= WiMAX = [[TOC(WikiStart, aWiMAX*, cLTE*, dSite*, depth=2)]] The [wiki:GW GENI Wide-Area Wireless project] uses [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WiMAX WiMAX] basestations from two vendors: radio as part of an open virtualized experimental framework. The project leverages a commercial 802.16e base stations from [http://www.nec.com NEC] and [http://www.airspan.com/ Airpsan], replacing the standard [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WiMAX WiMAX] controller with an open software implementation that supports virtualization and layer 2/3 programmability. The most prominent features provided by the modified BS control framework include the capability to perform all frame switching using purely layer 2 information, and control mechanisms to provide isolation across slices, which is needed to ensure experiment repeatability.
