3. In the past… 60 GHz project (1) – MEDIAN　(Sep.1995 – Aug.1999) • MEDIAN is one of Framework projects funded by EC • System features of MEDIAN • 60GHz OFDM WLAN • ATM backbone • 150Mbps (UL + DL) total • Lens antenna with 8dBi • Cell radius of 4-6 m Kei Obara, Siemens

4. 60 GHz project (1) – MEDIAN (Cont.) Results of MEDIAN in ETSI Only 1 document was submitted to ETSI BRAN (RES-10) to introduce the project. But there was no impact on the standardization activity. Kei Obara, Siemens

5. On going.. 60 GHz project (2) – BROADWAY (Jan.2002 – Dec.2004) • BROADWAY is one of Framework projects funded by EC • System features • 5 & 60GHz dual frequency hybrid WLAN/WPAN • Total system throughput of 350Mbps or more • OFDM (HiperLAN2 extension) • TX power of 10dBm • Peer to peer communication for Ad hoc mode Kei Obara, Siemens

6. Current movement within ETST BRAN • In September 2003 meeting, there was a presentation from a BROADWAY rep. to create a working group within ETSI BRAN to study the extension of existing WLANs and WPANs in the 60GHz band. (doc# : bran34d018) • In September BRAN meeting, IEEE802.15.mm-WIG has been introduced. • European frequency issues are under investigation for next BRAN meeting. • Following companies have already expressed their support for the creation of 60GHz working group in BRAN(Motorola, France Telecom, Intracom, Thomson Multimedia, CEA LETI, IMST, TNO) Kei Obara, Siemens

8. History of European 60GHz related projects 4th Framework Program 5th Framework Program 6th Framework Program 2002 2006 1994 1998 1998 IST Projects 1994 ACTS ACTS : Advanced Communications Technology and Services IST : Information Society Technologies Kei Obara, Siemens

9. ACTS (Advanced Communications Technology and Services) • ACTS is funded by European Commission to make Europe competitive in global markets • ACTS was one of the specific programs of the “4th Framework Program” with following categories Domain 1 : Interactive Digital Multimedia Services Domain 2 : Photonic Technologies Domain 3 : High Speed Networking Domain 4 : Mobility and Personal Communications Networks Domain 5 : Service Engineering, Security Management Domain 6 : Horizontal Actions Kei Obara, Siemens

10. IST (Information Society Technologies) • IST is formed as the next version of ACTS • IST started from the 5th Framework program with following categories Systems and services for the citizen New Methods of work and electronic commerce Multimedia content and tools Essential technologies and infrastructures Cross-programme themes Future and emerging technologies Activities in support of research infrastructures Kei Obara, Siemens
