FIT/CorteXlab

FIT (Future Internet of Things) is a french Equipex (Équipement d'excellence) which aims to develop an experimental facility, a federated and competitive infrastructure with international visibility and a broad panel of customers. FIT is be composed of four main parts: a Network Operations Center (FIT NOC), a set of IoT test-beds (FIT IoT-Lab), a set of wireless test-beds (FIT-Wireless) which includes the FIT/CorteXlab platform deployed previoulsy by the Socrate team and now managed by Maracas team in the Citi lab, and finally a set of Cloud test-beds (FIT-Cloud). In 2014 the construction of the room was done and SDR nodes have been installed in the room: 42 industrial PCs (Aplus Nuvo-3000E/P), 22 NI radio boards (usrp ) and 18 Nutaq boards (PicoSDR, 2x2 and 4X4) can be programmed remotely, from internet now.

New features are under developments, and the platform is used or has been used by several research groups : i) Nokia Bell Labs - Inria common labs for research in machine learning, ii) ANR projects EPHYL and ARBURST for research on massive access for IoT, iii) ERC of prof. Michele Wigger, IMT Paris, for validating distributed coding strategies, iv) Nokia Bell Labs New Jersey for a proof of concept of wireless caching, Greentouch international consortium to develop a prototype of interference alignment.
