DOE Wind Energy Technology Testing Facilities

 

WIRELESS TEST BED

Since 2003, INL has operated a comprehensive wireless test bed spread across 890-square miles of federally owned land. Situated in a low-noise environment, this area allows engineers to test devices and hardware ranging from high-frequency (HF), ultra-high-frequency (UHF), cellular, satellite, microwave, and everything in between.

KEY CAPABILITIES

  • Access to research and testing capabilities across a number of TCP/IP, ATM, 802.11, GSM, and modem communication signals
  • 170 miles of fiber — OC-3, OC-12 fiber links over an SONET/ATM backbone
  • Testing capabilities for 2-way radio systems, cell phones and hard-wired systems
  • Testing capabilities for intranet systems, intrusion detection, firewall and secure communications
