Beaming the internet across Europe

Developing ways to connect homes and businesses to the internet without using wires is the aim of a new project announced today. The research at Imperial College London could help users across Europe to access the internet, by removing the need to lay out connecting phone lines or other cables between the public internet and a users building or network.The new project, which sees Imperial working with academic and industrial partners across Europe, aims to use wireless links with advanced antennae instead of such wires to beam a radio signal between buildings' local area networks and external routers. A mesh of routers beaming data between them would form a wireless network which would relay data to and from the public internet.
