No one cares about the Cloud
• 95% of those claiming never to have used the Cloud, actually do so via online banking, shopping, music…
• People don’t care how, they care about convenience.
They care about convenience so much that mobile Cloud is Key to All Cars…
Newspapers - 480 m daily
PCs - 1.1 b Phones - 1.2 b land-line Internet users - 1.4 b
Transforms car value equation:80% of innovation in car today from ICT
Vehicle 3rd-fastest-growing connected device
(smartphones, tablets)
Clarity
• Cloud: data acquisition or distribution through the Internet and wireless networks (not stored locally)
• Dramatic uses in places we don’t see– Developing world: b/m used cars Kenya, Nigeria
• Redefines car as moving information transceiver
The Cloud Means…Standardization
• A comparison that Red Hat CEO Jim Whitehurst made recently on the importance of standardization during the manufacturing era, of assembly parts: “If nuts and bolts had been patented and you had to buy your screwdriver from the same company that made the screws, the jet engine would not have been invented. Nuts and bolts were the ‘open source’ of the manufacturing era.” Jim compares the arrival of the Cloud to the standardizing influence of nuts and bolts, making a plug-and-perform component assembly possible in the information era.
…Efficiency
• Cloud services can be deployed rapidly for substantial savings. The GSA shifted email to the cloud, for example, for a 50% reduction over 5 years. Clouds are:
• Economical: with pay-as-you go, low initial investment;• Flexible: able to add or subtract capability quickly and easily;
and• Fast: eliminating long certification processes, while
providing a near-limitless selection of services.
• Keystone private sector organizations have been quick to create Cloud ecoystems to make adoption easier. IBM plans to support about 200 million users by the end of 2012 as clients shift core applications and processes to the IBM SmartCloud.
…Mandated information flow
• The U.S. feds spent $600-billion on IT in the past decade, with little improvement compared to the private sector. Projects were hand-crafted, over-budget, and behind schedule.”
• The shift that is now mandated to the “Cloud First” policy will:
– TERMINATE one-third of underperforming projects;– CRUSH 800 datacentres out of 2,000, because they exist to run custom-
made software;– MODULARIZE development– CREATE a government-wide marketplace for data centre availability.
• Information will be force-fed into the Cloud, and vehicles will tap into it

What‘s in the Mobile Cloud?: Video
• Mobile Web browsing and especially mobile video will grow.
• By 2015, mobile video will account for 68.5 percent of all mobile data usage in the U.S. (or 224 petabytes/month).
• Coda estimates that 95 million mobile handset subscribers in the U.S. will be watching video on their phones in five years out of a total of 158 million mobile internet users.
Car Design
• Smaller central console, data on remote server
• Increases the car’s capabilities
– Better drive dynamics, suspension Cloud-adjusted
• Safety
– GPS-enabled augmented reality; lane-changing
Ford Evos Hybrid Concept Car
Driving Experience
• Distance optimization between cars• External sensor info via Cloud
– Climate sensing triggers car (defrost windows)
• Travel: where you are, what’s ahead• Personalized data travels with you
– Calendars, music
• Health: heart rate monitor• Voice-delivered Twitter, Facebook updates (BMW)• Cloud as restrictive tool
– Shuts down texting, or calling over a certain speed
• Driverless Cars – now legal in Nevada
Infrastructure
• E-vehicles talk to power smart-grids – Determines best times for charging
• Geo-location (find what you’re looking for as you drive) saves time, fuel
• Route optimization:– Traffic and weather download and interaction– App lets travelling buddies stay close together
IBM and Swiss Utility use smartphone app for
remote charging
Basics• User interface vital - intuitive
– MyFord touchscreen interface hurt quality index
• Right content, right time (esp. 1st Responders)• Does app exceed customer needs?
– Car’s calendar linked appointments to alarm clock
• Safety, not flash, is the prime concern– 91 % would love to see a lane-change, blind-spot warning
system in their cars. – 83 % want in-vehicle technologies that would automatically call
a tow truck– Three-quarters would like technology that would stop their car if
the driver suffers a heart attack or other sudden illness
Some activity
• Toyota and Microsoft – Global Cloud-based telematics system
• Intel’s new $100-m Cloud car fund
• GM Onstar has 6m users
• Ford SNYC crowd-sourced Cloud contest: Caravan Track
• QNX voice control over infotainment
QNX concept car: Porsche Carrera
Evolution
• Surround the car occupant with the social network and global knowledge– Car interior as a friend delivering
employee networks, all contacts, all news, entertainment, health, travel, and environmental control
• New technology is rapidly being deployed that transforms the communications opportunities for First Responders.
• Vehicles = mobile intelligent sensors and autonomous networking nodes
• A Test-Bed will allow FRs to find optimal solutions and showcase uses.
NVA: Cloud and First Responders
LTE: Compelling for RespondersNarrow-band will remain platform of choice for mission-critical needs for some years to come… THEN LTE
• Supported by all service providers, makers
• Vendors and device ecosystem support
• Simple antenna, multiple services
• Strong security
• Endorsed by major Public Safety associations
• Continuously evolving technology
Technology Momentum Application to First Responders Proposed Test-Bed
Elements
• Real road, real world
• Control and assembly area
• In-vehicle data hook-ups and back office

Priorities
Interoperability Single solution for all emergency
services and with municipal and other
information infrastructures
All-important
Information
Management
Provision of exactly the right
information in the emergency context;
tie-in to infra like traffic lights
Could help ambulances and
fire vehicles get clear lanes
Want to use Test-Bed to
transmit more information;
see what happens.
Equipment
Unification
Test of approaches like software-
defined-radio to make a single device do
the work of many
Remote Access Evaluate proposed solutions
Top UsesFeature Description Comments
Collaboration All emergency services work hand-in-
hand with Private Sector
First time in Canadian
emergency service history

Mobile Technologies Support Each Other
3G/UMTS/HSDPA/4G and WLAN are NOT competitors….
…they support each other as partners
With much of this increased traffic directly attributable to dual-mode smartphones featuring both 3G and WiFi access – with the iPhoneTM representing the vanguard of this movement – many mobile operators are now looking at WiFi networks as a way to offload data from their 2G or 3G infrastrucure. Offloading effectively forestalls the requirement for expensive mobile network upgrades while delivering a positive user experience. That is, assuming the WiFi network is up to the task.

Limitations in Spectrum
• Little available spectrum• Max spectrum usage 17%
Proliferation of Wireless Devices
• 24 Billion devices by 2020 (GSMA)• Open Access environment• Increasing security vulnerabilities
28
Future Challenges in Wireless CommunicationsMajor Trends:
• Ubiquitous, global wireless broadband communications
• New Wave of wireless connectivity: Smart grid, cars, buildings, medical devices, TVs, gaming devices, appliances, tablets...
• IP protocol centric communications
Spectrum Sharing Innovation Impediments
• Primary use of indoor simulation/emulation (WiFi) environments
• Lack of realistic physical testbed environment for spectrum sharing research and experimentation
• Industry looking for assurance on ROI drivers, limiting focus to a few spectrum bands– RF behaviors, spectrum etiquettes, security, loss of control
• Lack of integrated testbed environments with cellular, grid, transportation and cyber infrastructure
• Collaboration need between national and commercial stakeholders
