-====== VREL - Remote Distant Laboratories ======
+====== Introduction to the Remote Distant Laboratories ======
-Laboratories can be accessed via the uniform model using web platform available here: [[http://distance.roboticlab.eu/|http://distance.roboticlab.eu/]]. Please note that there is a variety of hardware specifications, and almost every node has different peripherals and physical properties. Following chapters present a list of the laboratories and their documentation. Read it carefully before jumping in into the programming it.

+Laboratories can be accessed via a single entry point, using web platform available here: [[http://distance.roboticlab.eu/|http://distance.roboticlab.eu/]]. Please note that there is a variety of hardware specifications, and almost every node has different peripherals and physical properties. Following chapters present a list of the laboratories and their documentation. Read it carefully before jumping in into the programming it. To be able to connect to the labs you need to create an account and book a device as all devices can be used in exclusive mode only. You can book more than one at a time to create a fully-featured distributed IoT solution, even across a few countries!
 <note important>Note, even remotely, you're facing real, physical devices with actuators thus you always must consider in your experiments physical phenomena like time, friction, pendulum, and so on.</note>
-Each document has subchapters with hands-on labs to launch your experience with the device. You can extend it than yourself!

-version 2
 List of laboratories:
-**ITT Group, laboratories location: Tallinn, Estonia**
-  * Node 1 [[en:iot-open:remotelab:itt:remotelights|Remote lights]]
-  * Node 2 [[en:iot-open:remotelab:itt:thermohygro|Temperature/Humidity controlled rooms]]
 **SUT The Silesian University of Technology, laboratories location:  Gliwice, Poland**
+All nodes are using NodeMCU v.3 (ESP-12E) MCUs.
   * Node 1 and Node 3 [[en:iot-open:remotelab:sut:generalpurpose2]] - air RX
   * Node 2 and Node 4 [[en:iot-open:remotelab:sut:generalpurpose]] - air TX
+  * Node 5 roboarm (under maintenance)
   * Node 6 [[en:iot-open:remotelab:sut:color]]
+  * Node 7 rooftop (under maintenance)
+  * Node 8 through 11 [[en:iot-open:remotelab:sut:generalpurpose3]]

+Laboratory provides access to the uniform WiFi, private and separated network with MQTT and NodeRED services able to relay and route application-level messages to and from the Internet (devices remain separated, however). This way you can contact any of the nodes as they present themselves in a single IPv4 "internal.IOT" WiFi network.\\
+Nodes 1 through 4 are in a physical distance able to "see" one another, but separated from other devices.\\
+Nodes 8 through 11 are in a physical distance able to "see" one another, but separated from other devices.\\
+Node 6, node 7 and node 5 are in physically distant locations so there is no warranty that setting up the device as AP enables to connect to them from any other node. If you want to implement communication scenarios independent on the provided WiFi AP, please note to use VRELs 1 through 4 or 8 through 11.
+**ITT Group, laboratories location: Tallinn, Estonia**
+All nodes are using ESP8266 MCUs
+  * Node 1 [[en:iot-open:remotelab:itt:remotelights|Remote lights]]
+  * Node 2 [[en:iot-open:remotelab:itt:thermohygro|Temperature/Humidity controlled rooms]]
 **UME University di Messina, laboratory location: Messina, Sicilia, Italy**
+Nodes 1 through 5 use Arduino Uno with Ethernet Shield while Node 6 uses Arancino board.
   * Node 1-5 [[en:iot-open:remotelab:ume:smartme|SmartME Network Laboratory Arduino]].
   * Node 6 [[en:iot-open:remotelab:ume:arancino|SmartME Network Laboratory Arancino]].
