Project description
By 2025, the inclusion of wearable technologies in clothing will become commonplace, especially for professionals working in extreme and dangerous conditions. This interdisciplinary project tackles innovative fundamental challenges at the technology, antenna system and wireless networking levels to further miniaturize devices, to cope with these harsh conditions and to limit the impact of these devices on the environment.
