MUSIS2: MUlticast Services and Information in Sweden
Project description
The MUSIS2 (MUlticast Services and Information in Sweden, http://www.musis.se) project is the second part of an international research effort that brings together companies and organizations with research to develop new mobile services. These mobile information and entertainment services explored in this project can provide relevant information directly to the handset, help capture market share, deepen relationships with users, and establish revenue opportunities.
Why does it matter
Benefits for collaboration include direct new channels of communication to your network, media coverage with TV4syd and other national media. Opportunities to network on national level with other networks by creating a Regional Kronoberg channel of SMEs that can broadcast locally and nationally, thus helping to create more competitive effective networks.
Partners and funding sources
MUSIS is partially funded by governmental bodies – Swedish Vinnova and Israel ’s Matimop – as part of the SIBED program, a joint Swedish-Israeli mobile technology research effort. The project has a timeframe of 15 months and concludes in January 2008.
Results
The expected results will be ready to implement business cases for industry and SMEs, robust technology platforms for the delivery of rich content across different devices and operators, innovative testing facilities, and solid research dissemination
Methodology
Utilizing the expertise of CDT and CeLeKT, MUSIS II will expand the test-bed’s major role in this project is to create realistic scenarios for new content services with the SME’s customers and employees, public sector organizations and the general public. Through a contextual design approach we will further develop a web and mobile based test-bed platform to provide a single point for trials. This approach affords us a common framework to interact and support users in the trial providing us with foundation to conduct our empirical research.
The test-bed will enable the project’s parties to explore and identify new mobile services that are attractive, promising and useful for this market together with the potential users. The services will be designed according to end users’ and market needs, and will enable the parties to get trial results that reflect real market use. In addition to the test-bed’s major role as an arena to explore content-based services, the trial will provide the basis for finding new business models and opportunities using existing technology and network infrastructure. The trials will take place with SME’s and public organizations.
