The economic and competitive value of widely available advanced networking has become well known, with availabity of next generation networking impacting factors as basic as homeowner property values and housing rents. However, deployment of next generation networking in U.S. cities and regions has lagged that of a number of other nations. This project assembles and jump-starts a growing and sustainable ecosystem of smart gigabit city testbeds which support applications delivering important new advances in healthcare, education, public safety, and other national priority areas. These advanced ecosystems leverage advanced Internet concepts developed by prior NSF research programs that are not yet available on today's commercial Internet. By leveraging existing multi-gigabit links to interconnect the cities, and by providing city-based interoperable application infrastructure the project allows entrepreneurs and academics in one city to write and trial visually-compelling and ultra-responsive new Internet applications that can be replicated into other cities and regions. An important key will be the involvement of citizens and community organizations in building and experimenting with advanced networking applications addressing national priorities. The project will: 1) Mobilize and interconnect 12 to 15 cities and regions as smart gigabit city testbeds and connect to a small number of other volunteers from the U.S. UCAN community anchor community; 2) leverage GENI technology and deploy a new community-focused computing infrastructure; support the develop and adapt national priority and smart city applications that uniquely leverage this infrastructure and can be replicated in the other cities and regions; 4) Identify novel unsolved problems that can help define areas for future Internet research and 5) share information among ecosystem participants. To maximize the network effects, the project will utilize interoperable advanced wired and wireless applications platforms, interoperable federation, authentication and authorization, and built-in security measures and measurement/logging. This project builds the initial infrastructure upon the distributed infrastructure pioneered and deployed by the GENI and prior US Ignite projects in the academic or civic networking infrastructures of 56 cities in the United States.

广泛使用的先进网络的经济和竞争价值已众所周知，下一代网络的可用性影响着房主财产价值和住房租金等基本因素。 然而，美国城市和地区下一代网络的部署落后于其他许多国家。 该项目组建并启动了一个不断发展和可持续的智能千兆城市测试平台生态系统，支持在医疗保健、教育、公共安全和其他国家优先领域实现重要新进展的应用程序。这些先进的生态系统利用了 NSF 先前研究项目开发的先进互联网概念，而这些概念在当今的商业互联网上尚不可用。通过利用现有的多千兆链路来互连城市，并提供基于城市的可互操作应用程序基础设施，该项目允许一个城市的企业家和学者编写和试验具有视觉吸引力和超响应性的新互联网应用程序，这些应用程序可以复制到其他城市城市和地区。 一个重要的关键是让公民和社区组织参与构建和试验解决国家优先事项的先进网络应用程序。 该项目将：1）动员和互连12至15个城市和地区，作为智能千兆城市测试平台，并连接到来自美国UCAN社区主播社区的少数其他志愿者； 2）利用GENI技术并部署新的以社区为中心的计算基础设施；支持开发和调整国家优先事项和智慧城市应用程序，这些应用程序独特地利用了这一基础设施，并且可以在其他城市和地区复制； 4) 确定新的未解决问题，有助于定义未来互联网研究领域；5) 在生态系统参与者之间共享信息。 为了最大化网络效应，该项目将利用可互操作的先进有线和无线应用平台、可互操作的联合、身份验证和授权以及内置的安全措施和测量/记录。该项目在 GENI 和之前的美国 Ignite 项目在美国 56 个城市的学术或公民网络基础设施中首创和部署的分布式基础设施上构建了初始基础设施。
