Relevant trials for Corporate Network Managers

The ACTS programme contains a large number of practical trials of advanced

communications, many of them involving real users. The list below highlights those which are
most relevant for Corporate Network Managers.

More information on any of the trials being run by these projects can be found by following the
links below. There are three types of report available, although not all types are yet available
for all projects. The reports are, in order of usefulness as an introduction to the results
relevant to this sector:

• A summary report of the trial results written by the ACTSLINE project (in the “S”
column in the list).

• A more detailed report of the trial results written by the ACTSLINE project (in the “F”
column in the list).

• A report of the trial results from the InfoWin web site (in the “I”column in the list)

Where no report is identified for a particular project, the InfoWin web site
http://www.infowin.org will give you general information on the project and its plans for
carrying out trials.
