We present results from the first field trial to show that SmartRotuaari provides a functional framework for large-scale field trials for the purpose of empirical evaluation of technology; new services; customer behavior and business models in real end user environment. Our work is based on a seamless cooperation between the various players in the R&D and business networks.
