Tasks completed Get the base station install complete (moving to Plan B) Get yellow nodes installed and connected Connect WiNGS mobile gateway to new Airspan WiMAX Run a multi-site experiment (video) between UW-Madison and NY Poly U (currently to GEC) – Allow dynamic adaptation over video links (see demo) Integrate into classroom for Spring 2013 Handsets
Planned next steps Get the ORBIT yellow nodes deployed – We are still waiting for them Handsets – Need help from the MVNO Demo of integration between GENI WiMAX and OpenFlow – Preliminary version has been completed
