== Status ==

The following milestones have been achieved since the ORBIT project kicked off in the last quarter of 2003.

 * 1/04 - 2x2 radio grid with !CompuLab 586 nodes (trial hardware), API, user portal and Emulab cluster and simple network management.
 * 4/04 - 4x4 radio grid with new ORBIT radio node and v0.9 software (main functions implemented)
 * 7/04 - 4x4 radio grid with DARPA pilot project experiments demonstrated during NSF site visit
 * 12/04 - 8x8 radio grid in ORBIT facility, v1.0 software, ready for initial user trials (limited emulator release)
 * 5/05 - Installation of 20x20 radio grid in new ORBIT facility. Trial experiments and calibration tests begin. Initial userbase begin adapting their experiments for deployment on large grid
 * 11/05 - 5 general use sandboxes released. 5 more sandboxes consisting of a kernel development platform, mote development environment, and GNU Radio workbench also deployed. 

=== Future Milestones ===

 * 1Q-06 - 20x20 grid with mobility, etc., ready for general release.
 * 2Q-06 - Field trial system ready for initial user trials, outdoor radio grid begins final installation and trial tests.
