ABOUT N4C
N4C or “Networking for Communications Challenged Communities: Architecture, Test Beds and
Innovative Alliances” is a three year research project financed by the European Commission,
Seventh Framework Programme, coordinated by the LTU. N4C objectives are to develop and
test a broadband network with use of Delay and Disruption Tolerant Networking (DTN) access
technology and to evolve a test bed for applications in communication-challenged areas in
Swedish Lapland and in Slovenian mountain. In the network and the test bed, tests will be
carried out on user-driven applications, animal tracking including reindeer and cattle, hiker PDA
application and on the collection of meteorological data.
The Seventh Framework Programme for research and
technological development (FP7) is the European Union´s chief
instrument for funding research over the period 2007-2013.
