随着不断发展的无线网络架构变得更加多样化、复杂和相互依赖，并且设备成本阻碍了对此类网络的广泛访问，近年来，远程访问的实验测试台在无线通信和网络研究中引起了人们的兴趣。这种兴趣在 2020 年进一步加剧，并成为当前全球大流行期间的迫切需求。然而，为不同教育背景的最终用户提供对来自不同供应商的无线电设备的访问是一项挑战。本文介绍了 OneLNK，这是一个可远程访问的测试平台，由来自三个不同供应商的无线电设备组成，并使用开源云原生技术开发。最终用户无需任何本地安装即可从单个网页访问 OneLNK 的功能。通过该网址，用户可以操作无线电设备、设置实验参数、实时观察结果并保存所有无线电设备生成的实验数据。交互式Web UI及其支持无线电设备的工作机制涵盖了特定的实验功能。一系列不同的无线电设备（毫米波、sub-GHz SDR 和 sub-6GHz SDR）有助于解释这些功能。此外，还报告了使用三个不同供应商在广阔频谱（568 MHz、5.8 GHz 和 60 GHz）上运行的设备对路径损耗、接收信号强度 (RSS) 和信噪比 (SNR) 的测量结果。远程访问的 OneLNK 平台的大部分内容是由来自美国五个州的专家团队在疫情期间远程开发的。

As evolving wireless network architectures become more diverse, complex, and interdependent, and equipment costs prohibit broad access to such networks, remotely accessible experimental testbeds are gaining interest in recent years in wireless communication and networking research. This interest has exacerbated in 2020 and became a vital need during the current global pandemic. However, providing end-users of various educational backgrounds access to radio devices from a heterogeneous set of vendors is challenging. This paper introduces OneLNK, a remotely accessible testbed consisting of radio devices from three different vendors and developed using open source cloud-native technologies. End-users can access the functionalities of OneLNK from a single webpage without any local installations. Using the web URL, users can operate radio devices, set experiment parameters, observe results in real-time, and save generated experiment data for all radio devices. The interactive web UI and its working mechanism for supporting radio equipment are covered with specific experiment capabilities. A diverse set of radio equipment (mmWave, sub-GHz SDR, and sub-6GHz SDR) are facilitated to explain these capabilities. Moreover, measurements of path loss, Received Signal Strength (RSS), and Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) using devices from three different vendors operating on a vast spectrum (568 MHz, 5.8 GHz, and 60 GHz) are reported. The majority of the remotely accessible OneLNK platform was developed remotely during the pandemic by a team of experts from five U.S. states.
