UTH has developed a wireless testbed called Network Implementation Testbed using Open Source platforms (NITOS). NITOS is a testbed offered by NITLab and consists of wireless nodes based on open source software. The testbed is designed to achieve reproducibility of experimentation, while also supporting evaluation of protocols and applications in real world settings. NITOS wireless testbed has been developed as a part of the wireless facilities of the European project OneLab2.

NITOS consists of nodes based on commercial Wifi cards and Linux open source drivers. The control and management of the tesbed is done using the cOntrol and Management Framework (OMF) open-source software. NITOS testbed is deployed at the exterior of the University of Thessaly (UTH) campus building, as illustrated in figure 1.
