Lancaster University engineers are to head up a European team working on the world's first W-band wireless system, heralding the arrival of cost effective, high speed internet everywhere, every time.

The ground-breaking £2.8 million TWEETHER project, funded by Horizon 2020, the biggest EU research and innovation programme ever, will set an important milestone in ‘millimeter wave technology’ for high speed wireless mobile and fixed point Internet.

Millimeter waves - extremely high frequency waves found in the spectrum between microwaves and infrared waves - are deemed to be the most promising and cost effective solution for the future.

The project will be officially launched on campus on 15 January 2015 when Professor Andy Sutton, the Principal Network Architect at EE, will address the session open to the public with a talk entitled ‘The role of W-band millimeter wave radio systems in next generation mobile networks backhaul’.
