This is a Technicom podcast.

The next time you're outside or in a restaurant, take a look around.

At the people, I mean.

Chances are, a staggering number of them are staring into a mobile device.

And we shouldn't be surprised because these very devices can do everything for us.

From maps to music, cameras to calculators, our phones never let us down.

But with more phones comes a higher demand for better, faster, smarter, and more efficient connections.

And we have not even touched on the Internet of things which will throw millions more devices

into the mix.

How can the Internet support all of these connected devices?

What is the answer?

I'm Peter Ballant from Technicon, and today we will explore the Reindeer H2020 project.

Building a robust and low latency network to host our devices is part of the answer.

But let's get away from the traditional thinking and look at an infrastructure

which depends on more antennas in more places. Joining us today to fill in the missing

pieces is Lisbett van der Perre from K.U.Loyven in Belgium. She is the technology lead in the

Reindeer project. Lisbitt, thank you for coming on today.

Well, it's my pleasure.

It's no surprise that connected devices are now ubiquitous.

And when I say connected devices, I am talking about mobile phones, computers,

household appliances, heating and cooling systems, vehicles, environmental sensors, and the list goes on.

And that being the case, our infrastructure must adapt, and this is where reindeer comes in.
