Campus-wide WiFi access networks Validation of the ANEMONE platform Adaptation of the platform for ITS usage Metropolitan IPv6/UMTS coverage in Rennes (Bretagne) Researches on trends of mobility market Project coordination Researches on security and reliability issues of IPv6 mobility Metropolitan WiFi coverage in Oulu (Finnland) Researches on mobile terminals and applications

9 ANEMONE Demonstration – Tridentcom 2008 – March , © ANEMONE consortium Potential impacts Why is ANEMONE important? It is the first Pan-European IPv6 mobility oriented testbed A full range of network types (Metro, Campus, Lab) will be offered and various user profiles (researcher, student, man-in-the-street) will be addressed Openness to third parties experiments is the very first design rule What is the ANEMONE impact? It is a proof-of-concept of near real-life testbed of advanced IPv6 mobility technologies The testbed serves the development of new services and businesses Such a large scale network contributes to the research in IPv6, wireless and mobile technologies It enforces the European position in dissemination activities and in major standardization bodies

11 ANEMONE Demonstration – Tridentcom 2008 – March , © ANEMONE consortium Overview of the demonstration A developer company realizes that mobility tests are required before getting their product to the market SIP-based rich-call application for interactive movie ticket purchase The company contacts the ANEMONE team to conduct measurements on the testbed. Pre-defined admission process of administrative and technical tasks to obtain access to the ANEMONE testbed After joining ANEMONE, the company can do the experiments for validating the product on different end-terminals different access networks different mobility protocols … The results are analysed by the developers and the ANEMONE professionals, yielding better analysis Finally, the company has the experience what they should expect in a mobile environment
