Wireless World Research Forum www.wwrf.ch

WWRF’s goal is to encourage research that will achieve unbounded communications to address key societal challenges for the future.

 

We are using the term “Wireless World” in this broad sense to address

- the support of innovation and business,

- social inclusion and

- infrastructural challenges

 

This will be achieved by creating a range of new technological capabilities from wide-area networks to short-range communications, machine-to-machine communications, sensor networks, wireless broadband access technologies and optical networking, along with increasing intelligence and virtualization in networks

 

This will support a dependable future Internet of people, knowledge and things and the development of a service universe.
