EN The paper presents the vision of CARMNET – a Swiss-Polish project aimed at investigating “CARrier-grade delay-aware resource management for wireless multihop/Mesh NETworks”. The project focuses on developing solutions that will motivate telecom operators to reconsider their view on user-operated IEEE 802.11-compliant wireless mesh networks. The project is driven by the vision of networks operated jointly by telecom operators – likely appreciating the CARMNET compliance with their IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) infrastructure – and a community of users contributing to and enjoying the pervasiveness of the CARMNET-based Internet access. The project aims at providing, both telecom operators and potential end users, with solutions that will create appropriately strong incentives – technological, functional and economical – for a widespread adoption of CARMNET-like networks within a steadily expanding group of users. Initial results indicate, that despite the originality of the project vision, the preliminary CARMNET system architecture complies with key relevant standards.
