The AERPAW team participated in the workshop on Future Networks Testbed Requirements, Challenges and Opportunities, organized and hosted by the IEEE Future Networks community.

A paper explaining the usage model of AERPAW, and tracing it to the requirements and constraints of the platform, was accepted in the IEEE INFOCOM Workshop on Computer and Networking Experimental Research using Testbeds (CNERT), organized in conjunction with Infocom 2022.

Following the AERPAW Fall 2021 Event on November 9-10, and the General Availability announced during the event, AERPAW has started supporting experiment requests from external users.

AERPAW hosted a 1.5 days on-site event that included panels, training sessions, poster sessions, a tour of AERPAW facilities, and a demonstration of AERPAW drone/wireless experiments at Lake Wheeler Field Labs.

AERPAW has continued to progress with its alpha testing and beta testing, towards achieving general availability in November 2021.

NSF AERPAW Fall 2021 Event schedule includes a tour of the AERPAW experimentation areas, drone flight and software-defined radio experiment demo (weather conditions permitting), three-panel sessions that will discuss how AERPAW can be used for advanced wireless and drone experimentation, hands-on training sessions, poster sessions, and a 6GNC meeting.

The AERPAW team hosted visitors from the Mitsubishi Electric Innovation Center (MELIC). The AERPAW team had a demo of the drone and SDR experiments in the Lake Wheeler Field Labs (see the photo below), while the MELIC representatives presented their views and recent efforts related to mid-range drone delivery.
