项目摘要

Rural broadband is important for the rural economy and quality of life, yet 39% of the rural US lacks broadband access, and most agriculture farms are not connected at all. To address the challenge, this project proposes to develop the OPen-source Ecosystem for bRoadband prAirie (OPERA). OPERA will enable researchers to transform their rural broadband research experiments into open-source software, data, and hardware designs that can be integrated with open-source platforms to generate rural-focused broadband solutions. The project is expected to not only enable rural-focused broadband technology innovation today but also empower rural regions to become active participants in continuous broadband innovation in the long term. Leveraging the Agriculture and Rural Communities (ARA) wireless living lab (https://arawireless.org/), which is a part of the NSF Platforms for Advanced Wireless Research (PAWR) program, OPERA will provide the organization and governance structure as well as community building leadership in fostering the open-source ecosystem (OSE) for broadband prairie. In particular, to generate high-quality open-source software, data, and hardware-designs beyond typical research experiment results, OPERA will complement ARA-enabled scientific experimentation with open-source coaching as well as the OSE process, infrastructure, and partnership support. To facilitate the integration of research products into open-source platforms and their real-world adoption in specific rural applications. OPERA will facilitate cross-sector collaborations among researchers, open-source communities, and rural region stakeholders. These collaborations will build upon the existing 62+ ARA partners from academia, industry, government, and rural communities. Leveraging the complementary strengths of broadband researchers, open-source developers, and rural application communities, OPERA is poised to help unleash the full capacity of the research and open-source communities in addressing the rural broadband challenge. It provides the ecosystem support for individual researchers to make direct real-world impact, and it empowers rural regions in co-shaping the continuous broadband innovation. OPERA-enabled open-source coaching infuses real-world open-source practice into research experimentation, and it strengthens experiential learning by focusing on production-quality prototyping. OPERA-enabled open-source innovation and cross-sector collaboration will help attract underrepresented students in research, while providing unique learning opportunities for undergraduate and graduate education.For additional information about the project and its latest results, go to the project website at https://wici.iastate.edu/opera.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

农村宽带对农村经济和生活质量很重要，但是39％的美国农村缺乏宽带通道，而且大多数农业农场根本没有联系。为了应对挑战，该项目建议开发宽带草原（Opera）的开源生态系统。 Opera将使研究人员能够将其农村宽带研究实验转换为开源软件，数据和硬件设计，这些软件可以与开源平台集成，以生成以农村为中心的宽带解决方案。预计该项目不仅将在当今以农村为重点的宽带技术创新，而且还可以使农村地区能够长期成为持续的宽带创新的积极参与者。利用农业和农村社区（ARA）无线生活实验室（https://arawireless.org/），这是NSF高级无线研究平台（PAWR）计划的一部分，Opera将为组织和治理结构以及在开放式Ecosystems（Ose）宽敞的宽敞Briaie提供组织结构以及社区建立领导力。特别是，为了生成高质量的开源软件，数据和硬件设计，超出了典型的研究实验结果，Opera将通过开源教练以及OSE流程，基础架构和合作伙伴关系来补充支持ARA的科学实验。为了促进将研究产品集成到开源平台及其在特定农村应用中的实际采用。歌剧将促进研究人员，开源社区和农村地区利益相关者之间的跨部门合作。这些合作将基于来自学术界，工业，政府和农村社区的现有62+ ARA合作伙伴。利用宽带研究人员，开源开发商和农村应用程序社区的互补优势，Opera有望帮助释放研究和开源社区的全部能力，以应对农村宽带挑战。它为个人研究人员提供了生态系统的支持，以产生直接的现实影响，并使农村地区能够共同构建连续的宽带创新。启用操作的开源教练将现实世界中的开源实践注入研究实验，并通过专注于生产质量的原型制作来增强体验式学习。 OPERA-enabled open-source innovation and cross-sector collaboration will help attract underrepresented students in research, while providing unique learning opportunities for undergraduate and graduate education.For additional information about the project and its latest results, go to the project website at https://wici.iastate.edu/opera.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit和更广泛的影响审查标准。
