Abstract

This paper describes the design and deployment of the University of Maryland MAXWell Laboratory, a WiMAX Forum Applications Laboratory. In an effort to increase research and development of WiMAX-specific applications, the WiMAX Forum established a program for endorsing testbeds located at vendor-neutral locations as venues for research and collaboration into new "killer apps" for WiMAX. The MAXWell Lab is one such venue, and this paper describes the basic design, architecture, and deployment of this campus-wide testbed. Additionally, we describe possible directions in applications research, and the MyeVyu system currently under development at the University of Maryland.
