u-2010 - Key Data

• Integrated EC-project• 3 years duration• €6.5 Mio Budget - €4M EC Contribution• Start May 2006• 16 Partners

– including major players in the IP business– The governments of Luxembourg and Slovenia

participate to support the emergency service trials

u-2010 - Key Data

Best-in Class Research

Background Luxembourg – Previous Study

Study by CONATEL 2003/2004,

• Simulation “Rupture of a dam in the north of Luxembourg (Esch-sur-Sûre)”

• Inventory of Communication Capacities

• Communication requirements in between authorities, rescue services, all the public networks and even national broadcast

The “Barrage d’Esch-sur-Sûre” Scenario

The “Barrage d’Esch-sur-Sûre” Scenario

Communication Communication needs:needs:

PHASE 4 : Bursting PHASE 4 : Bursting of the Damof the Dam

Esch-sur-Sûre: Lessons Learned

Current telecommunication equipment of security and rescue services does not match up to the requirements

• Absence of protected and confidential communications does not allow for a silent mobilisation– use of public GSM phones provides the only possibility

of a minimum of confidentiality

• Public communications are the only alternative – To reach the complete government structure – To connect to subscribers of public networks – BUT: Lack of government owned capacity

• The crisis scenarios required confidential and redundant communication services

Motivation for the Project

Today …..

• There is an increasing dependability on ubiquitous services and networks.

• In crisis and catastrophe scenarios access to information is key

• Expectations based on technical possibilities, exceed reality by far (European wide)

Project Vision

• To provide the most capable communication tools

• To provide the most effective access to information…

• …to all required to swiftly act in case of accident, incident, catastrophe or crisis

• …whilst using existing and/or future (tele)communication infrastructures

Goals of the Project u-2010

• Enhance the availability of the collection of services by use of all existing networks

• Leverage redundant communication channels • Use of automatic redirection and/or

transformation of communications in case of network failures

• Use of new research results in the area of wireless ad hoc networks and IPv6.

• Use of existing technology and networks • Create solutions that are as universal as

possible

Goals of the Project u-2010 continued

• Trial and validation activities will show the application of the results in real life crisis scenarios

• Results of u-2010 as showcase for other Countries

In which situations?

Five broad scenarios to test/demonstrate results:

• Alarm System• Mountain Rescue• Fire Service• Sensor Monitoring• Extrapolation of results to another European site
