FYI. I guess we should sooner or later discuss how to deal in general with request for endorsements ...

According to the Digital Agenda for Europe, mobile internet traffic is doubling every year. By 2015 25 billion wirelessly connected devices globally are expected, doubling up to 50 billion by 2021. Mobile data traffic will increase 12-fold between 2012 and 2018; accordingly data traffic on smartphones will increase 14 times by 2018. The sole gains on access technologies (e.g. LTE-A) cannot guarantee a fast, reconfigurable and seamless deployment of mobile cellular networks. For these reasons PiCANETs project aims to design, plan and control jointly the access and the backhaul wireless technologies as a unified network (namely a PiCANET) by designing, developing and validating an integrated set of unprecedented technologies, protocols and tools. The project objective is to achieve a breakthrough mobile ultra-high wireless capacity of 10Gbps (x10 spectrum efficiency and capacity) with 1/4 of energy consumption compared to conventional solutions. In order to measure the effectiveness of PiCANETs, three distinct scenarios will be setup in real field trials: * Indoor/Big Events Scenario - 100 users, 100 Mbps down-link each, 100 m2 * Outdoor urban scenario - 100 users, 100 Mbps down-link each, 900 m2 * Outdoor rural scenario - 100 users, 100 Mbps down-link each, 1 Km2. To achieve these challenging objectives the following results will be investigated: * Manage the access and backhaul radio technologies as a unique mobile network; * Enable a seamless and unified programmability of Future Internet access/backhaul network; * Release open Generic Enablers to design, plan and control the Future Internet access/backhaul network; * Develop a toolset to facilitate the deployment and the operation of the Future Internet access/backhaul network. A PiCANET will be composed of two logical layers: a virtualization layer and a management layer. The former layer acts as an adapter between the underlying technology-dependent backhaul/access networks and the technology-neutral management layer. It exposes a set of open APIs to the management layer, while interacting with otherwise proprietary, not-interoperable, heterogeneous backhaul/access technologies. It allows network operator to concurrently manage different technologies as one Software Defined Network, even envisaging several physical networks managed by different operators as a shared resource. The latter layer provides a set of functionalities being accessible by network operator, as well as by third parties. It hosts sophisticated mathematical models and advanced solution algorithms in order to ensure long-term optimal planning as well as short-term control of the backhaul/access network. The developed technologies will be proposed as new standards for reconfigurable and programmable radio and networks, mainly to 3GPP E-UTRA, ETSI Reconfigurable Radio and ONF OpenFlow. The project tools will be developed to be compliant with the FI-WARE WP7 S3C<http://forge.fi-ware.eu/plugins/mediawiki/wiki/fiware/index.php/FIWARE.OpenSpecification.I2ND.S3C> and NetIC<http://forge.fi-ware.eu/plugins/mediawiki/wiki/fiware/index.php/FIWARE.OpenSpecification.I2ND.NetIC> Generic Enablers Open Specifications. If possible, the PiCANETs consortium would like to publish them in the FI-WARE Catalogue to maximize the exploitation benefits of the PPP Future Internet initiative in Europe and globally. This makes the FI-WARE initiative even greater, embracing the results of a variety of FP7 projects and thus being the European lighthouse for the Future internet. I strongly believe that an endorsement letter from the FI-WARE project coordinator can be beneficial for PiCANETs and opens the doors to the development of new ICT products and services in the mobile Broadband markets that are "FI-WARE inside". I kindly ask to you to evaluate this idea and let me know if there is interest to support that kind of initiative. In any case I thanks you for reading the e-mail and apologize for the long wording.
