The PEN deployment will either be located in UML labs or within one of the GENI substrate infrastructure networks. This will be determined during the year. Updates on this deployment decision can be monitored through the milestone [milestone:"UMLPEN: Deployable PEN available"] [[BR]] '''GPO Liason System Engineer''' John Jacob jjacob@geni.net '''Related Projects''' ''[http://URL Project-Name] Includes non-GENI projects.''
