SFERA – STRUCTURAL FUNDS FOR EUROPEAN REGIONAL ADVANCEMENT

Описание

The major objective of SFERA is to support Member States and Regions for the utilization of Structural Funds (SF) by identifying new opportunities for sustainable growth by means of ICT R&D investments, particularly in the development of satellite and hybrid based broadband networks. SFERA is a Support Action (CSA) intended to study the current situation of European regions affected by the new EC Recommendation on how to use the SF. After studying these regions’ situation SFERA would make recommendations on usage cases, considering the plurality of scenarios Regions throughout Europe. SFERA will center its efforts in the optimization of satellite and hybrid based broadband solutions, likely two pillars: aggregation of demand and efficient interconnection with terrestrial networks. A significant part of these underserved regions can be covered in the next few years if hybrid solutions made of terrestrial (fixed and wireless/cellular) systems and satellite-based technologies are deployed at a wide scale, and - if the demand is properly aggregated - to make it more visible and concrete for investors.
