Abstract

The paper gives a presentation of the ACTS Project AC215 CRABS which focuses on the development and demonstration of a broadband radio system for interactive services operated at 40 GHz. The project covers service and user aspects, architecture and systems studies including extensive simulations, studies of propagation issues to determine propagation type quality of service (QoS) criteria and coverage models and equipment studies including technical trials. The project is highly trials oriented and trials have now started in 5 European countries. The results of the project are expected to form the foundation for recommendations of a future system
