Open for use (under well defined engagement rules), vendor-neutral, flexible (in terms of capabilities) networked test bed infrastructure, which will enable: ØExperimentation & Prototyping
(under as much as possible »real-world« conditions);
ØEarly standard validation & field test;
ØUse of standardized test methodologies well accepted by the industry;
ØFacilitate the cooperation and interoperability testing in multi-vendor, multi-SDO environment;
ØSpeed-up the production of testing standards;
ØFacilitate the exchange of the knowledge & expertise between ETPs and SDOs.

““Marie-Curie R&D Marie-Curie R&D mobility program” that will:
• facilitate the exchange of knowledge and experiences bw. Research Inst., SDOs and Industry partners
• enable more efficient use of resources (e.g. standardization experts, …)
• facilitate the use of standardized test methods. & industry practice at research inst. providing quality feedback to SDOs.

Summary
Key issues in ETP/SDO relationship: Key issues in ETP/SDO relationship: Early detection and forward of standardizations scope; Early availability of open (even draft) specifications in the development
phase; Providing interoperability of new ETP deliverables with existing
technologies and deliverables from other initiatives; Providing ETP’s quality feedback about the validation/use of open
specifications; Proposals to address these issues: Proposals to address these issues:
Set-up of flexible, open, vendor-neutral networked testbed infrastructure for experimentation, prototyping, standard validation for complex ICT technologies (e.g. NGN/IMS);
Facilitating the RTD human resources mobility enabling more efficient utilization of RTD resources for production of open standards;
Actions taken:Actions taken: ETSI and SINTESIO initiatives to setup interoperability testing
infrastructure for IMS and NGN technologies (partnership program with ntw. operators, NGN equip. vendors, test equip.vendors, research institutions and SDos).
