Reconfigurable Eco-system for Next-generation End-to-end Wireless Argos was first developed at Rice in 2011 as a 64-antenna base station, becoming the first Massive MIMO base station ever built. Since then, Argos has evolved with two newer versions. The most recent version of Argos (ArgosV3) has been already deployed around Rice campus as part of the ArgosNet project. Argosv3, now known as Faros, is developed by Skylark Wireless and now commercially available. The RENEW platform aim is to serve three goals: 1) Integrate and deploy on the POWDER platform, at the University of Utah campus and areas around the campus. 2) Empower custom testbeds, using Iris and Faros, to enable novel applications. 3) Work closely with other open-source efforts, like OpenAirInterface, to empower next-generation of wireless equipment. The RENEW team will be part of the 1st international workshop on open software defined wireless networks (colocated with MobiSys 2020)>>See more Our team is launching the RENEW Visitors Program inviting the community to come to Rice to work with us on the massive MIMO platform>>See more Ashu Sabharwal will give a talk at the IEEE 5G World Forum's Workshop on 5G Applications and Services in Dresden Germany>>See more https://renew-wireless.org/ https://renew-wireless.org/
