ESTIMED

The ESTIMED project, carried out by the ETSI Specialist Task Force 685 (STF 685), is financed by EC/EFTA

What We Do.

The ESTIMED project is bringing together user and industry supply side perspectives, starting with an assessment of promising use cases and related requirements. From these, the project team is focusing on PoC implementations (with software made available open-source) and standardization activities (including interoperability tests) that will enable global scale in the market. The project impact to facilitate adoption will be ensured by alignment with the ecosystem (e.g. MetaOS and open-source communities), by testing application ideas and identify innovative uses through developer hackathons. Finally, the ESTIMED project includes outreach activities such educational tutorials, webinars and publications on professional media and trade-press sites.

How we do it.

The overall project approach, depicted in the figure below, consists in a three-phases project, where in Phase 1 (the first year) the ESTIMED activities (starting from the assumptions from the ETSI WP and the present project proposal) will produce a set of Requirements and ESTIMED system design and specifications, relevant for the Phase 2, which in the second year will produce more mature PoCs implementations (also based on Hackathons results), and standard reports specifications. The last year, the Phase 3 will deliver the final standards (and related interoperability tests) together with final PoC implementations (also with open-source software).
