Project summary

The goal of the project “Mobile and Wireless 2004” is to create and analyse value adding (wireless) services, which will be available on the railway stations (WLAN) and train track between Enschede-Drienerlo (Mesh) and Drienerlo-Hengelo (WLAN), and are delivered to various user populations. Currently, General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) enabled networks offer 'always-on', higher capacity, Internet-based content and packet-based data services. The creation and analysis of these mobile services is done within the scope of the main research questions covering the partners’ interests.

The thematic program “Mobile and wireless” of the Telematica Instituut serves as a facilitator for this project, which is a joint effort of IBM, SURFnet, ProRail, TNO-Telecom and Telematica Instituut.
