The TRANSNET Programme is a collaboration between the Optical Networks Group (ONG) at °×С½ãÂÛ̳, Aston University and the University of Cambridge. Its aim is to create an adaptive, intelligent optical network, providing capacity when and where it is needed to transform the next-generation digital communications infrastructure.

This will be through the development of intelligent, self-driving transceivers and machine learning techniques tailored to optical networks operating in the nonlinear regime.ÌýThe research goal is to introduce intelligence into optical networks - maximising performance, whilst also increasing robustness to future, as yet unknown, requirements.

The programme started in 2018 and will continue until 2024. Find out more below.
