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?
4
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!
