Project description

SHAPE develops a next generation wireless network based on holographic beam forming and 3D Large Intelligent Surfaces (LIS) integrating thousands of optically interconnected antenna elements.This will allow the support of a large number of dynamically shaped 3D-cells supporting a wide range
of bitrates (up to 1 Tbit/s), ultra-reliability (up to 99,99999%) and low latency (well below 1 msec).
