Research Testbeds

iCAIR designs, develops, implements, and operates facilities that provide proof-of-concept advanced network-based services, for example, to allow for early deployment of advanced applications over next-generation networks.

Many of these facilities are networking research testbeds that can be used by research communities and others interested in early access to advanced technology capabilities and services. The majority of these testbeds are designed to be persistent for many years. However, some are developed and implemented only during major conferences and workshops. See the list of conference testbeds.

Both allow researchers to showcase advanced technologies at various local, national, and international forums, such as international supercomputing conferences, networking conferences, technology workshops, organizational forums, and other venues.
