Conclusions & Future Work

• UMTS phase 2 needs interworking between different access networks:– DECT, GSM, UTRA,

USRA– WLAN, Hiperlan

• Service mobility over FMI networks

• Co-operation of Telenor:– national: NTNU, Sintef– international: Ericsson,

SUN, BT, EURESCOM

• Stepwise HW design- HW receiver part- Include transmitter- Extend to full UMTS

• International co-operation for full demonstrator:– EURESCOM– ACTS: SORT

• Final goal– ‘cheap demonstrator’ for

research and development– open architecture– open API

Telenor UMTS demonstrator

UMTS phase 1 demonstrator:– supplier solution, interfaces not

available– limited experience due to

number of terminals– limited hint for network

planning (capacity question)

+ Telenor is UMTS operator+ gain experience on services

UMTS phase 2 demonstrator:– not ready before 2001– limited experience due to

number of terminals

+ open interfaces+ extension towards

WLAN/Hiperlan+ co-operation with research

The vision for Telenor

Be first in Europe to operate UMTS (in one area)• limited area (Gjøvik, Steinkjær) at an early time, e.g.

Q1.2001• invite Ericsson, Nokia, etc. to join the pre-operation• operational equipment available, BTS & Mobiles

+ Telenor is UMTS operator + best public relation: first in Europe+ gain experience on services+ realistic (?) traffic, test for implementation of services
