| 9 | Currently there are two WiMAX testbeds that are open to experimenters : |

| 11 | * [http://www.orbit-lab.org/ WINLAB testbed] |

| 15 | A GENI WiMAX testbed includes a number of components (pictured below): |
| 16 | |
| 17 | * A '''console''' that runs a set of services that help you manage and execute your experiment |
| 18 | * A WiMAX '''base station''' |
| 19 | * A set of '''nodes''', which may include laptop computers, Android phones, or special PCs colloquially referred to as "yellow boxes." |

| 23 | You can read more about the specific resources available on each testbed at the following links: |

| 27 | The '''NYU-Poly facility''' only has a single testbed. When you make a reservation at NYU-Poly, you have reserved the entire testbed, including all nodes and the WiMAX base station. |
| 28 | |
| 29 | The '''WINLAB facility''' includes multiple testbeds. WiMAX nodes are available on the following testbeds: |
| 30 | * grid (make a reservation for '''grid''' and '''wimax''') |
| 31 | * outdoor (make a reservation for '''outdoor''' and '''wimax''') |
| 32 | * sb6 (make a reservation for '''sb6''' and '''wimax''') |
| 33 | * sb7 (make a reservation for '''sb7''' and '''wimax''') |
| 34 | * sb8 (make a reservation for '''sb8''' and '''wimax''') |
| 35 | * sb4 (make a reservation for '''sb4''' - you do not need to also reserve '''wimax''', because sb4 has its own base station that is reserved automatically). |
