EUREKA Cluster – SUSTAINET Guardian – Guided utilities for automation, resilience, and Digital innovation in advanced networks
FY 2025-26 · 2025-10-01
Summary
Acentury will participate with consortium partners to research and create a process for creating “digital twins” for communication networks, also known as “Network Digital Twins” or NDTs.
The NDT will replicate a physical network, allowing for testing, optimization and simulation of network activity in a virtual environment. The purpose of the NDT / LAMTA integration is for operators to use "LAMTA NDT" to test their networks virtually, without always needing a physical lab.
Acentury will leverage our expertise in network element configuration, deployment and testing to generate customer specific NDTs that support a wide range of use cases.

Description (French)
Acentury participera avec ses partenaires du consortium à la recherche et à la création d’un processus de création de « jumeaux numériques » pour les réseaux de communication, également appelés « Network Digital Twins » ou NDT. Le NDT reproduira un réseau physique, permettant de tester, d’optimiser et de simuler l’activité du réseau dans un environnement virtuel. L’intégration NDT / LAMTA a pour objectif de permettre aux opérateurs d’utiliser LAMTA NDT pour tester leurs réseaux de manière virtuelle, sans avoir toujours besoin d’un laboratoire physique. Acentury mettra à profit son expertise en matière de configuration, de déploiement et de test d’éléments de réseau pour générer des NDT spécifiques aux clients qui prennent en charge un large éventail de cas d’utilisation.
