The Poly WiMAX deployment • The BS (server, IDU) have been installed in the network room of the Library in the ECE Dept Building (5 Metrotech Center) • The outdoor parts (sector antenna, GPS antenna, ODU) have been installed on the roof of the ECE Dept Building (5 floor building) • We have got 2 experimental licenses from FCC to operate the WiMAX BS for 2 years
Current Status • The testbed is up and running since September 2010 in a regular basis • WiMax connectivity on the nodes is tested using different devices such as Wimax Dongle, HTC EVO phones and Wimax laptops • The signal levels are tested (RSSI and SINR) to map the coverage area around the campus • Extensive throughput and delay measurements underway • Video conferencing is tested using the HTC EVO 4G phones.
Base Station Installation • Sector antenna and GPS antenna installation
Base Station Installation • ODU installation

Experiment 2 ZigBee 30-40 feet • Development of a campus based power meter infrastructure based on the WiMAX deployment • Current solutions use Zigbee and USB connections, very low range ZigBee 30-40 feet USB Internet
Experiment 2 • The data collected in the cloud can then be seen on a web browser or a smartphone.
