ULTRAWAVE project (“Ultra Capacity Wireless Layer Beyond 100 GHz based on Millimeter Wave Travelling Wave Tubes”) started on September 1, 2017. The kick-off meeting was held on September 14-15, 2017 at Lancaster University in Lancaster, UK.

The meeting started with an open workshop «Wireless communications toward the 300 GHz», where several invited speakers presented several aspects related to wireless backhaul and 5G evolution,  consortium partners presented an overview of their technology and later a panel session on the «Perspectives of high capacity millimetre wave wireless for 5G network and access» was moderated by Claudio Paoloni. After the open session, the internal Kick-off meeting focused on the planning of the first period activities.
