Dissemination and Use Plan Fifth Framework Project 25394 Public networks) handover solutions. To meet these requirements, MobyDick will develop its uniform IP-convergence architecture for ubiquitous Internet access: IPv6 and AAA, the key ingredients of MobyDick’s approach to mobility, QoS and AAA are extremely well suited to provide added value. Both IPv6 and AAA are considered - both at the European level and within the IETF - to be a technical necessity for ubiquitous access for the next-generation Internet. In addition, IPv6 and AAA a clearly fields where Europe does not lag behind the US - both with respect to influence in the relevant standardization bodies and products. In addition, the extensions of AAA into the areas of AAAC (covering additionally charging and auditing features) will be an important step forward. 3.1.1 European Synergy Involving an international consortium of telecommunication operators, manufacturers, and research institutes, complementary in interest and expertise, MobyDick’s solution will leverage this development into business opportunities and user benefits at the European and international level. While in principle, given the expertise, MobyDick’s IPv6- and AAAbased solutions could be developed on a national basis, it is obvious that for reasons of presence, weight, consensus, acceptance on an International scale, the project is a clear candidate for European and International co-operation. 3.1.2 Manufacturer’s View Point For manufacturers involved in the MobyDick Consortium, exploitation of results of the Project offers a key strategic opportunity for the longer-term development of their telecom business, beyond UMTS Release 2000, both in Europe and globally. Manufacturers are already active in some standardization bodies (such as ITU and ETSI) and MobyDick will offer a framework to transform this investment and participation into a substantial commercial opportunity on the time frame of 2001 to 2010. In addition, the presence of major global players, such as NEC and Motorola will provide greater leverage on bodies such as the IETF; it is very doubtful if manufacturers could have significant influence on these bodies by acting alone. MobyDick manufacturers all supply aspects of fixed and mobile telecommunications equipment such as base stations, access, and switching infrastructure, mobile terminal, AAA servers, QoS capable equipment. In all these fields MobyDick offers an opportunity to build world-wide market share, if the Project achieves its goals. The experience gained in this Project will help positioning the partners well to introduce a range of: terminals, access infrastructure, and mobile multimedia applications for extended UMTS Release 2000 and WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network). MobyDick will also offer manufacturers shorter-term exploitation benefits. MobyDick is predicated on all-IP and IP applications (Voice-over-IP) and IP network equipment (router and server). It will also provide support for UMTS deployment, since MobyDick will specifically extend UMTS, and give confidence that some of the deficiencies of UMTS will be abolished. This will provide short-term growth in the UMTS market to the benefit of the entire European mobile telecommunications industry. 3.1.3 Operator’s View Point For operators MobyDick will offer the opportunity to develop new services. Users are becoming used to data rates of 10 Mbit/s on existing and advanced Ethernet, fixed, connections - playing videos, games, and holding video conferences. MobyDick will allow these services to be offered in a mobile context. In addition, the fixed-mobile convergence Page 10 of 40 Version 1.0 © Copyright 2001, the Members of the MobyDick Consortium
Fifth Framework Project 25394 Public Dissemination and Use Plan offered by using IP over a common core of routers, with three access technologiesrespectively Ethernet, IEEE 802.11 and W-CDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access), will allow operators to offer a common look and feel to services accessed from anywhere at anytime. Finally, MobyDick will provide support for new, mobile-aware, applications. Thus, when browsers are started they will be given location information and users can then be provided with location-relevant information. This will be tested with ERASMUS exchange students. During their stay in the foreign university (either in Berlin or Stuttgart), students from Madrid can have audio access to lectures inhome university or to Web-servers in their home country with specific information. Operators will be able to exploit MobyDick to reduce costs for mobile communications. Additionally, they will be able to develop cost models and billing mechanisms for mobile IP QoS traffic. With the use of AAA architecture, they can set-up secure interconnection for business cases. 3.1.4 Universities/Research Center’s View Point Universities will exploit MobyDick through an increase in know-how and ability to support the European mobile telecommunications industry. At the conclusion of the Project they will be in a strong position to supply technical support and trained engineers to the European work force in mobile telecommunications. Research Centers within the Consortium will be in a position to support the migration of operators from second generation systems to UMTS and MobyDick-based IP architects supporting mobile multimedia delivery. They will create competencies to support industrial partners and SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprise). Through liaison with bodies, such as 3GPP, it is expected that early exploitation will be seen in the form of acceleration of the introduction of new services, even on updated second (e.g., GPRS, General Packet Radio System) and third generation networks. The project MobyDick will have a strong impact on further research and education of the computer scientist, telecommunications engineer, and electrical engineer of tomorrow. 3.2 Individual Partner Strategies Based on these overall MobyDick-relevant discussion of opportunities and challenges, each individual partner of the MobyDick consortium expresses separately and explicitly their business or academic use plan. 3.2.1 T-Nova, Deutsche Telekom Innovationsgesellschaft mbH, Berlin, D T-Nova is Deutsche Telekom’s research and development unit that focuses on creating, developing, testing, and introducing innovative products, services, networks/networkelements in the area of telecommunications and information technology. In addition T-Nova develops software and information systems for the support of the business process of the whole group of companies of Deutsche Telekom AG. T-Nova was founded in spring 1999 in order to join all research groups/subsidiaries and to strengthen the innovative potential of Deutsche Telekom AG. Beside several centers for the development of software and information systems T-Nova has also integrated the well-known research centers “Technologiezentrum Darmstadt” and “Deutsche Telekom Berkom”. T-Nova have experience in all stages of project development from the management of large multi-national R&D projects through identification, definition, and implementation of the specific need of the business lines.
