Objective
WIN project will demonstrate a cellular wireless communication platform, which will cover the networking needs of a medium size area cell and provide high bit rate access to Internet, user-defined services and e-commerce services. The project will deploy the wireless network, survey the market and select subscribers groups, develop user-defined and e-commerce applications, as required, and measure post-deployment network performance and subscriber acceptability and satisfaction
Work description:
The work, organised in a series of work-packages, focus on the implementation and market evaluation of a cellular wireless communication system providing high bit rate access to Internet.
To this end:
a) a network infrastructure will be deployed selecting the location of each element of the network and the subscribers groups at the specific site and the most promising for the trial phase, services will be selected,
b) a market survey will be conducted in order to identify the profiles of the users and services and a business plan will be produced, enabling the operator who would offer the new services to make a business oriented decision, and finally,
c) a trial will be conducted demonstrating the capability of sustaining at least 2Mbps access rates to the Internet allowing the provision of e-commerce services.
Milestones:
The project aims to demonstrate the viability and financial profitability of a cellular wireless communication platform which will cover the needs of Internet connectivity of the average consumer.
