Building NREN service for a WireFree world

Maurice van den Akker Team Manager WireFree SURFnet

Today’s items

• Excellent WireFree: the new goal for NRENs
• Building a Wi-Fi/4G/eduroam service together with telco’s: “MoLAN”
• Route to seamless circus

Pampered users for the fixed network, resulting in new applications for E&R

• Closed community network: safe & trusted
• 10 Gbit/s connection is default, Lightpaths
• No filtering, transparent network
• No datalimits
• Flexibility
• State-of-Art services

Aspire study: NRENs need to prepare for mass mobile connectivity

• 1. roll out eduroam as wide as possible
• 2. Work with providers to integrate Wi-Fi and LTE
• 3. Work on close integration of fixed and various wireless

technologies to provide a: Secure, economic and transparent service irrespective of location

• 4. Work closely with institutes to exploit capabilities within

primary edu&res process

NREN’s new holy grail:

learn and research

any time, any place, any device

seamless

Requirements for the best seamless “WireFree” service

Physical Network Infrastructure

The best available infrastructure, integrated, technology independent

Integrated IP Network

Session

Seamless Sign On

Secure and Integrated AAI infrastructure

Application and Device

UYOD and switch between them

Financieel model

Affordable, without bill shock

Scenario’s for NRENs

• 0. NRENs only provide eduroam infrastructure (AAI)
• 1. NRENs focus on Wi-Fi
• 2. NRENs focus on LTE(-A)
• 3. NRENs focus on integration Wi-Fi and LTE
• 4. NRENs focus on mobile within primary process

4G eduroam in practice!

Utrecht 2011 Nijmegen 2012 Amsterdam 2013/14

In practice: 4G/LTE and Wi-Fi both as access network for campus using eduroam
