Agenda

! Why is v6 important

! Potential commercial application ! 3rd generation WiFi

! Potential defense application ! Personal communicator

Mobile call center

! Enables SP cell phone users to access mobile services like Taxi, car repair, home repair, etc

! Much more convenient than calling regular dispatch or service desk

! Allows SP to make revenue from users & vendors

Taxi Benefits-Entire call center is eliminated -Driver responds directly to customer-GPS DB contacts driver closest to customer

End user Benefits-No need to walk to taxi stand-Direct contact to closet taxi

SP Benefits-Potential revenue from customer & vendor-Enter call center market without “call center” investment

Carrier WiFi applications

! Adding off-net mobility to existing voice services! Extend existing branded services beyond coverage area! Applications: Virtual calling card, call forwarding, off-net roaming

! Enabling In-building coverage! Leverage WiFi to improve coverage within shielded buildings! Applications: Coverage, Centrex, PMR replacement,

! Enabling mobility in multimedia services! Leverage the mobility & high speed of WiFi to expand market ! Applications: Personal video conferencing

Issues for 2nd generation WiFi solutions

! Provisioning large number of Access Point’s ! Radio planning & manual AP configuration not cost effective! Desire for auto configuring, self healing, meshed network topology

! User authentication & security ! Web log-in OK for Enterprise but not SP! Security also big issue for Enterprise usage of public WiFi services

! Limited mobility! In building roaming OK for Enterprise but not SP! Dropped connections bad for multimedia services

3rd generation WiFi

Carrier class secure mobility

Cost effective deployment of thousands of Access Points -Network discovery & Auto configuration -Smart radios & wireless backhaul

Over the air & network level security - 802.11i + Peer to peer connectivity

Seamless roaming from home to hot spot- VLAN switching + Mobile IPv6

Concept – v6 Global Communicator

! Enables field personal to have secure end-to-end conversation

! Multiple modes to enable different call groups & security levels

! Separate encryption keys & separate IPv6 addresses can be used for different functions

Combat – Ad hoc local conferencing

CommandCommand

! Stateless node discovery enables mobile hosts to discover each other without the need of a router using LL addressing

! Mobile hosts can leverage a connected host to establish link to the outside world

! Multicast call groups can be dynamically defined to enable conferencing

Closing thoughts

! Currently v6 is the only protocol suited to high scale secure mobile communications

! When properly used v6 can be a powerful enabler of new network functionality

! DoD can leverage substantial work in the carrier sector with respect to tools, terminals and technology

Value & Focus

Frame Relay Leased line replacement

Multi-service ATM Too broad & complex

MPLS Too complex

IPv6 ?

Application Focus Key to Success

! Critical to find & focus on applications which create value for people! Machine applications fine but too abstract to drive change

! Critical to define a roadmap which is technically and financially realistic! Need to properly set expectations with management

! Critical to brand & launch new services like a product! Too often benefits & breakthrough value proposition never
