2. 2 TrT: Trådløse Trondheim Research and Business Radio Lab, New radio technologies Radio propagation research ITS Lab The instrumented raod TrT Access WiFi open air network, with roaming (handover) and location service. A shared physical infrs structure that can be used by multiple service providers (ISPs) TrT Network Lab & TrT Service Lab Service Lab Mobile services

3. 3 Wi-Fi TrT The first steps

4. 4 Wireless Trondheim as a research area TrT Access (or Broadband commons) –A wireless network in Trondheim city for everyone (initial user groups covers: NTNU, The County, The City administration Trondheim, The Electric Power Company of the town and Adressa the dominant regional newspaper). This gives a potential aggregated number of users in the range 40 to 50 000 (includes all students at the univ. and all high school students). TrT Network lab –A full-sized outdoor lab suitable for testing new networking technologies. TrT Service Lab –A lab for mobile service development and testing.

5. 5 TrT Access Coverage on opening day, 26. September 2006 - approx. 80 APs

6. 6 TrT Access Coverage on 1. Nov. 2006 - approx. 120 APs

7. 7 TrT Network lab Infra structure Physical Infra structure –Broadbands connections (Gb/s, fiber og Cat5+ kabel). NB: TrT Network lab has its own communincation links (not shared by TrT Access) –Power Supply, –Mounting facilities and (agreements with property owners!) –Climatic safe housing for experimental equipment, etc. Preinstalled servers and experimental equipment –Measuring equipment –Programmable routers and access points –Servers to facilitate research, e.g a location server
