Foundation <https://www.nsf.gov/dir/index.jsp?org=CISE>* (NSF) has *announced
<https://www.nsf.gov/news/news_summ.jsp?cntn_id=245045>* that one of the
initial the two initial *Platforms for Advanced Wireless Research (PAWR)
<https://www.advancedwireless.org/>* funded projects will be in NYC – *COSMOS:
Cloud Enhanced Open Software Defined Mobile Wireless Testbed for City-Scale
Deployment <https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=1827923>*,
Rutgers University, Columbia University, and New York University. From the
press release:

COSMOS is partnering with New York City, Silicon Harlem, City College of
New York, University of Arizona and IBM, to bring this advanced wireless
test bed to life in New York City. The test bed will cover 1 square mile in
a vibrant, densely-populated neighborhood in West Harlem. The technical
focus of the COSMOS platform is on ultra-high-bandwidth and low-latency
wireless communications, with tightly coupled edge computing, a type of
cloud computing enabling data processing at the edge of the network. COSMOS
will pursue millimeter-wave radio communications and dynamic optical
switching technologies. This new wireless research platform will allow for
experimentation at a scale that could not be achieved previously, thereby
enabling new services and applications to benefit the entire community.
