Enabling Ubiquitous Mobility

“Integration with other operators”

-Wrap up

- Difficult topic;what do we want to do?I wrote stuff down when people discussed topic

- Plans at SURFnet

-Call for arms

2

There’s a lot we can do

- What is exciting, where can we collaborate or (just) share experiences

- Investigate roaming technologies- Collect best-practises

- Offload 3G (with eduroam)- Make 3G cheaper, MVNO, MVNA

- Where could vendors, operators help?

- Brainstorm- Collect usecases

3

Usecases

- Collect usecases- Access to institution-only stuff?- What is the mobile-market not providing?- What is needed by our (research) community?- Internet of things?- International (roaming) experiments?

- Branding?Do institutions or NRENs want to sell phones?

- Can we speed up research, “internet of things”,what is not commercially available? Disposable SIM?

Coverage, use-cases

- Coverage issues at campuses?

- Less femtocells in EuropeSmaller cells compared to the VS

- But: more and more people (also employees) work with Laptop + GSMWiFi is not always sufficient

- Coverage outside campuses, 3G offload via eduroam- Use-case for commercial wifi operators

@SURFnet

Investigate and translate needs to requirements. Focus on:

-What is the market not providing?-What is needed by our community?Internet of things?

-(Coverage) issues on campuses?-Workshop in march

Furthermore:

-Improve eduroam coverage (3G offloading!)with commercial operators

Now what…

- EUM is a “new” task- Who is active in this area?- What are your plans?- How do you want to collaborate?

(Build a wiki? Have a VC, brainstorm?)- Can we use the help of vendors, operators?

<insert typical “we need you” image here>Let’s have a VC/brainstorm!
