Ericsson Conducts IPv6 Over 3G UMTS/WCDMA Demo

Ericsson conducted a demonstration of seamless, emergency mobile communications that combined IPv6, 3G (UMTS/WCDMA) and WLANs. The emergency system, called Guardian Angel, provides seamlessly communications and data (heart rate and blood pressure) for medical staff as a patient travels by ambulance. The information is transmitted via GSM/GPRS or UMTS/WCDMA. Once the ambulance reaches the hospital, the system can automatically switch over to an indoor WLAN hot spot. Data flows can use separate network interfaces in parallel. The demonstration was a joint effort within the 6WINIT project consisting of University Hospital at Tubingen, University of Stuttgart Computing Center, University of Bremen, University College London and Ericsson. It took place at Ericsson’s headquarters in Stockholm in the presence of invited EU-officials.
