U-PrIM (Usable Privacy-enhancing Identity Management for smart applications) is a research project involving the departments of Computer Science, Information Systems and Psychology at Karlstad University (KaU), in collaboration with industry partners Nordea Bank in Denmark and Gemalto in Sweden.
The purpose of the project is to find ways of using future mobile technologies that are secure, privacy-friendly and easy to use.
How will our actions today affect future generations? What would the effect be if we looked not just 50 or 100, but millions of years ahead? And what role does history play in creating a sustainable future?

With the current growth in user demand, future wireless access networks will have to offer capacity, which is 500-1000 times larger than todays 3G networks. Since the capacity increase through advanced physical layer techniques is limited, one promising technique to increase capacity is to shrink cell sizes, also using mmWave technologies (e.g. in 60 GHz range).
