What is happening? Wireless connectivity covertures level (telephony and internet), also in low anthropization area, is constantly growing up Wireless connectivity covertures level (telephony and internet), also in low anthropization area, is constantly growing up The diffusion of communication mobile terminals is reaching the population totality The diffusion of communication mobile terminals is reaching the population totality Communication mobile terminals are more and more potent e less and less expensive Communication mobile terminals are more and more potent e less and less expensive Geo-localization systems are more and more precise Geo-localization systems are more and more precise Integration for geo-localization systems dedicated to assisted navigation begins to assert itself on the vehicles Integration for geo-localization systems dedicated to assisted navigation begins to assert itself on the vehicles The communication technologies are in fast evolution, varying fastly the scenarios The communication technologies are in fast evolution, varying fastly the scenarios A process of technologies integration for communication and geo- localization, in powerful and of low cost terminal, is in progress A process of technologies integration for communication and geo- localization, in powerful and of low cost terminal, is in progress

What is WI-Soul? Is a platform for the implementation of solutions of personal mobility that integrate the services of: Is a platform for the implementation of solutions of personal mobility that integrate the services of: –Wireless communication client/server and client/client –Geo-localization –Interaction with server and geographical data It offers modular and scalable solutions thanks to: It offers modular and scalable solutions thanks to: –Block by block architecture and functional layer –Application plug-in (dynamically downloadable) support

Whi WI-Soul? The problem The problem –The geo-localization applications functions must be able to adapt easily to various roles of users The Wi-Soul solution The Wi-Soul solution –The possibility to manage the application parts as plug-in, independent and downloadable when the application is running, makes the functions easily adaptable and configurable

Whi WI-Soul? The problem The problem –The geo-localization functions in the applications must be able to evolve with facility The Wi-Soul solution The Wi-Soul solution –The possibility to manage the application part as independent and downloadable (remotely and with the application active) plug-in, makes the functions easily increasable and substitutable

Why WI-Soul? The problem The problem –The wireless communication technologies offers various typology of cover (Wi-Fi, gprs, umts) and characteristics (continuous connection, store & forward) The Wi-Soul solution The Wi-Soul solution –The communication of data and commands can happen simultaneously or sequentially on more than one media (signal cover, times and costs)

Why WI-Soul? The problem The problem –The wireless communication technologies are in fast evolution –The Galileo system is placing side by side the GPS-GNSS as geo-localization technology The Wi-Soul solution The Wi-Soul solution –The modularity of the "communication-layer" and the "geo-localization layer" concurs to quickly adapt all already active applications to the technological evolutions

Some Applications scenarios Emergencies management (signalling of interrupted roads, unfit for use bridges, zone risk) Emergencies management (signalling of interrupted roads, unfit for use bridges, zone risk) Outdoor emergency (recreational or attendance to professional customers) Outdoor emergency (recreational or attendance to professional customers) Territorial monitoring and territorial data collection Territorial monitoring and territorial data collection Installations management (attices, antennas,…) Installations management (attices, antennas,…) Technical personal/agents management Technical personal/agents management Outdoor sports (Ski, mountain-bike, hiking, …) Outdoor sports (Ski, mountain-bike, hiking, …) Tourism (Parks, archaeological zones,…) Tourism (Parks, archaeological zones,…)

An example: A ski resort Day subscription through SMS Day subscription through SMS Facilities research on the area Facilities research on the area "Events notification“ service in the resort "Events notification“ service in the resort “Self-rescue” service “Self-rescue” service “ Rescue request” to the base station “ Rescue request” to the base station “Alarms notification” in the resort “Alarms notification” in the resort “Alarms notification in case of forbidden zone proximity” “Alarms notification in case of forbidden zone proximity” “Closing ski-lift” service “Closing ski-lift” service “People search” service (individual or by role) “People search” service (individual or by role)

An example : Technical service management Morning’s upload of daily “Repair service” list with detail Morning’s upload of daily “Repair service” list with detail Signalling for “Repair service” beginning (geo- localized) Signalling for “Repair service” beginning (geo- localized) Signalling for “Repair service” completing with material take-off and balance Signalling for “Repair service” completing with material take-off and balance Remote billing Remote billing Emergencies management console Emergencies management console Communication and messaging server/terminals, terminals/terminals Communication and messaging server/terminals, terminals/terminals

Practical demonstration 1. A message to a client 2. Send to the server a completed “Repair service” (temporized/georeferenced) 3. Asking the georeferenced position to a client 4. Send to the server a covered route
