EMONA TIMS provides university level wireless teaching equipment worldwide, focusing on hands-on experimentation and learning-by-doing since 1988. The TIMS approach is to build communication systems with individual modular circuits which functionally replicate blocks in a block diagram. Operating at the physical and data link layers, modulation schemes from AM, FM, PSK up to OFDM, TCM, and UWB can be modeled in the lab (over 250 experiments currently). By introducing an SDR module powered by GNU Radio, and running on a bootable Linux USB stick, students can now easily build experiments incorporating SDR elements alongside traditional hardware elements. This opens up an entirely new range of educational opportunities as students can also make their own GR blocks to complement existing options.

Founded in 1984, the SETI Institute is a nonprofit, multidisciplinary research and education organization whose mission is to lead humanity’s quest to understand the origins and prevalence of life and intelligence in the universe and share that knowledge with the world. Research at the SETI Institute encompasses the physical and biological sciences and leverages expertise in data analytics, machine learning and advanced signal detection technologies. The SETI Institute is a distinguished research partner for industry, academia and government agencies, including NASA and NSF.

Three centers anchor work at the SETI Institute: the Carl Sagan Center for the Study of Life in the Universe (research), the Center for Education and the Center for Outreach. The SETI Institute operates the Allen Telescope Array, a 42-element radio array consisting of 6-meter dishes, at the Hat Creek Radio Observatory.

As of 2020, the SETI Institute manages contracts, grants, and related administration for the GNU Radio project and engenders collaboration with the community around shared interests in science, engineering, and education.
Berkeley SETI Research Center is a world-leader in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence – the quest for a scientific answer to one of humanity’s oldest questions: Are we alone in the Universe? Housed in the Astronomy Department at the University of California, Berkeley, the team at BSRC leads the science program for the $100-million Breakthrough Listen project. Listen uses cutting-edge instrumentation at the world’s most powerful telescopes, gathering, analyzing, and archiving many petabytes of data per year in the search for artificial signals from beyond Earth. BSRC’s director, Dr. Andrew Siemion, is also Chair of SETI Research at the SETI Institute, and several members of the Berkeley science and engineering team are Visiting Scholars at the SETI Institute. A particular focus of these collaborations is the development of new capabilities on the Allen Telescope Array, including deeper integrations with GNU Radio.
