Orange Labs and Inéov

"We aim at reinforcing our presence in the user-centrered innovations, and in Green IT technologies  in the field of telecommunications. This is a great innovation challenge for Meylan Orange Labs and we wish to present our tools and actions to innovate in Green IT projects, and share our success stories. We also hope to promote Inovallée Green IT in the Rhone Alpes ecosystem".

Orange Labs will present several major collaborative research projects in which its researchers are strongly involved:

  • The Senscity project, which aims to create a unique machine-to-machine communication infrastructure that allow communities to offer management solutions, thus enabling them to optimize their services - waste management, public lighting, water distribution networks, etc. Vincent Gimeno, who is a Project Manager at Orange Labs, will show the latest experiments conducted for the purpose of a sustainable city with Gaz Electricité de Grenoble and the Water Board.
  • The Reactive Home project which consists in optimizing energy management in homes (Home Automation).

    Orange Labs researchers will also share their expertise about the technological challenge of distributed intelligence, machine to machine communications or cloud computing.
