re: IPv6 Network from Nokia >> Nokia Launches World's First Demonstration of Mobile IPv6-Based Multimedia Network January 29, 2001 Business Wire Nokia today launched the world's first demonstration of IP multimedia capable Mobile IPv6 which allows continuous and smooth connectivity while moving between wireless access points. The platform, demonstrated at the Global IPv6 Forum in Madrid, is the first ever to show how Mobile IPv6 enables smooth handovers over IP Telephony improving the quality of real-time audio traffic. Another significant advantage is the ability to assign quality levels to different traffic flows. The groundbreaking demonstration shows a functional miniature network based on IPv6, which offers significant enhancements compared to the current IPv4 protocol. In addition it also illustrates IPv4-IPv6 interoperability, which will be essential as the evolution to the Mobile Internet continues. "This is another world first for Nokia and highlights Nokia's commitment to IPv6 as one of the key enablers of the Mobile Internet," said Asko Rasanen, Head of the Nokia IPv6 Program, "The demonstration illustrates this major step towards providing future proof networks in different access environments and shows the functionality of Mobile IPv6 and its capability to support applications in the rapidly evolving mobile environment." The expanded address space of IPv6, from 32-bit to 128-bit, which is one of its most visible advantages, provides enough capacity for a separate IP address for every device on the planet. Improved usability and a wider choice of Quality of Service parameters are further benefits of IPv6, which supports plug and play installation of Internet-enabled devices. Nokia is the world leader in mobile communications. Backed by its experience, innovation, user-friendliness and secure solutions, the company has become the leading supplier of mobile phones and a leading supplier of mobile, fixed and IP networks. By adding mobility to the Internet Nokia creates new opportunities for companies and further enriches the daily lives of people. Nokia is a broadly held company with listings on six major exchanges. << - Eric -

> overlapping and hierarchies only stand a chance of helping > you if a handset can see more than two base stations. As I tried to explaine, there is no chance one will be out of the reach of 2-3-4 BSTs on the 2-3Ghz bands where there is a lot of users and the need for accuracy is higher. In rural, empty spaces it is anyway smarter to use lower _carrier_ frequencies with better coverage and there the need for positioning accuracy is much smaller. (but is that the main usage of GPS?? antenna on the top of the car??) > Are providers going to install extra base stations to > enable you to triangulate your position? Doubting it. No, it will be done anyway in crowded places, and in less crowded places nobody needs very high accuracy anyway. > Not because of the cost of the BTS itself, but because of > challenges getting permission for an antenna site then > leasing T1/E1 lines to the central controller plus the > desire to build out coverage Radiolinks (XXGHz, very directional) between BSTs is the fastest and cheapest way to build the network both in malls and deserts. (even solar power to avoid even 110/220volts on poles) One additional reference can replace a third triangular point, as well as directional arrays for the BST. (I'm sure you remember that 40x capacity, with or without adaptive, directional arrays of antennas) Ilmarinen. P.S. 911 calls don't bring in much cash for the operators, not even along highways through the desert, especially not to know which side of the road the accident is.
