ACRONYM:	MUSE
BUDGET:	27.778.875 €
FUNDING:	15.500.000 €
INSTRUMENT:	Integrated Project
PROGRAMME:	FP6-IST


The overall objective of MUSE is the research and development of a future, low cost, multi-service access network. The access network should provide secure connectivity between end-user terminals and edge nodes in a multi-provider environment. It should be suited for the ubiquitous delivery of broadband services to every European citizen. The integrated project addresses the network architecture, access nodes, first mile solutions and interworking of the residential gateway with the access network. A first phase of the project was granted in the first call of FP6. During the second phase, MUSE will bring the results of the first phase to standardisation and evaluate them in integrated lab trials. The project will furthermore investigate new topics like the impact of fixed mobile convergence and the value added support of multimedia services on a fixed access architecture. The expected impact and results of the project are a consensus about the future access and edge network by major operators and vendors in Europe, pre-standardisation work aiming at a joint position in standards bodies, as well as proof of concept demonstrators and lab trials.
