TWEETHER Project Promises 10Gbps MmW 92-95GHz Based Wireless Broadband

Posted by timothy on from the fater-than-a-station-wagon-full-of-tapes dept.

Mark.JUK writes A new project called TWEETHER, which is funded by Europe's Horizon 2020 programme, has been set up at Lancaster University (England) with the goal of harnessing the millimetre wave (mmW) radio spectrum (specifically 92-95GHz) in order to deploy a new Point to Multipoint wireless broadband technology that could deliver peak capacity of up to 10Gbps (Gigabits per second). The technology will take three years to develop and is expected to help support future 5G based Mobile Broadband networks.

    "MmW" would mean... Mega-metre-Watt. Yes, metric, bitches. There's a method to the madness, and getting it wrong can be disastrous like mistaking " for ' can yield disaster. No, you don't get to complain that it's too hard, for it isn't.

      I read that as Mega-milli-Watt.
