Abstract :
The Terminode project follows a system approach to investigate wide area, large, totally wireless networks that we call mobile ad-hoc wide area networks. A network of terminodes is an autonomous, self-organized, wireless multimedia network, independent of any infrastructure. We present the main challenges and certain initial technical directions
