Ubiqam in FP7

Ubiqam is a member of the European Commission FP7 REWIND Project, in which it develops together with additional 5 partners from Spain, Greece and Israel a WiMAX Relay Beta System and Standards.

The main scientific and technological objectives of the REWIND project are in the area of design, development and integration of advanced wireless relay stations based on OFDM technology, in order to foster and exemplify the WiMAX technology by delivering to the subscriber broadband multimedia content. It aims to increase the bandwidth and quality of service to the end users.

The REWIND approach is the creation of a complete European “food-chain” of industry and research actors that are fundamental to the creation of the relay based wireless network. Creation of a consortium consisting of: Network Operator, System Integrator, Interoperability and Conformance Lab, Equipment Provider, Technology Provider and Research Institute.

Objectives: Creation of a complete WiMAX relay based beta network including network architecture, system specification, integration and interoperability of the developed relay product with standard WiMAX base station and subscriber station equipment and performance testing.

Funded by: VII Framework Programme

Period: 2008 – 2010
