The fifth Wi-5 project meeting has recently been held at Liverpool John Moores University from the 22nd to 23rd of February 2017. During the meeting the members of the new partner PrimeTel telecommunications company have officially met the rest of the Wi-5 team.

The meeting also allowed all the partners to discuss the latest developments of the architecture, business models and algorithms and to prepare the next annual review that will be held in Brussels in March. Finally, the partners planned out the work to be completed over the third year of the project in terms of implementation, integration of all the developed Wi-Fi functionalities in the architecture and dissemination of the next Wi-5 results.

We are pleased to announce that we have recently published a whitepaper from the Horizon 2020 Wi-5 Project with the title What to do With the Wi-Fi Wild West? – A proposal for Wi-Fi prosumer networking. In it, we analyse the issues related to the Wi-Fi jungle and present our solution through local AP coordination.

The paper can be found here together with the other publications written as part of the project.
