Abstract
The WEIRD (WiMAX Extension to Isolated Research Data Networks) project
is unique in the European R&D scene: by the end of May 2008, WEIRD will
deliver not one but four WiMAX testbeds, all interconnected via GEANT2, the
pan-European research and education network. By combining theoretical methods
with empirical research and prototype development, the project identifies and
addresses the needs arising from a variety of scenarios, ranging from
environmental monitoring to telemedicine. WiMAX has been much touted (and
criticized) during the last years. The WEIRD testbeds are instrumental in
separating hype from reality.
