In February, the Telecommunications and Multimedia Unit (UTM) concluded the Multi Radio Access (MRA) project, developed as part of a direct contract between INESC TEC, coordinated by INESC Porto, and the company PT Inovação. The main goal with this project was to design a solution that would combine access networks, with a particular emphasis on HSPA and WiFi, in order to provide wireless broadband access with a debit that is higher than the one provided by each one of the access networks individually.
