title = "Communications Technologies: VTT's Research Programme 2002-2006: Final Report",
abstract = "The results of VTT's strategic technology theme (program) {"}Future Communications Technologies{"} are described. The theme was a research entity during the years 2002-2006 with a goal to study and develop technologies which enable users to communicate {"}anywhere, anytime{"} with the appropriate quality of service. This goal was approached on several hierarchical levels from physical electronics up to software based systems. Therefore the theme consisted of three main topical areas: networks, radio frequency technology and smart environments. At radio frequencies new kinds of microelectromechanical (MEMS) components and devices were developed, as well as selected manufacturing processes and integrated circuits. In network technology the emphasis was on the new generation mobile network with wireless multimedia applications. Basic technologies for intelligent environments were also researched and developed.",
