PATS is an open community with the aim of promoting development of innovative mobile services. You are encouraged to participate and cooperate with other community members and companies behind PATS

Background

Telenor and NTNU have through several years co-operated on research and education. This co-operation has through PATS been be extended to a triangular co-operation between industry, telecom operators and university.

What's coming

Following the success of PATS, we now introduce PATS 2.0, with increased focus on the community around PATS. Already you can see alot of changes on the portal, and alot of new functionality and partners are on the way

Why register?

If you are an unregistered user, you will have limited access to certain information.  If you are for example a partner or student  we encourage you to specify it to obtain the appropriate access.

Intentions and vision

The purpose of PATS is to strengthen and further develop a multilateral professional co-operation on research, development and education for the mutual professional benefit. Further, the intention is to define the framework for more specific agreements on distinct professional tasks concerning co-operation, research and development. This framework will be the foundation of a platform for creating commercially exploitable projects among the partners.

The vision of PATS is to create a centre of excellence on advanced heterogeneous services and fast service development, established as a mutually beneficial collaboration between partners from industry, university and telecom-operators. AVANTEL (Advanced Telecom services) and ARTS (Arena for Research on advanced Telecom Services) are projects that support the intentions and vision of PATS.

PATS addresses the following areas:

• Service platforms with open interfaces and access to a heterogeneous set of access networks and core networks
• Service architectures and service execution frameworks that enable fast development and modular deployment/withdrawal of reliable heterogeneous services
• Methodology for engineering of services to increase scalability, dependability and quality
• Contributions to standardisation of OSA and Parlay
• Creating a test bed for interoperability and a laboratory for student projects and thesis work with a portfolio of differentiated services.
