TWEETHER is a European research project funded by the European Commission under the new Framework Programme for Research and Innovation H2020.
The objective of the TWEETHER project is to set a milestone in the millimetre wave technology with the realization of the first W-band (92-95GHz) wireless system for distribution of high speed internet everywhere. The TWEETHER aim is to realise the millimetre wave Point multi Point segment to finally link fibre, and sub-6GHz distribution for a full three segment hybrid network, that is the most cost-effective architecture to reach mobile or fix final individual client. The TWEETHER system will provide indeed economical broadband connectivity with a capacity up to 10Gits/km2 and distribution of hundreds of Mbps to tens of terminals. This will allow the capacity and coverage challenges of current backhaul and access solutions to be overcome.
