Sweden-Nigeria Business Forum SWEDEN-NIGERIA BUSINESS FORUM STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN 18-19 MAY 2020 Partnerships between Sweden and Nigeria on ICT, Energy and Transport towards building a Smarter and Innovation Driven Cities www.eqtpartners.com ABOUT DELEGATION HIGH-LEVEL NIGERIAN BUSINESS DELEGATION TO SWEDEN LED BY MINISTER FOR TRADE & INVESTMENT, NIGERIA, H.E. OTUNBA ADENIYI ADEBAYO, STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN, MAY 18TH -19TH 2020 Sweden is a global leader in innovation and ranked first in Europe according to the European innovation scoreboard. Sweden spends more on Research & Development than any European nation (3% of GDP) and excels in promoting training and transfer of knowledge with partner countries and businesses. Over the years, this has given Swedish enterprises a unique head-start on the global scene with innovations like Bluetooth, Spotify, Skype and global companies like Ericsson, Scania, Volvo and ABB. Sweden´s capital Stockholm is currently producing the highest number of so-called ‘unicorns’ (or billion-dollar tech companies) per capita after Silicon Valley. Sweden is also ranked as the world´s most digitized economy. Investments and advancement in ICT have played a crucial role in diversifying the economy, creating new companies and jobs and developed smart new solutions in various sectors, including energy and transport. Nigeria is the biggest country and economy in Africa, with a population of approximately 200 million, accounting for 47% of West Africa’s population and over 65% of West Africa’s GDP. With abundant natural resources and a young, dynamic population, the country has long played an important role on the continent and it has the potential to be a wider global player in the coming decades. Presently, Nigeria hosts the second largest number of active innovation hubs in Africa with 55 hubs and its largest state Lagos ranks the first ecosystem on the continent. Recent commitments from Facebook, Google and Accion Microfinance are nothing but a recognition of the importance of the Nigerian market. Nigeria is also leading in the ambitious regional electrical connectivity project for the West African region under the auspices of the West African Power Pool (WAPP). The Nigerian Government’s commitments and efforts to develop the country’s infrastructure, diversify the economy and create jobs requires innovative solutions. The power of collaboration and co-creation is key. The delegation and resulting activities aim to builds on previous exchanges and partnerships between the two countries, including the Swedish Minister for Trade’s visit to Nigeria in 2016, the Swedish-Nigerian Innovation day in Lagos in 2018, the event Nordic-Nigeria Connect, Innovating for Change, in Lagos in 2019 and the recently concluded Nigeria Digital Economy Summit in Abuja with Sweden selected as the partner country in 2019.

  • Integrating Wi-Fi and Femtocells a Feasibility Study Based on a Techno Economic Comparison of the Two Technologies
    Integrating Wi-Fi and Femtocells A feasibility study based on a techno economic comparison of the two technologies RAZVAN POPESCU Master of Science Thesis Stockholm, Sweden 2013 Integrating Wi-Fi and Femtocells A feasibility study based on a techno economic comparison of the two technologies Student Razvan Popescu Supervisor Ashraf Awadelakrim Widaa Ahmed Examiner Jan I Markendahl Wireless@KTH School of Information and Communication Technology, KTH-Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden June 2013 Abstract At the end of 2009 mobile industry reached an inevitable milestone; the aggregated mobile data traffic exceeded voice traffic in the mobile networks. Starting with this point, data consumption has been continuously increasing and there are no signs that this behaviour will change in the future. For this reason mobile operators face nowadays a new paradox: they have to invest massively in their networks in order to sustain the increasing traffic while revenues are not expected to rise. This means that in order to survive, operators have to add extra capacity in a cost-efficient way. Using indoor solutions and mobile data offloading has been considered one right approach for solving this issue. While indoor solutions like Distributed Antenna Systems and repeaters have been used in the mobile networks for some time now, data offloading represents a relatively newcomer in the mobile industry. Using this concept, data traffic generated by mobile devices is moved towards alternative networks releasing the congestion in the operators’ macrocell layers. Among indoor solutions, two technologies stepped forward, Wi-Fi and Femtocells. This MSc thesis studies these two technologies, making a techno- economic comparison between them with respect on QoS level, interference, security and capacity-cost ratio.

