Abstract: 

In the last decade wireless technology and systems created an explosive growth in a wide range of data services. Services started with voice, video and image transmissions. Bottleneck was often the limited data transmission capacity. However, recent breakthroughs in throughput allow for much higher data rates over the same wireless channel and thus for support of many more demanding services. The majority of on-going developments show that applications have COmmunications, NAvigation, SENnsing and SErvices in common. These applications play a key role in the Foundation CONASENSE operating as world-wide Brain Tank and as Scientific Platform.In the lecture, I chose for visionary wireless services which require stringent demands to be fulfilled by next generation wireless technologies and systems. Characteristic for the services is the importance for Society and/or the expectation of a substantial market potential.First application area is related to health. Most advanced applications and latest developments are directed into means for non-healthy persons while for healthy persons only less advanced technology is available. However, the large majority is healthy and wants to stay healthy as long as possible by using CONASENSE-type of services. The advanced services should be manifold but at least should allow for real-time individual health monitoring, on-line (video and speech) connection with data bases and advises for stimulating actions on what and how to do but also what not to do. Dedicated broadband wireless sensors with integrated new “aps” are needed in order to create a match between the best actions and the capabilities of the healthy person.Second application area is related to smart cities. We never had so many cities with a population of 5 million inhabitants or more and the number of these cities increases. Many societal problems have to be solved. Many big countries should work on breakthroughs to make the environment inside the cities more safe and healthy. A multi-disciplinary approach is urgently needed and there is a big role for future wireless CONASENSE related activities.
