WISDOM

converging disruptive technologies that enable

• WISDOM is an evolution towards a new communication

connectivity era, offering frequencies up to Tera-Hertz

and data rate up to Tbps.

• WISDOM exploits the 4G infrastructure and leads the

wireless communication towards the realization of true

5G systems.

• Tangible products software and hardware components

for operators, vendors & service providers.
