R&D Projects

R&D and Radio Expertise

R&D and Radio expertise activities allow SIRADEL to always be one step ahead and anticipate on future needs across the wireless industry (B3G, 4G, COFDMA, MIMO, Reconfigurability, UWB, ...).

Thanks to self-sustained R&D, new methods and tools are developed and used to support SIRADEL's propagation software development, geographical production, and consultancy activities.

Based on the know-how acquired in the field and via R&D, SIRADEL help their customers answer complex questions, which extend beyond the scope of planning tools.

Besides SIRADEL participate in national & international R&D projects in order to broaden the scope of our expertise, like:

Pluto project

A European project of research of novel techniques for broadcast transmitter networks that will optimise the use of spectrum and minimise the performance demands on end user equipment. (Please visit the official webpage).

Recitent project

Definition and equipment optimisation for indoor reception of DVB-T signals, taking into account cost difference compared to fixed reception and coverage rate.

Rhodos project

An experimenting network combining UMTS/TDD and WLAN technologies and featuring innovative and particularly QoS-demanding services such as video conferencing and video streaming.

Lao Tseu project

Investigating HSDPA, HSUPA and TD-SCDMA. Polarisation diversity and the MIMO approach will be further analysed.

Iroise project

Definition and validation of the seamless connectivity between national and regional WAN's, coupling between LMDS and WMAN/WLAN at 40GHz and 5GHz. High bit rate multimedia services are targeted including digital video (TV quality).

Erasme project

The goal of ERASME is to realize an LMDS platform in the 40.5-43.5 GHz band based in the Technopole de Limoges, in order to study the technological feasibility of high speed multimedia applications in the 41 GHz band.

Ermitages project

French research project (RNRT) aimed at investigating the BLAST concept application in the UMTS-TDD communication mode.

Commindor project

Study and design of new broadband (155 Megabit/s) wireless communication systems in the 60 GigaHz band inside buildings, suitable for future domestic networks, allowing to interconnect and control residential multimedia equipment.
