-The ORBIT laboratory is comprised of several different test [wiki:Hardware/bDomains domains] in which experimenters can use the hardware provided by WINLAB for use in wireless experimentation. The Orbit grid as illustrated in Figure 1 consists of a multiply interconnected, 20-by-20 grid of '''[wiki:Hardware/hNodes ORBIT Radio Nodes]''', some non-grid nodes to control R/F spectrum measurements and interference sources, and front-end, application and back-end servers.  These servers support various ORBIT services. In addition to the main grid, there are also 9 additional smaller 'test grids'(a.k.a. sandboxes). All this is supported the the back end [wiki:Hardware/dInfrastructure Orbit Infrastructure] which provides services and control to the test facility.

-Each '''ORBIT Radio Node''' is a PC typically with two 100BaseT Ethernet ports, radio cards and a [wiki:Hardware/jCM Chassis Manager(CM)] to control the node. The two Ethernet ports are connected to Data and Control subnet.  While Control is used primarily for node access, experiment management and measurement collection, the Data subnet is exclusively available to the experimenter. In addition to the the standard radio cards on most of the nodes, there are many other [wiki:Hardware/fDevices devices] throughout including devices for various communication protocols ( ZigBee, WiFi, WiMAX, etc..) as well as software radio platforms such as the USRP & USRP2.
