This document discusses an open networking platform called NetOS for enabling smarter cities through network virtualization and slicing. It introduces Zeetta Networks, a company spun off from Bristol University that is commercializing this SDN technology. NetOS allows for the creation of on-demand "network slices" with guaranteed quality of service policies across diverse network domains. It can support the varied requirements of 5G and Internet of Things applications. The document highlights Bristol Is Open, a smart city testbed powered by NetOS that provides experimental infrastructure across Bristol's city-wide fiber network, supporting technologies like 5G, IoT, and sensors.

Editor's Notes
- Good afternoon all, Thank you for the invitation to talk in your meeting today. I’ll talked today about how using the latest Software Defined Networking you can built an open platform for self-provisioning a dedicated network for your own application in a smart city context
- Zeetta Networks is a spin-off from the High performance Networks Group of the University of Bristol. In December 2015 the company received US$2millions from two Venture Capital investors: IP-Group and Breed Reply. The company formed to commercialize the University’s software defined networking technology which has been developed over the last 5 years through an over £6 million funding from the European Commission, UK government and the industry. The key differentiation of our technology stems from the expertise of the group in transport networks (especially optical), SDN and network virtualisation.
- So we know SDN is already proven in data centers such as those of Google and Facebook where it manages hundreds of thousands of Ethernet switching equipment & servers To bring the benefits of SDN to Enterprise and Internet –of-Things networks one has to take into account the fact that those networks consist of different types of devices including Ethernet, Optical, Wireless and IOT Zeetta Networks has developed an extended SDN controller which is able to control all these different types of devices.
- Bristol Is Open is a complex network in the centre of Bristol but is also a joint venture between the University of Bristol and the Bristol City Council

- Zeetta’s NetOS resolves the network problems discussed earlier by supporting the following three features <click> First, NetOS manages a diverse network of networks which combine wired, wireless and sensor technologies under the same network control <click> Second, this network control is centralised and it is independent from specific vendors thanks to the abstraction of the underlying hardware from the software running on top <click> Thirdly, NetOS uses network virtualisation to “slice” the network to many virtual sub-networks. This is a very efficient and effective way to share resources among many users and optimise the resource utilisation and monetization of the underlying network. We believe this approach is revolutionary.
