Seamless technology provides unprecedented mobile communication

Another TSSG EU IST project, Daidalos I & II, features on the IST Results website this month: Seamless technology provides unprecedented mobile communication.

"The vision of DAIDALOS is to give mobile users seamless, pervasive access to content and services via heterogeneous networks, supporting their personal user preferences and context," says Deutsche Telekom’s Riccardo Pascotto, coordinator of this IST-funded project. "Users will get unprecedented access to a wide range of personalised voice, data, and multimedia services anytime and anywhere."

In the pervasive communication scenarios developed by the project, users can seamlessly access communication services at home, in the car, or anywhere else through PCs, PDAs, mobile phones and other devices without having to change networks. Their device will automatically select the best suitable access network - whether it's wireless LAN, terrestrial Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB-T) or UMTS - according to user preferences.
