The Wireless Trondheim Living Lab is a member of ENOLL - European Network of Living Labs

The Wireless Trondheim Living Lab has been established as a local arena in Trondheim for open and user driven innovation related to mobile services and technology.

By being member of the wider network of European network of living labs (ENOLL), we aim to

• Extend and improve the development of own services through increased influx of ideas and resources (by involving users, in particular students and school children, and also from other living labs)

• Better exploit the possibilities of the network by enabling also others e.g. other ENOLL-members to use the facilities for testing out new services and technology.

• Increase the research activities, both nationally and internationally in the field, and by this be able to extend the lab and to cooperate with other research partners including existing and future living labs in ENOLL

• Anchoring the Wireless Trondheim initiative locally and extend cooperation between the involved parties

The Wireless Trondheim Living Lab includes three distinct parts:

• The Access Network: A shared Wi-Fi network covering the main part of the city centre operated by Wireless Trondheim ltd (Trådløse Trondheim AS) – the same technology are applied providing in-door and out-door Wi-Fi coverage at the University areas. See http://wirelesstrondheim.no for further details.

• A Service Research and Development Lab. 
• A Networking Lab or the “Street’n Roof Lab”: This features its own physical infrastructure in parallel to the Access Network.

• Context-aware services. In addition to look at general frameworks for context-aware services, we are developing, testing and investigating the diffusion on a number of concrete services. This includes location-based services, where we currently have a demonstration service for accessing historical pictures from the city.
• Services for tourist, supporting both planning using a PC-platform, mobile support during the trip, and support for user-generated contents during and after the trip.
• Personalized shopping oriented services utilizing profil information and semantic web technologies. 
• Services utilizing presence information

• Mobile news services

• Public mobile services

• Services for mobile workers, including health workers, maintenance workers, builders, public services and crises management

• Mobile health services, including mobile monitoring

• Mobile learning services

• Services within entertainment, art, and culture, including social multi-player mobile games, and festival-oriented services.

In addition to development and research on new services, we are looking more generally on issues of trust in connection to the use of mobile services, and the simulation of the changes in value networks due to the introduction of disruptive technologies. We also do research on methods for development and evolution of mobile services and mobile information systems. The different research projects are done in close cooperation with Norwegian and International industry, public sector, and research institutes and universities both in Norway and abroad.
