The H2020 project REINDEER was kicked off today, with the first meeting of the consortium consisting of partners from industry and academia. Find out more here! The project will run until the end of 2024, investigating the capabilities of flexible, distributed infrastructure consisting of large aperture antenna arrays.

REINDEER stands for REsilient INteractive applications through hyper Diversity in Energy Efficient RadioWeaves technology. As a joint work of academic and industry partners, the REINDEER project will develop a new smart connect-compute platform with a capacity that is scalable to quasi-infinite, and that offers perceived zero latency and interaction with an extremely high number of embedded devices. It will thereto develop “RadioWeaves” technology, a new wireless access infrastructure consisting of a fabric of distributed radio, computing, and storage resources which function as a massive, distributed antenna array.

We will develop protocols and algorithms to establish novel resilient interactive applications that require ‘real-time’ and ‘real-space’ cooperation, for future robotized industrial environments, immersive entertainment, and intuitive care. We will co-design focusing algorithms and protocols for enhanced interaction with many energy-neutral devices. REINDEER will provide experimental proof-of-concept in versatile testbeds. The project will reinforce the European technological leadership and the innovation will create new business opportunities.
