Rice University adopts WARP v3 for the classroom

Rice University has selected WARP v3 as the hardware platform for an undergraduate and graduate-level digital communications laboratory course: ​ELEC 433.

Details about the new technology, dubbed Argos, were presented today at the Association for Computing Machinery’s MobiCom 2012 wireless research conference in Istanbul. Argos is under development by researchers from Rice, Bell Labs and Yale University. A prototype built at Rice this year uses 64 antennas to allow a single wireless base station to communicate directly to 15 users simultaneously with narrowly focused directional beams.
