+
+Welcome to the ORBIT (Open-Access Research Testbed for Next-Generation
+Wireless Networks) Testbed Portal.
+
+ORBIT is a two-tier wireless network emulator/field trial designed to
+achieve reproducible experimentation, while also supporting realistic
+evaluation of protocols and applications.  The RADIO GRID TESTBED which is
+central to the ORBIT facility uses a novel approach based on a 20x20
+two-dimensional grid of programmable radio nodes which can be interconnected
+into specified topologies with reproducible wireless channel models.  Once
+the basic protocol or application concepts have been validated on the radio
+grid emulator, users can migrate their experiments to the OUTDOOR ORBIT
+network which provides a configurable mix of both high-speed cellular
+(WiMAX, LTE) and 802.11 wireless access in a real-world setting.  The ORBIT
+testbed also includes a number of SANDBOX networks used for debugging and
+controlled experimentation on specific aspects.
+
+ORBIT was first funded in 2003 under the Network Research Testbeds (NRT)
+program (CNS-0335244) and subsequently under a follow-on grants CNS-0725053, CNS-0958483 and CNS-1513110. The ORBIT radio grid was first released to research users
+in Oct 2005, and since then has become a widely used community resource for
+evaluation of emerging wireless network architectures and protocols. As of
+2014, there are over 1000 registered ORBIT users who have conducted a total
+of over ~200,000 experiment-hours on the radio grid testbed to date, with
+55,701 experiment-hours served during 2013. The ORBIT testbed is also being
+used to support wireless aspects of the [http://www.geni.net  GENI], and the ORBIT Management Framework (OMF) 
+is being used as one of the core control frameworks in GENI.  Examples of specific
+experiments that have been run on the ORBIT testbed include multi-radio
+spectrum coordination, cognitive radio networks, dense !WiFi networks,
+cellular/WiFi multi-homing, vehicular and ad hoc network routing,
+storage-aware/delay tolerant networks, mobile content delivery,
+location-aware protocols, inter-layer wireless security, future Internet
+architecture, and mobile cloud computing.
+
+ORBIT is available for remote or on-site access by academic researchers both
+in the U.S. and internationally (prospective users should first send in an
+account signup request using the [http://www.orbit-lab.org/userManagement/register registration form]).
+Users will have access to the following resources: 
+ * Range of radio resources including: !WiFi 802.11a/b/g 802.11n 802.11ac, Bluetooth (BLE), !ZigBee, Software Defined Radio (SDR) platforms (USRP, WARP, RTL-SDR, USRP N210, USRP X310, USRP B210, Nutaq PicoSDR2x2-E and Nutaq ZeptoSDR )
+ * Software defined networking (SDN) resources: NEC and Pronto switches, NetFPGA and NetFPGA-10G platforms
+ * LTE and WiMAX basestations and clients
+ * Cloud resources (including a number of nodes with Tesla-based GPUs)
+
+(Note that use of OUTDOOR nodes is by arrangement and generally requires physical presence of experimenters on the 
+Rutgers campus).
+
+For the basics of starting an experiment with the testbed refer to the
+[wiki:Documentation/CGettingStarted#Howtogetstarted "Getting Started" document] and further details information on how to use the
+ORBIT testbed can be found in the [wiki:Documentation documentation section]. Number of [wiki:Tutorials tutorials] is also available as a starting point for experimentation. Additional
+information on both the [wiki:Hardware hardware] and [wiki:Software software] in ORBIT can also be found on
+this site.
