Amsterdam Passenger terminal to be host to TAUPE Project event scheduled to be held as a full conference day as part of the Avionics Europe 2010 exhibition and conference
On Thursday March 25th 2010, the TAUPE Project will host its first dissemination event, during Avionics Europe 2010 (incorporating Defence Electronics) at Passenger Terminal, Amsterdam, in the Netherlands. This full conference day will enable project partners to present their work and achievements from the last 18 months. This event represents a unique opportunity to learn more about the possibility of mixing power and communication media inside aircraft.
TAUPE is a collaborative research project co-funded by the European Commission in the framework of the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7). It addresses the aeronautic sector and is composed of 17 partners from 6 European countries. The project lasts 3 years (September 2008 - August 2011), is led by Labinal and has a budget of Euros 5.5M. TAUPE stands for Transmission in Aircraft on Unique Path wirEs. The project aims to simplify the electrical architecture of aircraft and to reduce the length and mass of cabling by introducing PLC (PowerLine Communication) or PoD (Power over Data) technologies inside aircraft. Both technologies essentially aim to supply power and data over the same cable. The TAUPE results will address the ACARE SRA, particularly concerning: * weight reduction
* easy and cost effective installation and retrofit
* cost effective maintenance
