Welcome to
REWIND project website
REWIND focuses on one of
the most important concepts in wireless network
infrastructure that will revolutionize the level of
wireless broadband services in terms of network capacity
and coverage while reducing operational expenditures. In
this concept, the Relay based Wireless Network, will
create through proliferation of low-cost, easy to
install Relay Stations providing the necessary capacity
and coverage to support new wireless applications with
similar QoS currently available only through wired
broadband service (e.g. DSL). At the same time the Relay
Station receiving its capacity from its own access
network through an efficient backhauling mechanism will
maximize utilization of the infrastructure capacity and
spectrum reuse, without the need for additional CAPEX or
OPEX associated with dedicated backhaul. As REWIND is
looking to develop state-of-the-art technology, products
and network that will have effect on the network of the
future in the coming years, it will be based on WiMAX,
the most advanced, yet available and standardized
broadband wireless technology.
REWIND has two main
objectives:
•
Creation of a complete WiMAX relay based beta network.
•
To provide support and directions to WiMAX relay
standardization by providing inputs through
participation and contributions on the aspects developed
in the creation of the beta network.
