= Testbed Downtime (January 11 - 13)
Due to planned maintenance work at the Columbia University data center, the '''bed.cosmos-lab.org''' and '''sb2.cosmos-lab.org''' domains will be unavailable for use starting January 11 at 12:00 EST until January 13 at 18:00 EST. The '''sb1.cosmos-lab.org''' domain will be unaffected and remain available during that time.

The **COSMOS** (**C**loud enhanced **O**pen **S**oftware defined **MO**bile wireless testbed for city-**S**cale deployment) project is aimed at design, development and deployment of an advanced wireless city-scale testbed in order to support real-world experimentation on next-generation wireless technologies and applications.

=== Participants and Funding

COSMOS is a joint project involving [https://www.rutgers.edu Rutgers], [https://www.columbia.edu Columbia], and [https://www.nyu.edu  NYU] along with [https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/cto/#/ New York City], [https://www.ccny.cuny.edu City College of New York], [https://www.siliconharlem.com Silicon Harlem], [https://www.arizona.edu University of Arizona] and [https://www.research.ibm.com IBM].

It is funded by the [https://www.nsf.gov National Science Foundation (NSF)] [https://advancedwireless.org/ Platforms for Advanced Wireless Research (PAWR)] program.

=== Deployment

The COSMOS testbed is being deployed in West Harlem, New York City with technical focus on ultra-high-bandwidth and low-latency wireless communications with tightly coupled edge computing, and emphasis on the millimeter-wave (mmWave) radio communications and dynamic optical switching.
