Plenary Session: Innovating Openly in Wireless Petteri Alinikula
Petteri Alinikula · 2009
n this presentation, experiences in open innovation in wireless research are discussed from Nokia Research Center’s perspective. The research agenda has been geared toward challenging new radio systems, disruptive device implementation aspects, and innovative usage of electromagnetic waves. Nokia Research Center has taken a systematic approach in promoting open innovation and in building a global open innovation network with strong university partners. The wireless industry is in transition from telecom toward convergence of mobility and the Internet. The next billion new Internet users will get to know the Internet through mobile devices. Simultaneously, the offering of consumer Internet services is exploding, driven by advertisement-based business models and Web 2.0 services. Smart environments, e.g., public places like shopping malls, private places like homes or personal vicinity, with interoperable devices and ubiquitous computing will further stretch the energy effi ciency requirement of the devices. Smart spaces, new services, and business models will introduce signifi cantly more interdisciplinary hard challenges for this research. With open innovation,
