Alipes

• Study the intersection between mobile devices,
  wireless networking and positioning techniques.
• General software architecture for integrating
  position techniques Wavelan, MPS, GPS,
  Bluetooth.
• Prototypes based on Compaq iPaq hardware
• Used and tested in E-Street
• 100 in the project is MRC related

SIRAM

• Scalable Media distribution
• Mobile networks are heterogeneous
• Layered multicast video
• Network support for small devices
• Media gateway
• Scaling of live video
• Recoding of media
• Remote scrolling
• Synchronous communication via handheld devices
• About 40 of the project MRC related

RadioSphere

• "Mobile Internet", with a price/performance ratio
  that revolutionizes usage.
• Combine four trends
• Inexpensive and ubiquitous wired Internet
  access.
• Inexpensive equipment for short range radio
  access.
• Portable but very powerful computers and PDA's.
• The advent of terrestrial DVB/DAB.
