5. Mobile Data in the Netherlands
• With 19.5 million subscribers, the volume increases on
average by 140% every half year, peaking at 7.9 PB in 2010
• Comparison: it is expected that the Large Hadron Collider
will generate roughly 15 Petabytes annually...

9. Wireless Ambition
Vision: to allow students, researchers and
employees to collaborate, research, learn
anytime and anywhere they seem fit!
• Any* is a broad concept
• Better to narrow it down to — “at the right
time, at the right place”
• Partner with national mobile operator and
community
• Leverage on experience other NRENs

10. Wireless Campus Issues
• Gap between board and working floor
- Maintenance of wireless networks is substantial
- Wireless access is essential for end-users
- Wireless infrastructure is regarded as secondary
• Network planning
- constantly changing building infrastructure raises
coverage challenges and is unpredictable
• WLAN — scalability, interference, availability
• Limited or too much coverage (eduroam
conflicts)
• Session continuity and access to campus
services whilst moving

11. Wireless Campus Desires
• Coupling of wireless campus with (private)
3G/4G infrastructures — “Open SIM” /
operator agnostic
• Guest access to eduroam
• Traceability and privacy-proof indoor
positioning of individuals
• Easier network planning — coverage outside
buildings
• Outsourcing of network maintenance
• Less bureaucracy, match finances with plans
and stop reinventing the wheel

• Generally, mobile access to licensed
spectrum is not provided by NRENs
• eduroam is provided by all GÉANT members
and many other NRENs worldwide
• HEAnet — Defined Strategy, WiMAX trials
and acquired licensed spectrum
• JANET — MVNO tight to eduroam

It is the right time…
• To keep up with the increasing demands of
our constituency
• Aim at a global solution
- Both nationally and internationally
• Act as fire starter
• Market and technology aggregation
• Leverage our experience with o.a. identity
and access management and building
federations
