Hardware Overview CMUlab

CMUlab manages three different testbeds. This page is under construction.

10 pc2000 Dell D610 laptops (pcemu001-pcemu010) consisting of:
- 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo (?)
- 1 GB RAM (?)
- 80Gb Hard Drive Size, 5400 RPM Hard Drive Speed (?)
- 10/100/1000 Ethernet for control network (?)
- Atheros wireless card (?)
FPGA-based signal propagation emulation hardware supporting:
- 2.4 GHz ISM band
- Up to 15 nodes
- Full n x n signal level communication and interference
1 pc2000 emulation control PC (emucontrol-1) consisting of:
- 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo (?)
- 1 GB RAM (?)
- 80Gb Hard Drive Size, 5400 RPM Hard Drive Speed (?)
