastructure as a Service
– Physical network substrate is virtualized to offer virtual isolated slices to final users.
– Users can manage and configure their virtual substrate through a dedicated software tool which
deals with hardware particularities and manages concurrency.
•
Parallel disruptive validations and experiments
– By virtualizing the network, parallel disruptive tests are supported running above the same physical
infrastructure.
•
Promote an innovative environment to empower technology validation
– The collaborative platform environment promotes research, development and innovation between
public and private (PPP) entities.

These groups will be active to test and explore multi sectorial solutions and to add
knowledge to existing technologies from the end user point of view and experiences in day
to day situations
– Qualitative methodologies (ethnography) will be utilized to collect personal information
from end users on daily uses of mobile devices and solutions
– Research design focused on users
– Creation and dinamization of user groups
– Exploration of the uses of technology users
– Collection of user requirements from technologies their explore
– Co-design of technologies with users
– Collection of requirements and demand of new technology
– Mentoring and consulting on Living Labs creation
– Fostering of thematic living labs (microlivinglabs)
– Workshops and activities on knowledge of the environtment, creativity and
entrepreneurship
