Abstract :
The ATHENA European Research project (FP6-507312) is proposing a specific structure of hybrid communications access network, exploiting the particularities of the DVB-T system in offering broadband connectivity to Internet for a large category of users. Based on this structure, a specific test-bed was implemented at Politehnica University of Bucharest using the interoperability capabilities of the 802.16d WMAN (WiMax) and DVB-T. This paper deals with the specific aspects of this test bed, describes some tools and applications developed and tested by means of it
