= Welcome to the '''FlexNets Initiative''' =
'''FlexNets''' '''(Flexible Wireless Communications Systems and Networks)''' is an open-source research initiative that explores new means for leveraging the flexibility in radio communications. It provides a platform for collaborative research efforts on software-defined radio (SDR), cognitive radio, and similar concepts that promote flexibility in wireless communications. The '''mission''' of FlexNets is easing the design, development, and deployment of flexible radio communications systems and networks. FlexNets provides software tools for sharing hardware and software resources. It facilitates introducing real-time computing resource management approaches and testing them in different SDR scenarios.

= Project Status =
'''This project has evolved to ALOE++ and the Open Source LTE Deployment (OSLD).'''
[wiki:ALOE_v2.0]

* '''ALOE++''' has been designed under the [https://sites.google.com/site/osldproject/home OSLD Project] supported by the [http://www.nlnet.nl NLnet Foundation]. It dramatically improve the signal processing performance while reducing the framework overhead. ALOE++ is much easier to use and develop, encouraging cooperative development. 
   * Check out the ALOE++ [https://github.com/flexnets/aloe specs].
