RESILIENT INTERACTIVE
APPLICATIONS
THROUGH HYPER DIVERSITY IN ENERGY
EFFICIENT RADIOWEAVES TECHNOLOGY
The REINDEER project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innova-
tion programme under grant agreement No. 101013425.
About The REINDEER project will develop a new smart connect-compute platform with a capacity that is scalable and offers percei- ved zero latency while interacting with an extremely high number of embedded devices. This is made possible through the development of, RadioWeaves techno- logy, a new wireless access infrastructure consisting of a fabric of distributed radio, computing, and storage resources which function as a massive, distributed anten- na array. REINDEER will develop protocols and algorithms to establish novel resilient interactive applications that require real time and real space cooperation, for fu- ture robotized industrial environments, immersive entertainment, and intuitive care. The project will co-design focusing algorithms and protocols for enhanced interaction with many energy-neutral de- vices powered wirelessly from the connec- tivity platform. REINDEER will provide experimental proof-of-concept in versati- le testbeds. The project will reinforce the European technological leadership and the innovation will create new business oppor- tunities.

The REINDEER consortium con- 9
sists of nine partners from four
countries (Austria, Belgium, Swe-
den and Spain). The consortium
is a well-balanced mixture of three
industrial organisations, four uni-
versities/research organisations
and two SMEs. This constellation
has enabled to attract leading or-
