The future "ubiquitous" mobile information
society |
This page provides resources on "ubiquitous" or
"pervasive" mobile, relating to developments in the
miniaturization of mobile wireless devices and the proliferation of
always-on, everywhere communications. This phenomenon has been
referred to as '"pervasive
communications", invisible mobile (Forrester), "ambient computing", "ubiquitous computing"
(USA) or "ubiquitous networking" (Japan). Technological
convergence underlying next-generation networks (NGN) is set to play
a key role in realizing this wireless
ubiquity.
