1. Background
2. What applications will there be in the future?
3. Why develop these?
4. What technologies will enable these?
• Over 10 years technical and operational experience with large scale, transaction processing systems.
• We develop, host and manage, cost-effective, high quality Mobile Internet applications.
• First to develop SMS based information services in 1995 (for BT Cellnet).
• Created first DTI web site in 1995. Also web site for British Chamber of Commerce and BSI.
• Devised, and hosted ‘Global Class Room’ for Henley Management College early 1990’s. Amongst first electronic ‘distance learning programme’.

Applications of the Future
Some BLUE SKY ideas:
• accurate real-time speech to text
• automatic analysis of electrocardiograms and blood tests
• real-time language translation
• intelligent computerised personal assistants
• ubiquitous access to the world’s knowledge bases
• enhanced vision and hearing through implants
• ability to download your memory / personality
Applications of the Future
Some sectors to look at:
• Finance and banking
• Entertainment
• Publications and Media
• Gaming
• Retailing
• Life Style
How are we going to do all this?

Today
Mobile Facts - SMS
• Allows text messages to be sent and received between all UK network’s mobiles anywhere in the world.
• Supports 160 characters.
• Single charge regardless of geography (c.12p per message)
• Immune to congestion.
• Confirmation of delivery available.
• Supports data transfer (ring tones and logos etc)
• Store and forward capability
• Discrete
Mobile Facts - WAP
WAP allows true Mobile-Internet convergence.
It manages the constraints of limited bandwidth, delay and less powerful terminal - CPU, memory, screen size and power consumption.
It’s an open standard designed especially for mobiles to display Internet/Intranet information .
Supported by over 75% of the world’s leading mobile manufactures.
Internet pages need to be written in WML (Wireless Mark-up Language).
Internet content and service ‘information’ delivered via a variety of transmission services.
Mobile Facts - Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a standard for the wireless transmission of data between devices by the use of short range radio waves
Bluetooth uses Globally regulated radio spectrum at 2.4GHz.
Range of 10 meters.
721Kbit/s max data rate.
Mobile devices require specific Bluetooth receivers either as an attachment or built-in.
Available 2001 (limited supply)
Bluetooth got its name from the 10th Century Viking King - Harald Bluetooth!
Mobile Facts - GPRS
GPRSGPRS
It’s an overlay onto today’s existing mobile phone network, using existing base stations
User can logon to a range of data networks and servers e.g. Corporate LAN, ISP, e-mail provider, etc
Internationally agreed standard. An asymmetric IP PDN (Packet Data Network). Connected to other packet data networks High speed 171kbps (in theory) On line all the time*.

GPRS – The Evolution to Mobile Packet Data
1. Circuit Switched Data
CircuitSwitched
Call duration (Billable)
Call established
Call terminated
Data Bursts
• Costly - except for file transfers• Vulnerable - session lost if call dropped• Slow - 9.6kbit/s @ radio interface, 7.2kbit/s achievable
GPRS – The Evolution to Mobile Packet Data
Packet Switched Data
CircuitSwitched
GPRS
• Shared channel - lowest cost but variable delay• Retained session - potentially for long periods : “always on line”
• With compression, typically 64kbit/s peak rate service perceived
GPRS Data Transmission Speeds
Raw data rates in Kbit/s:
• assumes error free channel, and excludes overheads

GPRS - Applications
GPRS bearer service will enable applications in the following segment areas:
Telemetry Messaging e-mail Access to the World
Wide Web Job Scheduling and
Despatch Vehicle Location
Services Information services E-commerce
WAP vs GPRS
GPRS is not a competitor to WAP.
GPRS can be used as a bearer for WAP. GPRS alone does not facilitate the access to the Internet. It is best compared to a means of delivery in desktop terms. WAP Gateway's and Browsers are still required to deliver the content.
Mobile Facts – UMTS (3G)
UMTS is........
........Universal Mobile Telephone System
• Currently in development phase
• Expected around 2002 (limited coverage)
• Operates at 2.1GHz
• 2Mbits and above data rates with global roaming
• Allows multimedia and video
• Applications on the move !
What is new with 3G?
• Devices – Screen size, storage capability– Multi-media– Video (stills and clips)– Music (download, store
and play)• Increased speed
– File download / WEB browsing – Improved mobile internet experience– Graphics, speed, shopping
experience• Improved
personalisation
UK 3G Mobile Plans
• Launch Services will include a number of exciting and compelling products and applications based on core capabilities e.g
• Video clips• Postcards• Mobile office products
– intranet access– fast e mail download– fast file download– group working
• Find and guide services• Mobile Music• Advertising• m-commerce
