Face to the continuous wireless data throughput increase demand and with the aim of simplification, we carried out an architectural study as part of the European collaborative project WORTECS [1]. This study proposed to find a common architecture between wireless radio and wireless optical systems that will allow us to mutualize as much as possible the processing in order to reduce integration complexity and cost. In this paper, after introducing some characteristics about propagation model simulation, we will present common architecture between wireless radio and optical transmission schemes and argue about Graphic Unit Interface development. The main functionalities are defined through three electronic boards able to provide 2 Gbps data rates over 2 wavelengths. Then, before conclusion, we will present the software tool and be focus on preliminary results.