  • A Techno-Economic Comparison Between Outdoor Macro-Cellular and Indoor Offloading Solutions
    A techno-economic comparison between outdoor macro-cellular and indoor offloading solutions FEIDIAS MOULIANITAKIS Master's Degree Project Stockholm, Sweden August 2015 TRITA-ICT-EX-2015:224 A techno-economic comparison between outdoor macro-cellular and indoor offloading solutions Feidias Moulianitakis 2015-08-31 Master’s Thesis Examiner Academic adviser Prof. Jan Markendahl Ashraf A. Widaa Ahmed School of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) KTH Royal Institute of Technology Stockholm, Sweden Abstract Mobile penetration rates have already exceeded 100% in many countries. Nowadays, mobile phones are part of our daily lives not only for voice or short text messages but for a plethora of multimedia services they provide via their internet connection. Thus, mobile broadband has become the main driver for the evolution of mobile networks and it is estimated that until 2018 the mobile broadband traffic will exceed the level of 15 exabytes. This estimation is a threat to the current mobile networks which have to significantly improve their capacity performance. Furthermore, another important aspect is the fact that 80% of the mobile broadband demand comes from indoor environments which add to the signal propagation the burden of building penetration loss. Keeping these facts in mind, there are many potential solutions that can solve the problem of the increasing indoor mobile broadband demand. In general, there are two approaches; improve the existing macro-cellular networks by for example enhancing them with carrier aggregation or enter the buildings and deploy small cell solutions such as femtocells or WiFi APs. Both the academia and the industry have already shown interest in these two approaches demonstrating the importance of the problem.

  • Graphical System Visualization and Flow Display a Visual Representation of an Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting Backend
    DEGREE PROJECT IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, SECOND LEVEL STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN 2016 Graphical system visualization and flow display A visual representation of an authentication, authorization, and accounting backend JOAKIM AF SANDEBERG KTH ROYAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY Graphical system visualization and flow display A visual representation of an authentication, authorization, and accounting backend Joakim af Sandeberg Master of Science Thesis Communication Systems School of Information and Communication Technology KTH Royal Institute of Technology Stockholm, Sweden 28 July 2016 Examiner: Gerald Q. Maguire Jr. c Joakim af Sandeberg, 28 July 2016 Abstract Displaying the architecture of a software system is not a simple task. Showing all of the available information will unnecessarily complicate the view, while showing too little might render the view unhelpful. Furthermore, showing the dynamics of the operation of such a system is even more challenging. This thesis project describes the development of a graphical tool that can both display the configuration of an advanced authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) system and the messages passed between nodes in the system. The solution described uses force-based graph layouts coupled with adaptive filters as well as vector-based rendering to deliver a view of the status of the system. Force-based layout spreads out the nodes in an adaptive fashion. The adaptive filters starts by showing what is most often the most relevant information, but can be configured by the user. Finally, the vector based rendering offers unlimited zoom into the individual nodes in the graph in order to display additional detailed information. Unified Modeling Language (UML) sequence charts are used to display the message flow inside the system (both between nodes and inside individual nodes).

  • User Friendly Access Solutions for Mobile Wimax
    User Friendly Access Solutions for Mobile WiMAX Brage Rønning Tukkensæter Master of Science in Communication Technology Submission date: June 2009 Supervisor: Yuming Jiang, ITEM Co-supervisor: Thomas Jelle, Trådløse Trondheim Lene Maria Myhre, Trådløse Trondheim Norwegian University of Science and Technology Department of Telematics Problem Description The objective of this project is to investigate possible user friendly access solutions for Mobile WiMAX. The study includes both a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part should investigate the IEEE 802.16e and WiMAX Forum standards for user access. Security should be discussed, and a brief comparison with Wi-Fi and GSM/UMTS access solutions should be given. The practical part should design and implement a proof-of concept access solution for Mobile WiMAX, including organizational RADIUS authentication and paying users. The access solution should give users secure and user friendly access to the Mobile WiMAX network. Assignment given: 21. January 2009 Supervisor: Yuming Jiang, ITEM Abstract Today, WiMAX networks are deployed several places worldwide. To get access to these networks, users have to buy equipment specialized for one operator with a subscription. User equipment has earlier been stationary or mounted, but with the Mobile WiMAX amendment, smaller receivers are made possible. Mobile WiMAX allows users to move between different operators, making user access and roaming a more challenging task. In this thesis, several Mobile WiMAX access solutions are discussed, emphasizing security and user friendliness. A captive portal solution is developed, and an EAP-TTLS (Extensible Authentication Protocol - Tunneled Transport Layer Security) solution utilizing FreeRADIUS is planned. Security in WiMAX is compared to Wi-Fi very good.
