FLAME

Project Activities

The platform will initially be deployed in the smart-cities of Bristol and Barcelona with advanced network access points located across the cities and will later be rolled out to three further cities in Europe through a competitive open call.

Consumers are increasingly watching audio-visual content through on-demand online services delivered in individual streams, and new multimedia applications such as immersive and mobile gaming are stretching the current network infrastructure and management systems beyond their limits.

FLAME will adapt to the needs of the users providing personalisation, interactivity, mobility and localisation. The network infrastructure will adapt to the Quality of Service (QoS) requirements of the users using mobile edge computing: moving content and services close to the audience. These capabilities will initially be developed with requirements from four trailblazing user-centric experiments led by VRT, Disney, Nextworks and ETH Zurich, and will later be tested and hardened through two rounds of competitive open calls with a budget of €2,000,000, which will bring in 30 additional partners.
