REINDEER will develop a new type of smart connectivity platform creating hyper-diversity. We will design cell-free protocols and distributed intelligent processing establishing robust and scalable real-time and real-space interactive applications. Operating in this infrastructure will be with ultra-efficient usage of energy and bandwidth. Smart connectivity technologies for interactive experiences, with perceived zero latency and uninterrupted availability both in time and in location within the service operation.

The REINDEER project will develop a new smart connect-compute platform with a capacity that is scalable to quasi-infinite, and that offers perceived zero latency and interaction with an extremely high number of embedded devices. It will thereto develop “RadioWeaves” technology, a new wireless access infrastructure consisting of a fabric of distributed radio, computing, and storage resources which function as a massive, distributed antenna array. We will develop protocols and algorithms to establish novel resilient interactive applications that require ‘real-time’ and ‘real-space’ cooperation, for future robotized industrial environments, immersive entertainment, and intuitive care. We will co-design focusing algorithms and protocols for enhanced interaction with many energy-neutral devices. REINDEER will provide experimental proof-of-concept in versatile testbeds. The project will reinforce the European technological leadership and the innovation will create new business opportunities.
