1. Norwegian Infrastructure for Future Wireless Networks Research Proposed Names: MobileWare ??? http://wiki.unik.no/index.php/MobileWare/HomePage

3. Initial Consortium UiS UiB UNIK HiT UiA

4. The Challenge How can Norway achieve a world-leading position in (wireless) networking again? Can we make Norwegian research a first class partner in future EU projects? Can we convince NFR to put an increased focus on future (wireless) infrastructures & services?

5. Norway: First Country outside US on Internet 5

6. Operator Ranking 1’2008 6 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mobile_network_operators

7. Orginal Idea for Nasjonal infrastrukturstrategi National Wireless Research Lab – Links wireless infrastructure of partners universities – Emulates future multi-access, high-speed wireless broadband – Provides mesh network facilities to provide free wireless broadband – Combines 2G/3G, WiFi, WiMax, anf fixed broadband – Studies new security solutions (e.g. Using NFC, roaming, charinging issues) – Studies wireless service discovery and resource awareness – Uses IPv4/IPv6 and possible post-IP protocols – Combines pervasive and cellular network paradigms – Provides measurements on user behavior, QoS, and performance copyright 2008 UNIK, UiA, UiS, UiB, HiT 7 Slide is outdated
