Technical approach

The project focuses on Offering a high data rate (2 Mbit/s throughput) hot spot complementary / interoperable with existing infrastructure networks (TETRA, Tetrapol).

The widens ad hoc network is composed of terminodes: a terminode is a versatile Software Defined Radio communication node with mixed enhanced handset terminal and IP Router features.

It plays the role of:
A wireless node to extend the coverage area, supporting advanced ad-hoc relaying features, up to the IP layer.
An end user terminal when it runs an application, delivering enhanced Services: Voice, Data, Image; the distributed applications based on the suite of internet protocols over TCP or UDP are supported on a larger scale.
A Gateway toward a Backbone Network or other terminals.
