The network of the future will not only be faster. It will have to, in some way, learn to know itself. Predict how it will react to an increase in traffic, detect an anomaly before it becomes a failure, understand where to shift resources and capacity. It is on this ground that Fibercop tries to expand the scope of its technological transformation, also relying on university research.

The fixed wholesale network company has started a collaboration with the University Federico II of Naples dedicated to the innovation of telecommunications infrastructures. The project involves CeSMA, the Center for Advanced Metrological and Technological Services of the university, and brings together artificial intelligence, Digital Twin, edge cloud, and quantum technologies in the same laboratory.
The heart of the program is precisely the Digital Twin: a virtual and dynamic copy of the real network on which to simulate behaviors, interventions, and evolutions. The model will have to integrate cloud and edge cloud infrastructures, 5G mobile networks and, prospectively, 6G, quantum communication systems, and cybersecurity tools. A sort of digital test bench on which to observe the infrastructure without having to intervene directly on the physical one.

For Fibercop, which manages the open access infrastructure to operators, the stakes are significant. If fiber represents the material backbone of the network, software and automation are progressively becoming its nervous system.
“The evolution of digital infrastructures requires close collaboration between companies, research, and training,” emphasizes Massimo Sarmi, president and CEO of Fibercop. “Artificial intelligence, Digital Twin, edge cloud, and quantum technologies will be decisive to create increasingly efficient and secure infrastructures.”
