Enhancing Ubiquitous Mobility Through Collaborative Integration in Research Communities

This conference presentation by Paul Dekkers at SURFnet discusses the challenges and opportunities in enabling ubiquitous mobility for the research community. Key topics include collaboration among operators, exploring roaming technologies, and identifying gaps in the mobile market. The session emphasizes the importance of sharing best practices, offloading 3G networks through initiatives like eduroam, and engaging with vendors to address coverage issues. Participants are encouraged to brainstorm ideas, share use cases, and focus on what is necessary for the Internet of Things and improving connectivity.

  1. Enabling Ubiquitous Mobility Paul Dekkers, SURFnet Lyon, february 16th, 2011

  2. 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

  3. 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

  4. 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?

  5. 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

  6. @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

  7. 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! Paul.Dekkers@surfnet.nl
