Rue du Rhône 114 - CH-1204 Geneva - T: +41 22 849 6000 - F: +41 22 849 6001 - www.ecma-international.org 10 What PN&F provides • PN brings the with-me and not-with-me together (when physically and economically possible) • PN handles the dynamic aspects of the local and non local devices, and presents an abstracted simplified image to the outside world (a complex terminal with fixed and variable capabilities) • PN Federation provide a simple and secure method to share resources with a given user or group of users
Rue du Rhône 114 - CH-1204 Geneva - T: +41 22 849 6000 - F: +41 22 849 6001 - www.ecma-international.org 11 PN&F relevance and the relation with service providers • The PN can provide to a service provider a stable abstraction with a defined quality of service, that allows the service provider a simpler and more stable working environment than the dynamic user and or home network environment • The PN provides to a telecom service provider in addition the possibilities to provide services like: • Interconnection of PN clusters • Management • Data and/or network back/up services • The PN can be for the mobile environment what the combination of router (with NAT) - LAN/Wireless-LAN has done for xDSL: the connection of simple home networks • PN includes ‘peer-to-peer’ networking within the PN, Federation adds secured ‘peer-to-peer’ networking across PNs

Examples: Sharing personal resources Emergency networks Virtual meeting Virtual education Use of a subset of the total resources Driven by purpose or by opportunity Full ad hoc or with support from infrastructure Federations of PNs
