University of Trento (UNITN) has a long-standing history of scientific excellence and ranked 36th in “The European Teaching Ranking 2018” (1st among Italian Universities), and 5th among Italian Universities in the World University Rankings 2018. The Department of Information Engineering and Computer Science has been recently awarded excellence funding from the Italian government to develop and expand research and teaching laboratories, resulting in new freely accessible spaces for experimental activities.

UNITN has full ownership of their facilities, including laboratories, classes, rooms, and specific wireless communication testbeds, and a department-wide testbed with software-defined and UWB radios, recently enriched with mmWave communication and localisation capabilities. These testbeds are available for the SpecX DCs to use, along with software licences to operate them (e.g., MATLAB, NI LabView).
