Introduction
FreedomLab is a collection of networking hardware, compute resources and software to support research & development, testing, education and serve as a proving ground for the FreedomStack.
We aren't developing anything new, but rather evaluating/testing/proving existing software and hardware components and then helping turn them into a turn key community networking solution.
Status
Services

- Orinoco 802.11b
- AirLink
Computers:
- Optiplex 745 VM server (lxc/virtualbox)
- VirtualBox host to run PfSense virtual machines so we can test out configurations, test compatibility with Cisco gear (OSPF/BGP)
- VirtualBox host to run FreedomNode virtual machines (with a genode base, and Debian guests)
- LXC host to run GIS and other computationally intensive work loads in support of FNF network operations
- LXC host to run various software packages / experiments (very early stage FNF software application research projects)
- The system has a USB bluetooth adapter. It also has multiple 802.11b/g USB wifi adapters.
- ASUS EEEPC
- running Lubuntu to perform coverage and performance testing as well as network diagnostics)
Accessories:
- Serial to USB converter (for use with serial consoles on switches, soekris rigs, access points etc)
- External (USB) wireless card capable of monitor mode, packet injection etc
- GPS Receiver
