Andreas joins

Oct. 2005 - Andreas joins and - voilà - we are a team at Agder Mobility Lab, since a team has at least two persons. Andreas dived immediately into UPNP, XML, SOAP, J2ME. Of course he faces now the usual surprises between specifications and reality, e.g., lack of broad IP support in Bluetooth, ad-hoc network support with only ip to 3 nodes, no WiFi multicast on some mobile devices, non-working media libraries ... a nice nightmare. I hope he survives ...

ONE ... Our first project ... sponsored by Ericsson

Ericsson is interested in all things that deal with mobility and future mobile applications. And so are we.

The "ONE" project 2005-2008 is going to solve all (of course!) challenges when it comes to your mobile phone, multimedia, and access to home networks, locally or remote.

As a warm-up exercise we will implement a full UPNP stack, server, client, and control point for Java enabled phones. If we survive that, we'll be able to access our music, videos, and photos from wherever we are.

Didn't you always wish to be able to do that? :-)

Agder Mobility Lab starts ... hurrah

On July 1st, 2005, Frank started his job as "Prof." for Mobile Communications at Agder University College (HiA). The first thing that came to his mind was "We need a logo and a name"!

Fortunately, Gunnar Tyrsing, an old friend, approved the name "Agder Mobility Lab". If friends don't like your ideas, that's not good for your ideas. :-) The logo was bought over the Internet by a design service which promised to work until I was satisfied. Well, I hope you like it ...
