Definition, Scope and Goals
Networld2020 is the European Technology Platform for the communication networks and services community, promoting public and private investment in R&D on communications networking research challenges in three domains:
• mobile and wireless,
• fixed and • satellite technologies.
• Merger of Net!works and Integral Satcom Initiative (ISI) ETPs
(Nov 2013).
• Re-branded in April 2014.

Economic importance of the telecoms sector (1/2)
• A strong European leadership in communication networks is important for Europe’s economy:
• In the European Union, ICT contributes to 50% of the economic growth (directly or indirectly).
• According to The Information Technology & Innovation Foundation, a $10 billion investment in 1 year in broadband networks would create almost 500 000 jobs in the US.
• 7 of the 10 largest telecoms operators in the world are from Europe.

Economic importance of the telecoms sector (2/2)
• In 2007 the ICT sector represented 1
• 4.8 % of GDP (€540 billion) • 3 % of total employment (6.1 million employees) • accounted for 25 % of overall business expenditure in R&D
and employed 32.4 % of all business sector researchers
• Major manufacturers in communications based in Europe
• Global figures of Alcatel-Lucent, Ericsson and Nokia (including Nokia Siemens Networks) 2
• Total R&D: 10.1 billion € in 2009 • Total sales: 76.3 billion € in 2009 • Total employees: 287.900

Success Stories: Raising Awareness
• Most successes from the European networking industry projects are “invisible” for general public: mobile communication standards, ADSL, optical broadband …
• European collaborative R&D projects have contributed in the development of
• the third-generation mobile systems, the most widely adopted system in the world, and
• the LTE and IMT-Advanced for broadband mobile.

Success stories
The development of the
GSM standard was part of
the early formation of the
European Union at the level
of technology and mobile
communications. For the
first time, a solution was
developed for Europe and
the world enabling users to
roam internationally using
only one phone. Europe
pooled its R&D, industrial
base and services to provide
the user with a mobile world
without national borders.
This initiative and the
further collaborative R&D
created a new generation
of technologists focused on
European and global needs.
The GSM group was formed
in 1982. GSM networks are
now accessible in more than
85% of the world’s land
area.
First commercially
introduced in 1991
1991 European research
projects developed the key
contributions to the 3G
UMTS standard in the ‘90’s.
3G systems provide users
with broadband multi-media
mobile communications,
including voice and video
services, mobile Internet
access, mobile TV services
and machine to machine
communications services.
Key Framework Programme
co-funded project:
FRAMES (FP 4)
First introduced in 2001
2001 European research projects
developed key contributions
to the LTE system in the
‘00’s. LTE provides high
speed mobile broadband
connectivity to laptops,
smart phones, tablet PC’s
and other mobile devices.
On-line gaming services,
streamed video and cloud
computing services are
brought to life by LTE.
The LTE service is already
commercially available in
Stockholm and is being
introduced widely in
European cities in 2011.
Key Framework Programme
co-funded projects:
WINNER (FP 6),
WINNER II (FP 6)
First introduced in 2010
2010 The technical basis for ultra
high speed broadband
and M2M communication
using energy efficient
techniques are research
challenges being addressed
in Framework Programme
7 projects at present.
European research has to
continue in Framework
Programme 8 to ensure
that European organisations
further develop their
leadership positions
in communications
technologies!
