Radiolabs Consortium, is a not-profit Research Organization established its headquarters
in Rome in 2001and currently includes three academic partners - University of Rome
"Tor Vergata”, "University of Roma Tre”, "University of L’Aquila” - and two industrial
partners - Ansaldo STS S.p.A. a Hitachi Group Company and WESTPOLE S.p.A.
Radiolabs
mission is to contribute on Applied Research, Innovation, and Knowledge Transfer in the
emerging fields of ICT and relevant applications. More specifically, its main skills are in
the areas of telecommunications, including wireless, satellites, railways communications
and navigations, Internet systems and services, and new media technologies. Main areas
of interest include: new wireless technologies, ambient intelligence, infomobility and
context based services. Thanks to the close relationship between University and Industry
partners strongly committed to research and innovation, Radiolabs represents one rare
experience of a joint team able to gather a wide range of high level and complementary
research expertise that produce studies design development of prototypes and patents.

to mention a few of the latest research activities on wireless systems, Radiolabs is
involved on channel modeling, on theoretical analysis and performance improvement
of modulation schemes (e.g., OFDM), and on the coexistence and interference of
wireless access systems (e.g. UWB with WiMAX/IEEE802.16-based systems, Point-to-Point and UMTS). Regarding industrial developments, Radiolabs designed new
protocols for mobile ad hoc WiMAX-based networks (WiMAX Mesh Networks project,
2007-2008) and now is involved in developing of Software Defined Radio platforms
for the integration of wireless systems based on different standards (Stanag 4285, MIL-STD 188-110/B). Radiolabs is also involved in development, implementation and test of
Waveforms according to SCA (Software Communication Architecture) methodologies
for radio programmable platform in HF, VHF e UHF bands.The Consortium participated
to the development of a mobile terminal to guarantee cross heterogeneous wireless
network (Wi-Fi – UMTS) and in co-operation with RFI (Rete Ferroviaria Italiana), worked
on the possibility to extend GPS and GALILEO coverage in tunnels for the European
Railway Traffic Management System (ERTMS). The Consortium also studied the service
architecture to provide time information from GALILEO satellites. RadioLabs best-practice approach is based on continuously gaining experience through participation in
a number of innovative National, ESA and European projects.
