TU Berlin

Since 2004 the “Next Generation Networks (NGN)” chair, part of the Institute for Telecommunication Systems within the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences, at the Technische Universität Berlin (TUB) and Fraunhofer FOKUS (Institute for Open Communication Systems), especially FOKUS’ competence center for Next Generation Network Infrastructures (NGNI) are closely cooperating in the field of M2M, NGNs and Future Internet (FI) technologies, continuously evolving NGNs toward the FI (NGN2FI).

Focusing more on fundamental research topics, where early ideas and concepts are analyzed and evaluated, our team from TUB provides a rich pool of prototype developments and state-of-the-art expertise. Within the NGN2FI Evolution Lab, cutting edge FI mechanisms are continuously tested and applied to NGN systems and platforms, thus fostering the evolution of NGNs towards the FI.

Together with our strategic partners in industry, research and government environments we consequently and successfully realize the technology evolution cycle from fundamental research, to applied research to pre-product testbed deployments and trials.
