-|| Aggregate Resources  || 35 buses (that service a 150 sq. mi. area) each with a Diesel Brick, an embedded computer (P6-compatible 577Mhz CPU, 256MB RAM, 40GB hard drive, Linux OS).  The brick is connected to three radios: an 802.11b Access Point (AP) to provide DHCP access to passengers and passersby, a second USB-based 802.11b interface that constantly scans the surrounding area for DHCP offers and other buses, and a longer-range !MaxStream XTend 900MHz radio to connect to our throwboxes. Additionally, a GPS device records times and locations. Testbed software pushes out application updates to buses;  and collects mobility, AP-to-bus connectivity, and bus-to-bus throughput traces.||
+|| Aggregate Resources  || 35 buses (that service a 150 sq. mi. area) each with a DOME brick, a computer (1GHz Celeron CPU, 1GBB RAM, 60GB hard drive, Linux OS).  The brick is connected to three radios: an 802.11b/g Access Point (AP) to allow other buses to connect via !WiFi and to provide Internet access to bus riders, a PCI-based 802.11g interface that is fully programmable by experiments (madwifi driver), and a longer-range !MaxStream XTend 900MHz radio to connect to other buses. Additionally, a GPS device is accessible to experiments. Testbed software automatically pushes out experiments to buses, schedules experiments, and provides logging to pull results from buses.||
 || Typical Experiments  || Mobility experiments that ranging from infrastructure-based networking to sparse and dense ad hoc networks that are disruption prone.  Experiments that provide services to mobile users.  ||
