The project ULTRAWAVE “ULTRA CAPACITY WIRELESS LAYER BEYOND 100 GHZ BASED ON MILLIMETER WAVE TRAVELING WAVE TUBES” started on September 1, 2017. The kick-off meeting was held on September 14, 2017 at Lancaster University in Lancaster, UK. The meeting started with an open session to present the project and the partners comprising the ULTRAWAVE consortium. Several speakers, gave a talk about Wireles backhaul, 5G evolution in millimetre wave spectrum and resource management.  A panel session was held on perspectiveson of high capacity millimetre wave wireless for 5G networks. After the open session, the meeting focused on the planning of the first period activities.
