UPCOMING EVENTS

1. HIGHLIGHT - The Rise of User-centric Wireless Networks

The EU IST FP7 ULOOP (User-centric Wireless Local Loop) Project held its first industrial workshop in Berlin on 27.09.2011, having been hosted by partners Huawei Research and Alcatel-Lucent BellLabs France.

The ULOOP industrial workshop is an event focused on igniting discussion concerning the impact of user-centric wireless networks both from a regulation and from a socio-economic perspective.

The workshop programme covered several section presenting results achieved during the first year of ULOOP; presentations from related entities such as operators; municipalities; related projects, and a discussion panel focused on the socio-economic aspects of user-centric wireless networks. Its audience amounted to a total of 44 representatives of different entities, including operators, municipalities, researchers, vendors, and the EU Commission.

The ULOOP project is focused on the development of open-source software tailored at allowing a robust and innovative expansion of wireless network architectures, where the user can be part of the Internet value-chain, by providing expanded coverage and shared access.
