The introduction of third generation mobile communications is no longer imminent but incident in Europe, and throughout the world. At the same time, research for wireless communication systems beyond the third generation is in full swing. The European Wireless 2005 Conference focuses on technologies, protocols, services and applications that will enable a full seamless and nomadic user access to new classes of multimedia services with a user-centric focus. Service provision will occur at the home, at the workplace, at leisure and during travel. The vision is to integrate the wireless local area and next generation cellular networks and develop the next generation of future wireless communication. Such networks will enable the provision of ubiquitous wireless services, which will become more and more innovative as they are driven by the consumer demands of the user and as a result of competition between the service providers. This is the main theme chosen for the European Wireless 2005 Conference, which will be held in Nicosia, Cyprus, on April 11-15, 2005. The focus of the conference will be the technical challenges which need to be met in order to make the vision of the ubiquitous provision of innovative wireless services a reality.

Scope of the Conference

Wireless communications is today one of the most dynamic
sectors of our global economy. The introduction of third
generation mobile communications is no longer imminent but
incident in Europe, and throughout the world. At the same time,
research for wireless communication systems beyond the third
generation is in full swing.

The European Wireless 2005 Conference focuses on
technologies, protocols, services and applications that will enable
a full seamless and nomadic user access to new classes of
multimedia services with a user-centric focus. Service provision
will occur at the home, at the workplace, at leisure and during
travel. The vision is to integrate the wireless local area and next
generation cellular networks and develop the next generation of
future wireless communication. Such networks will enable the
provision of ubiquitous wireless services, which will become
more and more innovative as they are driven by the consumer
demands of the user and as a result of competition between the
service providers. This is the main theme chosen for the
European Wireless 2005 Conference, which will be held in
Nicosia, Cyprus, on April 11-15, 2005. The focus of the
conference will be the technical challenges which need to be met
in order to make the vision of the ubiquitous provision of
innovative wireless services a reality.
