2 Introduction to Networld2020 2

3 Definition, Scope and Goals Networld2020 is the European Technology Platform for the communication networks and services community, promoting public and private investment in R&D on communications networking research challenges in three domains: mobile and wireless, fixed and satellite technologies. Merger of Net!works and Integral Satcom Initiative (ISI) ETPs (Nov 2013). Re-branded in April

4 Economic importance of the telecoms sector (1/2) A strong European leadership in communication networks is important for Europe s economy: In the European Union, ICT contributes to 50% of the economic growth (directly or indirectly). According to The Information Technology & Innovation Foundation, a $10 billion investment in 1 year in broadband networks would create almost jobs in the US. 7 of the 10 largest telecoms operators in the world are from Europe. 4

5 Economic importance of the telecoms sector (2/2) In 2007 the ICT sector represented % of GDP ( 540 billion) 3 % of total employment (6.1 million employees) accounted for 25 % of overall business expenditure in R&D and employed 32.4 % of all business sector researchers Major manufacturers in communications based in Europe Global figures of Alcatel-Lucent, Ericsson and Nokia (including Nokia Siemens Networks) 2 Total R&D: 10.1 billion in 2009 Total sales: 76.3 billion in 2009 Total employees: [1] European Commission: The 2010 report on R&D in ICT in the European Union.

35 Success stories 1991 The development of the GSM standard was part of the early formation of the European Union at the level of technology and mobile communications. For the first time, a solution was developed for Europe and the world enabling users to roam internationally using only one phone. Europe pooled its R&D, industrial base and services to provide the user with a mobile world without national borders. This initiative and the further collaborative R&D created a new generation of technologists focused on European and global needs. The GSM group was formed in GSM networks are now accessible in more than 85% of the world s land area. First commercially introduced in European research projects developed the key contributions to the 3G UMTS standard in the 90 s. 3G systems provide users with broadband multi-media mobile communications, including voice and video services, mobile Internet access, mobile TV services and machine to machine communications services. Key Framework Programme co-funded project: FRAMES (FP 4) First introduced in Source: Net!Works European Technology Platform European research projects developed key contributions to the LTE system in the 00 s. LTE provides high speed mobile broadband connectivity to laptops, smart phones, tablet PC s and other mobile devices. On-line gaming services, streamed video and cloud computing services are brought to life by LTE. The LTE service is already commercially available in Stockholm and is being introduced widely in European cities in Key Framework Programme co-funded projects: WINNER (FP 6), WINNER II (FP 6) First introduced in 2010 future The technical basis for ultra high speed broadband and M2M communication using energy efficient techniques are research challenges being addressed in Framework Programme 7 projects at present. European research has to continue in Framework Programme 8 to ensure that European organisations further develop their leadership positions in communications technologies! 2025 and beyond 35
