Agenda GENI: Global Environment for Network Innovations • Brief background • Extending GENI/Wireless with commercial networks • Demo discussion • Demo wrap up Please Participate in a Survey!!! http://sciwinet.org
GENI WiMAX Deployments 2014 On the Air Not On the Air 13 locations across USA 26 Wimax Base Stations Sliced, virtualized and interconnected Researcher-owned, researcher-operated 4G cellular systems
SciWiNet: A Brief Summary • SciWiNetresells cellular data services from Sprint. We are an Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO). We expect to also operate with T-Mobile in 4Q 2014. • Usage model: a single bucket of data can be shared over any number of devices, individual researchers can be given administrative access to their set of devices. • The idea is to provide services and technology that can be used by the academic research community • Once fully operational • User’s can bring their own devices (like Google’s Nexus 5) • User’s sign up and register devices at the SciWiNet web site Engineering Domain Specific Research Community Diversity of Underlying Requirements CISE Research Community Non-Engineering Research Community Wireless Research Community Diversity of the User Community
NIH Research DOE Research DOT/ITSResearch Public Safety/ Homeland Security NSF Research Biological Sciences, CISE, Education/HR, Engineering, Geosciences, Math/Physical sciences, Social/Economic Sciences Internet Research Wireless Testbed Infrastructure Commercial Wireless Systems Infrastructure sciwinet.org GENI Testbed (geni.net) GI • The goal of SciWiNet is to build wireless infrastructure that supports current and emerging wireless requirements of the academic research community. • Synergistic with GENI WiMAX…. • Extends the coverage for GENI researchers…. • Broadens the community…potential benefits of scale
GENI WiMAX/SciWiNet Demo At Clemson, we have a GENI WiMAX handset that has access to SciWiNet A student at Clemson will move out of WiMAX coverage and into Sprint’s network The device is periodically sending location, signal strength and ping RTT data to a server (a GENI VM) We will show two live visualizations: location/access network, ping RTT time series.

Demo Wrap Up • Objective for this portion of the demo- illustrate how GENI/WiMAX experiments can be extended with coverage from a commercial network • GENI and SciWiNet : • GENI/WiMAX handsets that are registered on SciWiNet can work on: • Sprint’s WiMAX and 3G network • A yellow node or PCEngine box can use GENI WiMAX dongles, SciWiNet LTE dongles, and WiFi • As GENI Wireless evolves towards LTE, integration with SciWiNet over Sprint’s LTE (and T-Mobile) will happen • Our next demo will further show the exciting ‘connections’ that are possible between GENI/Wireless and SciWiNet.
