The Kick Off meeting of DRAGON project was held today

TTI is glad to be part of the well-balanced consortium. It has complementary know-how in the relevant areas for designing and demonstrating the feasibility of a small cell cellular network architecture based on meshed D band backhaul links. The consortium is formed by VTT, Ceit, ST, Nokia Bell Labs France, Nokia Italia, University Of Pavia, AT&S, HCL Technologies, CEA-LETI, GreenWaves, Turkcell and TTI.

DRAGON will therefore secure Europe’s industrial leadership and pave the way towards innovative 5G telecommunications networks. The DRAGON project, through the exploitation of the radio spectrum in D-band (130-174.8 GHz), will overcome the constraints of current E-band wireless backhaul solutions to achieve a small-form factor and high-capacity radio solution, suitable for massive deployment that will enable bringing the speed of optical systems to backhaul systems in a cost effective way.

TTI will be involved in the project in WP4 (Base Band, Modem Core & Phase Array Management), and WP5 (Subsystem Validation and Integration Platform), with a close interaction with WP2 Radio analog front end and WP3 Antenna Technology partners.
