| | 4 | |
| | 5 | * 1/04 - 2x2 radio grid with !CompuLab 586 nodes (trial hardware), API, user portal and Emulab cluster and simple network management. |
| | 6 | * 4/04 - 4x4 radio grid with new ORBIT radio node and v0.9 software (main functions implemented) |
| | 7 | * 7/04 - 4x4 radio grid with DARPA pilot project experiments demonstrated during NSF site visit |
| | 8 | * 12/04 - 8x8 radio grid in ORBIT facility, v1.0 software, ready for initial user trials (limited emulator release) |
| | 9 | * 5/05 - Installation of 20x20 radio grid in new ORBIT facility. Trial experiments and calibration tests begin. Initial userbase begin adapting their experiments for deployment on large grid |
| | 10 | * 11/05 - 5 general use sandboxes released. 5 more sandboxes consisting of a kernel development platform, mote development environment, and GNU Radio workbench also deployed. |
