Outline



The Major Trends at a Glance

• Advance of mobile communication - Currently over 2 billion mobile users

• Advance of the Internet • Broadband everywhere• Convergence of digital industries

The converging digital industry brings together parts of the broadcasting, consumer electronics, communication, information technology, media and entertainment industries.

• Diversification of technologies for a given application- Same content provided via different channels- Also different services via same channel

• Advance of e-commerce• Deregulation and globalisation• Heterogeneity and complexity for the user• Services and applications are key

- The end user is interested in services and applications, the underlying technology is not relevant to her or him.• Reduced cost per bit

WWRF Vision Principles from User Perspective

• Users are in control through intuitive interaction with applications, services and devices • Services and applications are personalised, ambient-aware, and adaptive (I-centric) and

ubiquitous from the point of view of the user• Seamless services for users, groups of users, communities and machines (autonomously

communicating devices) with an agreed quality of service irrespective of their location and network connectivity

• Users, application developers, service and content providers, network operators and manufacturers can create new services and business models efficiently and flexibly

• There is awareness of, and access to, appropriate levels of reliability, security and trustworthiness, in the wireless world


The WWRF Vision

• All people will be served with wireless devices

• Affordable to purchase and operate

• Calm computing: technology invisible to users

• Machine to machine communications

- Sensors and tags: e.g. in transport and weather systems, infrastructure, to provide ambient

intelligence and context sensitivity

• All devices are part of the (mobile) internet

7 trillion wireless devices serving 7 billion people by 2017
