Embrace, don't cope

EMBRACE System Demonstrator

Within the EMBRACE project an advanced communications system and network was developed. It uses the DVB technology for the high-speed downlink and a novel multi-frequency TDMA system for the return link. The return link is scaleable to accommodate the variety of data rates. Emphasis was put on providing quality of service (QoS) in wireless IP networks. Site diversity is used to increase the ava...

I certainly didn’t want to make a career-limiting move by advocating a software development methodology contrary to the one embraced by Rational! ☺ The perception (at least in some circles) seems to ...
