Beyond
3G Research: Can the Nordic and Baltic Countries
(Re)Emerge Among the
World Leaders?
Ramjee Prasad
and Knud Erik Skouby
Abstract
The development of Beyond 3G systems requires a multidisciplinary and user-driven approach. On the basis of its established research traditions and institutions, the Nordic and Baltic area could be a driver in advanced mobile and wireless systems. This role is likely to be very different from the one played by the region in the first generation and 2G systems based on standardised technology systems. In the Beyond 3G setting we will see solutions based less on specific technologies and more on interoperability and new business models.
