Daidalos


Mobilfuture cooperate with major European telecommunication companies and is one of the 42 partners of DAIDALOS project. DAIDALOS is an EU Framework Programme 6 Integrated Project, currently in its second phase, but people of the Mobilfuture team have been participating in this project also in first phase.  


Since the mobility has become a central aspect of the lives of European citizens in business, education, and leisure the project goal is to support secure, personalized and pervasive services built on heterogeneous network and service infrastructures for the mobile user. The Daidalos vision is to seamlessly integrate heterogeneous network technologies(TDCD, WIFI, WIMAX, DVB,…) that allow network operators and service providers to offer new and profitable services, giving users access to a wide range of personalised voice, data, and multimedia services. Daidalos phase II will be guided by five key concepts:

  • MARQS (Mobility Management, AAA [Authentication, Authorisation and Accounting], Resource Management, QoS and Security), supporting functional integration for end-to-end services across heterogeneous technologies.
  • VID (Virtual Identity), which separates the user from a device, thereby enables flexibility as well as privacy and personalization.
  • USP (Ubiquitous and Seamless Pervasiveness), enabling pervasiveness across personal and embedded devices, and allowing adaptation to changing contexts, movement and user requests.
  • SIB (Seamless Integration of Broadcast), which integrates broadcast at both the technology level, such as DVB-S/T-H, and at the services level, such TV, carousels and data-cast.
  • Federation, which will allows network operators and service providers to offer and receive services, allowing players to enter and leave the field in a dynamic business environment


One of the Mobilefuture’s task is the integration of accounting and charging information, which demands from us a good understanding of the whole system. Participating in this project is a great opportunity to understand the complexity of Beyond 3G environment, to its see strengths and threats, but also gives us the chance to not only be in sync with newest technologies of B3G networks, but also to make our contribution to them.
