Telefónica I+D is conducting research in the technologies that make it possible to offer the next generation of TV services: 3D TV.

The aim of Interactive and Targeted Advertising projects is to allow Telefónica to offer its clients advertising they will find useful.

Kangaroo is an innovative system for providing real-time video streaming and video-on-demand services to end users. With its P2P architecture, Kangaroo provides a full set of interactive video functionalities such as rewinding (or jumping to) past scenes of a live television program or viewing them again. All of this is possible using P2P technologies.

Software Defined Radio technologies make it possible to use radio communications to be able to use any radio communications standard. One example of this is the use of the same mobile telephone on networks using UMTS, WiMax or other standards, without having to change telephone, simply by changing its software.

The OMEGA system is a support system for supervising networks in the field of quality assurance. Its function is to carry out ongoing monitoring of Telefónica networks, attending to any incident on the network and repairing it automatically.

Real-time rating systems aim to provide information about the cost of a service at the exact moment this is being used.
