The orbit testbed is open for public use for development and the advancement wireless infrastructures. We encourage Linux and BSD developers to use our infrastructure for the advancement of their drivers and wireless infrastructure.

Quick steps to take as a developer to start making use of Orbit:

 * [http://www.orbit-lab.org/wiki/Registration Register] for an account
 * [https://www.orbit-lab.org/schedule/schedule.php Make a reservation] on the Schedular
 * Access nodes

Lets assume you registered as user "rms" and made a reservation for sandbox6. Here is how you would access the sandbox console, image sandbox nodes, access nodes and optionally save a node image from work on node1-1:

 {{{
  ssh rms@console.sb6.orbit-lab.org
  imageNodes 1,1..2 wireless-dev.ndz
  ssh root@node1-1 or ssh root@node1-2
  halt && exit
  saveNode 1,1
 }}}
