Overall Description

NITOS Future Internet Facility is an integrated facility with heterogeneous testbeds that focuses on supporting experimentation-based research in the area of wired and wireless networks. NITOS is remotely accessible and open to the research community 24/7. It has been used from hundreds of experimenters all over the world. It is comprised of three different deployments, the Outdoor Testbed, the Indoor RF Isolated Testbed and the Office Testbed, which are depicted below:

 
outdoor

Outdoor Testbed

The NITOS Outdoor deployment consists of powerful nodes that feature multiple wireless interfaces and allow for experimentation with heterogeneous (Wi-Fi, WiMAX, LTE) wireless technologies. It is deployed at the exterior of a University of Thessaly's campus building and consists of 50 powerful nodes.

Indoor RF Isolated Testbed

The NITOS Indoor deployment consists of 50 Icarus nodes that feature multiple wireless interfaces (Wi-Fi, WiMAX, LTE) and is deployed in an isolated environment of a University of Thessaly's campus building. It is also equipped with directional antennas prototypes.

office

Office Testbed

Office Indoor Testbed comprises of ten powerful second generation Icarus nodes. The nodes encapsulate heterogeneous technologies, such as WIFI, WiMAX, LTE, etc. and allow the experimenter to design and execute real life scenarios under a deterministic office environment.

 

 The NITOS RF Isolated Indoor Deployment consists of 50 Icarus nodes that feature multiple wireless interfaces (Wi-Fi, WiMAX, LTE) and is deployed in an isolated environment at a University of Thessaly's campus building. Experimenters are able to run and evaluate power demanding processing algorithms and protocols in a large scale testbed. It is also equipped with directional antennas and other advanced prototypes.

Indoor Deployment

The Icarus nodes are placed in a symmetrical way around the isolated environment of NITOS indoor testbed forming a grid topology. The distance amongst the nodes is fixed to 1.2 meters and the height level is identical for all them as well. As a result, a uniform environment is created where all nodes are isobaric and of equal capabilities. You can find below a picture of the topology of the NITOS indoor testbed.
