Jupyter notebooks
Launch notebooks through the lab’s JupyterHub environment. Sign in and choose from the configurations available to your account.
Open serviceAuthentication portal
Open the identity service used by the experimental infrastructure. Service access depends on your account and permissions.
Open serviceSLICES-CLI
Use the SLICES command-line interface from Jupyter or your own computer. Follow the official installation and command guide.
Open serviceNITOS scheduler
Check NITOS resource availability and book the nodes and times for your experiment. Sign in to manage your reservations.
Open serviceS3 long-term storage
Store and retrieve research data with S3-compatible storage, available with SLICES-RI credentials.
Open serviceFrom radio access to distributed computing
The UTH research ecosystem covers wireless and programmable wired networking, software-defined radio, cloud and edge computing, and IoT.
Wireless and post-5G research
The May 2025 node presentation describes open radio access experimentation with software-defined radios and LITEON O-RUs, together with support for the SLICES post-5G blueprint. It also describes GNSS and PTP synchronization.
Programmable networking and computing
The presentation describes P4-programmable SmartNICs, distributed storage using Ceph, and S3 interfaces through MinIO. These are infrastructure capabilities; public service endpoints and access arrangements must be confirmed with the team.
